NBA breaks trend with exciting 2001 trading deadline
Posted: Friday February 23, 2001 12:38 AM
The NBA trading deadline doesn't stir quite the emotions or anticipation of its baseball counterpart. Well, the NBA broke the mold this season with a flurry of last-minute, impact deals. CNNSI.com's Jacob Luft takes a look at deals made on the NBA trading deadline since 1987, broken down by memorable and not-so-memorable years:

Etan Thomas

| Comment: The Sixers get the big man they need to confront Shaq or Tim Duncan in the Finals. Not having the injured Theo Ratliff available for the next few weeks is actually a boost for the Hawks' lottery hopes. Will the critics who bashed Head Wizard Michael Jordan now praise him for pulling off a trade of salary-cap killer and career underachiever Juwan Howard? |
| 1999 |
| Nets get: |
T'wolves get: | Bucks get: |
Stephon Marbury

| Grizzlies get: |
Rockets get: |
| Rodrick Rhodes |
Sam Mack |
| Comment: The Bucks did well to get Terrell Brandon in return for Stephon Marbury, who would have left as a free agent after the season. The under-appreciated Sam Cassell always has been just good enough to get traded. |
| 1996 |
| Heat get: |
Warriors get: |
Tim Hardaway helped usher in a winning era in Miami. Eliot J. Schechter/Allsport |
|
Tim Hardaway
Chris Gatling |

| Hawks get: |
T'wolves get: |

| Comment: Pat Riley came into Miami and cleaned house, eventually bringing in Alonzo Mourning to help out a rejuvenated Tim Hardaway. Chris Gatling gets traded more often than the typical Pokemon card. |
| 1994 |

Bucks get: |
Frank Brickowski
1st-round pick |
Mike Gminski |
| Comment: Jeff Hornacek became an integral part of Utah's two Western Conference championship teams. The Hawks traded the franchise's most popular player for a rental. |
| 1989 |
| Kings get: |
Celtics get: |
Danny Ainge
Brad Lohaus |
Joe Kleine
Ed Pinckney |
| Knicks get: |
Blazers get: |
| Kiki Vandeweghe |

| Comment: Getting rid of Danny Ainge signaled the beginning of the end of the Celtics' heyday. |

Sonics get: |
| Brad Sellers |
Steve Johnson
2nd-round pick |
| 1987 |
| Bulls get: |
Cavaliers get: |
| Ben Poquette |
2nd-round pick |
| Comment: After eight long years of waiting, the Warriors will finally reap the dividends this year from that Ed Nealy trade back in 1993. Regarding 1991, it's hard to figure out who got the worst of that Benoit Benjamin-for-Olden Polynice swap. |
