NBA's Biggest In-Season Trades

The Suns acquired KJ, the seventh pick in the 1987 draft, in the middle of his rookie season in a five-player trade that also netted them Mark West and Tyrone Corbin from the Cavaliers. Johnson, who had been stuck behind point guard Mark Price in Cleveland, went on to become a three-time All-Star and the dynamic floor leader of Phoenix's 1993 Finals team. The Cavs, meanwhile, also did well in the trade, obtaining starting forwards Larry Nance and Mike Sanders to play alongside center Brad Daugherty.
