Solid work here gentlemen. When I saw the post, I was glad to see the CP3 trade in there. That one was wild. Elway on the cutting room floor was a good call. It was interesting to read and think about how karma on these trades doesn’t fare well, at least not immediately. Frank Gore was prob the only one who benefited straight away. Others got theirs later, or in the case of CP3, never did win a title.
Thanks for the love Matt!! Tommy’s right man looking back at these are such fun rabbit holes to go into. The CP3 and A-Rod situations had some wild ramifications. Imagine how many more titles the Lakers would’ve won if they had CP3 and Kobe? I also need at least two more hours of material of Tommy writing about that Brett Favre-Bucs almost trade because I could read about that forever lol
CP3 and Kobe would’ve made Birdman caliber bigs into 16/10 guys on the reg. They would’ve cycled through them because they’d be overvalued, would go get max money and immediately turn into Deandre Jordans. But yeah, they would’ve wrecked shop.

Thanks Matt! Can’t tell ya the amount of rabbit holes I went down researching this. So many tabs open.
It’s a great topic. The news cycle puts so many of these kinds of things in the archives we don’t access. Fun reminders.
