Warrior Draft History (We Traded Payton for Lister?!?!?)

by Dubbadown on Jun 28, 2007 11:15 AM PDT

Hey guys, came across this great link in Sports Guy's chat the other day. It lists every NBA transaction EVER! You can do a search on the Warriors and find all the trades, pickups, drops in their storied history. One trade I couldn't believe was in 1989 we traded the rights to Dana Barros (#16) to Seattle for their #1 in 1990 (which ended up being Gary Payton). But 2 months later, we traded that pick back to Seattle for Alton Lister. Now maybe the pick was Lottery Protected, but if it wasn't, what a bonehead move that was. Hopefully Mully and company won't repeat that kind of mistake today.

Pacers must feel really retarded

you think the Blazers feel bad for passing on Jordan to get Sam Bowie? They acquired that pick from the Pacers for a guy named Tom Owens! So to sum up, the Pacers traded Michael Jordan for Tom Owens! Hopefully, someone got fired for that!

And the Clippers traded their pick in that same 1984 draft to Philly for World B Free (I know, a great name). Philly took Charles Barkley. World B Free (end of his career) for Charles Barkley (start of HOF career). Someone should have been fired for that one, too.

thanks for the link. That's just fun going thru all of that.

Left hand, right hand, it doesn't matter. I'm amphibious.
