You could also have thrown Deandre Jordan's deal with the Clippers in there. Jordan had verbally agreed to join the Mavs, then at the last minute signed with the Clippers who promised to help him make money off the court with their business connections. The NBA even fined the Clippers for it.

You forgot the Serge Ibaka for Oladipo and Sabonis trade that sent the Magic org back for years. It looks like the Thunder fleeced the Magic, but if you take a deep dive into it, the Magic GM at the time was Rob Hennigan a former OKC asst. GM. later that season at the trade deadline the Magic dealt Ibaka to the Raptors for pennies on the dollar, leading to Hennigan getting fired after that season. Then later on Hennigan was rehired as an OKC asst. GM.

I still believe kirilenko was offered op items in world of warcraft worth the rest of his salary

Don’t forget the Deandre Jordon situation, his teammates literally locked him in a room until he resigned with the Clippers, backing out of a deal with Dallas.

Spurs already damaged by the Kawhi and Green trade then the Morris case happened which damaged the Spurs long term plans, especially when they lost a key player.

The Minnesota Timberwolves really screwed KG’s early time there and if it wasn’t for the fact of that Joe Smith signing they did , they wouldn’t had to forfeit all those draft picks they had , KG could’ve had legitimate help instead of in the twilight years in Minnesota

The last NBA Shady Deals feels like a murder case all leading to one guy in the end

That Jason "Reign" stuff, that was fresh for me. Dang. Felt like a casual

Good for kirilenko, he probably has some oil stocks in russia

Had the CP3 to Lakers trade happened, the Banana Boat lineup would have been a reality.

That Bertrans deal still irks me because a stretch big is probably the biggest need for the Spurs right now.

Pau Gasol to the Lakers, courtesy of Jerry West being the GM in Memphis at that time, was pretty fishy.

Definitely one of Andy’s best videos so far this year

Clicked faster then Paul George requesting a trade after Kawhi leaves

Chris Paul to the Lakers will always be one of the biggest What ifs in NBA History.

oh my favorite nba youtuber back at it

All right Andy Hoops with another NBA Saturday video let’s get it on 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

How could you not mention Chris Paul and Blake Griffin literally kidnapping DeAndre Jordan and apply the heaviest pressure possible to get him to back out of a nearly finished contract with the Mavericks?

Andy, do a video on Mark Eaton. He died a few days ago and I think he deserves the praise, significance and attention from someone like you

Wasn’t Kawhis uncle one of the shadiest ppl 😂 he wanted some crazy shit to join the lakers which was illegal i couldn’t remember all the details but i remember there’s some debates about kawhis uncle

Andy never misses a chance to show his boy AK-47. GOOD VIDEO!

Andy you’re my favorite NBA KZfaqr these days homie

I've always understood David Stern's move on the veto. Didn't have crap to do with the Lakers being a super team. The nba wanted somebody to buy the hornets and CP3 was a budding superstar. The original offer was cp3 for Kevin martin 28, lamar Odom 32, Goran Dragic 25 and Luis Scola 31. Martin was a walking bucket but was in his late 20's and not going to be the star of a team anybody wanted to spend 600m on. The others were old or unproven. Eric Gordon was coming off his best season and only 23. Chris Kaman had been an Allstar recently and still under 30. Aminu was coming off a rookie season so he didn't matter. No, still not as attractive as Chris Paul, but more promising than what Houston and Lakers could offer.

It must’ve been hot outside if they were done in the shade

Yaw remember when Elton brand tried bring in Baron Davis to the clippers in 08 but Elton brand left and went to the 76ers? Does anyone remember that?

I hope that you can make a "How good actually was" video for NBA coaches Andy. I always enjoy your videos 💯

As a Spurs fan I was really pissed when Morris didn't sign with the Spurs we don't have many moves back then and we really need a good big men. Then this happen he didn't sign to the Spurs and we lose Bertans who blossomed on Washington. That agent shady AF

With the Lakers and CP3 trade I think you forgot to mention how they ended up “luckily” landing the #1 pick that landed them AD & I feel made it more attractive to potential buyers which eventually worked considering they sold him to the saints owner

What's so funny about the Timberwolves situation is they always acted like they had a really great general manager in Kevin McHale but he was always a horrible talent evaluator and obviously a cheat. Being a good player does not translate to being a good team manager. The Boston Celtics mid-80s teams seem to be a storehouse of future management big shots. Larry Bird went on to quite a bit of success with Indiana and obviously Danny ainge has had a lot of impact in Boston. Kevin McHale is the weakest of the lot. They had some success in Minnesota but a team with Kevin Garnett is going to have some success. They were horrible putting enough talent around him and so those years were pretty much wasted.

Good video man, keep it up!

That Joe Smith contract doesn't make any sense at all. It makes a lot of sense for the Timberwolves who get an 80 million player or let's call him a $20 million per year player for less than 2 million per year. Even if he doesn't get hurt and he makes it to the bird contract he would only get 86 million dollars at that point. That's just a stupid deal because there's no way that you can force the Timberwolves to sign him at that point for the bird deal. They could cut him at the end of 3 years and have spent 6 million dollars or less for a guy that was supposed to have been paid 60 million for the same amount of time. His agents were incredibly untalented. Turns out that Joe Smith was not that talented either. He sort of reminded me of Marcus camby. Another big time college player who was just better than average. Somebody who at their very best might pick up an All-Star or two but that would be it. I can't remember what ended up happening with his money after they canceled the Timberwolves deals?

Wow so Minnesota potentially lost out on winning a championship because of a very illegal and irresponsible move on their part. Now I understand why sometimes some franchises are so mediocre: poor management

Great video man

I think McHale was referring to teams like Portland at the time that had so many all star caliber players yet still were under the salary cap.

Of course the infamous Chris Paul Lakers trade , and David Stern Vetoed it , Lakers fans will always remember how they got screwed over that deal , Kobe could’ve gotten that 6th ring if he had prime CP3

I remember that Joe Smith-Minnesota TWolves scandal back in the 90s-2000s. Poor TWolves.

Spurs could of really used Bertans

Keep up the good work

9:20 when you mentioned Carlos boozer, I know this is a year later so you didn't have this information but new information has come out with him being on the Dan lebatard show that he could not sign with Cleveland because the way they set it up he would have gotten in trouble. So he had to leave but the front office used that negativity that the fans perceived as him leaving to not take the blame themselves.

Part 2? I love this video

Anyone see the Harrell contract with Lakers shady too?

as a spurs fan, letting davis dertans still hurts

Minnesota would of picked washouts anyways

Great video

Facts. As a spurs fan, what Morris did is unforgivable

The Deandre Jordan and Mavericks thing could have been added possibly

That Joe Smith one doesn't make sense, why is that not allowed? If both parties are okay with it, seems like a reasonable strategy lol and any team is capable of doing it....

that kirilenko hair tho 😂😅😆🤣😄

Derek Anderson did the Spurs wrong like that too.. Signed with Spurs over Portland then after 1 year asked to get out of his contract to restructure for the team but just left to play with the blazers.

Hey Andy you should make a video about the nba television contracts throughout the years and how it changed the league

1:58 that face n that contract goes together

This is what I imagine sports journalism/reporting to actually be. This is the interesting stuff, not the trite E news style shit you see regularly.

These lawyers/agents are working with the powers that be. They are tricking these players into being poor after their careers, with purposely bad advice/investments and literally robbing them in most cases. They don't have your best interest at heart! They are apart of a greater plot. 👁

As shady the Celtics and nets team was looking back in retrospect it worked out for Brooklyn lol

You forgot about Jerry stackhouse/Jason Kidd in 2008 with the Mavs.

I'd like to see more videos like this.

Can't wait to see your examination of everything red aurebach did.

I sure wish somebody could break down the somewhat strange trade Rod Thorn pulled off that got the New Jersey Nets a bunch of players including Shawn Bradley

So many great topics, so little effort.

KG's career😭😭😭 (my all-time favorite player)

Hedo Turkoglu before. commits to Portland but signs with the Raptors

Joe Smith also defaulted on an Aston Martin in Atlanta

I'm sure there has been a lot more players that have been done over by clubs than the other way around. When profit is the end game, corruption is never tor far away.

The Cp3 trade is controversial too because the original deal with the Lakers was better than the final deal

In the Philippines, SAN MIGUEL & GINEBRA has the most SHADIEST DEALS in terms of trades. As a Ginebra fan these deals are so disgusting.

Pretty much every trade involving Keith Van Horn's Contract should make this list.

hey Andy I really appreciate your show . I love your channel .. I just had a suggestion .. can u do some WCW WWF videos ..or different sports PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

That background music is so soothing

That agent really has a unchable face lol

Wasn't there one of DeAndre Jordan where he wanted to sign with the Mavericks. But the Clippers like...locked him in a room or something until he resigned with the Clippers

remember when the tyson chandler to the thunder & shareef abdur-rahim to the nets trades fell through?

Man Minnesota forever screwed up Garnett’s early career!! Could’ve honestly had more rings for the team he gave everything for! Until they screwed him!

DJ's situation with the Clippers and Serge Ibaka's situation in Orlando could've been included in this video.

I am for anything that wipes that smug smirk from pops face

Please make a video about on your opinion in boston & kyrie drama, from the logo to the water bottle thrower..

A backstabbing lawyer, what?🤣🤣

The under the table offer to Bojan Bojondavic to the Bucks last off season changes the fates of the Bucks and Hawks significantly.

All those trades w Rain/Reign/Rane however tf it's spelled were really confusing to me. Especially because all 3 dudes left their initial teams for much worse teams. I didn't realize they all had the same agent... something sketchy there for sure.

If i remember correctly, Kirilenko didn't even play for Nets fully. And went back to play in Eastern European basketball league. Which just kinda tells he was not in the mood anymore.

Kirilenko looks so much like Brent Barry, it's uncanny

I wasn't aware of this wow

I honestly think the CP3 trade was vetoed cuz Stern didn’t want the Lakers to become threats to the rise of Lebron in Miami.

Let’s not forget the Patrick Ewing draft debacle and then cp3 as mentioned… also the hornets magically were owned by the league again and guess what 2012 Anthony Davis.

Surprised there was no mention of Charles Barkley with the Houston Rockets since he's been slightly more open about it over the years and it being why he hates the rockets.

i hope andy hoops talk about why charlotte hornets traded kobe during the draft to the lakers was there something that happen that caused that? that would make an interesting vid

I wish AK was in his prime rn. I know his scoring was streaky, but he's 6'9" 220, could handle the ball and defend 5 positions... like a taller, less offputting version of Draymond Green. If I'm not mistaken, I THIIINK AK was the last dude to get a 5×5 in the NBA but i could be tripping

Wasn’t Morris with rich Paul when he back out of the contract with the Spurs

I remember deandre Jordan agree to sign with Dallas but ended up backing out and went back to the clippers

You gotta do more research on the Chris Paul trade Andy. Jeanie buss said on the All the Smoke Podcast that the trade didn't go through because team governors were in New York at the time negotiating a new CBA, and during that time noone was supposed to be making trades. Dell Demps of New Orleans was on the phones trading Chris Paul anyway which was not allowed. If Dell Demps would've just shut up for 1 more day Chris Paul would've been in a Lakers Jersey.

AK-47 was looking like Beau Burnham with that long hairdo

The best part of the Chris Paul deal is that David Stern negotiated a much worse deal for everyone involved lol

Is this a re-upload? Am I having a stroke? I feel like I learned about the AK47 story from Andy before

Kevin Mchale trading KG to the Celtics and Jerry West trading Gasol to the Lakers was always super shady to me.

Every time a superstar turns down the max from their incumbent team and takes a pay cut from a big market club, I assume that player is getting cash payments on top of his contracted paychecks.

If i were an NBA franchise, id put a sign on the door saying "will not sign any clients of jason rayne"

Rick Fox better be on here

Oh no Jason! They've caught on to you!

Kind of did. Brook Lopez spurned the Rockets after there was an agreement for him to go there only to resign with Milwaukee.

I thought Rich Paul was Morris’ agent at that time and then parted ways afterwards?

F David Stern...
