I'm leaving players out of the discussion for now, but you cannot build a dynasty with trades. A single trade for a starter is sure to gut your roster of talent or rob the future of meaningful draft picks. Dynasties are built through free agency and hitting on cost controlled prospects in the draft. This sets up the franchise for perennial success. See GS, Spurs

I honestly can't see a single player worth trading for given our current position.

With the BK picks I'd be very disappointed if after years of patience we gutted our roster with an all-in move for a  year or two of contention before having to blow it up.

Say No To Trades!!!

The Celtics traded the #1 pick in the draft for Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. How did that work out again?

'80s Lakers were built, in large part, to trades.

Economics of the NBA is vastly different now in terms of value of players and draft picks. Chandler Parsons is a max player, Evan Turner is worth $18m... people wanted us to trade our first with other assets for Porzingis.

A trade for a starter is going to cost you immensely in future prospects.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
Without the Trade for Dennis Johnson, where would we be. IT4 came in a trade.
Trades work the best. You know what you are getting in most cases. The Rockets just made a great trade today. They are now no. 2 in the west with a bullet.

Dennis Johnson
KG
Robert Parrish
Ray Allen

All beg to differ.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

Wasnt Durant traded? Iguodala was traded to the Warriors as well. Lebron was traded to the Heat as well. Love was traded to the Cavs as well. The Pistons wouldnt win a championship if Rasheed wasnt traded to them. Gasol was traded to the Lakers, KG and Allen were traded to the Celtics. In fact, the only team that won a championship without a significant trade was the Spurs.

The Celtics entered the 1956 draft with the 7th pick. This pick was sent to the St. Louis Hawks – along with Ed Macauley and Cliff Hagan, for the 2nd pick.

2nd pick = Bill Russell

Kareem was acquired via trade. The draft picks used on Magic and Worthy were acquired via trade.

McHale, Parish, and DJ were all acquired via trade.

And of course, while not a dynasty, the '08 team was built via trade. Heck, the entire reason for optimism with our current squad is due to trades.

So, maybe a better title should be: one NBA dynasty wasn't built via trades (the Spurs, who did it through one season of strategic tanking and great draft picks).
