Looking back on the 1st Webber trade

Have you ever wondered who ended up filling in those draft picks that were traded to Orlando w/ Penny Hardaway for C Webb back in 93?

I was bored one day so I decided to do some research and interestingly, here's what I found.

1993:

Golden State Warriors get:

Chris Webber ('93 1st Rnd 1st Pick)

Orlando Magic get:

Anfernee Hardaway ('93 1st Rnd 3rd Pick)

GSW's 96 1st Rnd pick - (This pick was then traded to the Washington Bullets for Scott Skiles and the Bullets '96 2nd rnd draft pick who ended up being Randy Livingston)

GSW's 98 1st Rnd pick - Keon Clark

GSW's 00 1st Rnd pick - Mike Miller

As we all know, the Webber/Nellie fiasco occurred in 1994 leading to the following trade:

1994:

Washington Bullets get:

Chris Webber

Golden State Warriors get:

Tom Gugliotta

WB's 96 1st Rnd pick (This was actually the pick the warriors originally traded to the Magic so essentially, the dubs got back their pick) - He ended up being the infamous guy picked over Kobe Bryant, Todd Fuller.

WB's 98 1st Rnd pick (There must've been a stipulation here where the warriors got whichever pick was higher between the Bullets and the Dubs because they got to keep their pick based on their record at #5) - Vince Carter. What seemed lopsided at the time now turns out to be slightly even as he was then traded for Antawn Jamison and cash. The extra cash may have made it a little uneven.

WB's 00 1st Rnd pick - Chris Mihm

Now why didn't Chris Mihm ever end up on the Warriors you ask? Here's why...

1999:

New York Knicks get:

Latrell Sprewell

Golden State Warriors get:

John Starks

Chris Mills

Terry Cummings

The following season a 3 team trade occurrs between the Bulls, Sixers, and the Dubs...

2000:

Chicago Bulls get:

Bruce Bowen

John Starks

GSWs 00 1st Rnd Pick - Chris Mihm

Philadelphia 76ers get:

Toni Kukoc

Golden State Warriors get:

Larry Hughes

Billy Owens

So in conclusion, when the warriors traded for C webb, they actually gave up Anfernee Hardaway, Keon Clark, and Mike Miller. And when they got rid of C webb, they actually got a pretty good return in Tom Gugliotta, Vince Carter, and Chris Mihm ( I excluded Todd Fuller since that pick ended up coming back to us and I just hate that name because it always reminds me of where we missed Kobe).

If I'm bored 15 years from now, I might do something similar with the J Rich trade or the Pau Gasol trade .

Penny-Cwebb-Gugs-DMarshall-Fortson-VanExell-DDavis-BDiddy.

(I know Fortson was a filler and Jamison was a big part of the Van Exel trade)

Don't be so hard on not getting Kobe

What if he turned out to suck with us? Some players just can’t play on some certain teams.

ha

warriors only team during that time that could have had the 96 bulls and only could get 10 wins and 72 losses. for some reason thats how it worked. sadly.

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Yeah, whatever. Who wants a freakishly athletic 17 year old, when you can have an Academic All-American. 4 ppg, and .3 bpg. Dynamite. Maybe if he had taken that Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, then maybe I'd be talking about Fuller in a different light.

Kobe wouldn't have played here anyway

He was drafted by Charlotte and basically demanded to be traded to the Lakers.

I excluded Todd Fuller

” since that pick ended up coming back to us and I just hate that name because it always reminds me of where we missed Kobe”
Shoulda excluded Billy Owens too?
