The most profitable draft signing downward trade in NBA history? In exchange for Tanhua to lead the team to win the championship, and send away the No. 1 pick
2:23pm, 30 August 2025Basketball
In the NBA, teams often make some trades. The purpose of their work is to strengthen the lineup and achieve the goal. Generally speaking, people either change the right puzzle player or trade the stars. There are still very few player exchanges in drafts. Looking at the more famous history, the Mavericks exchanged No. 6 for the No. 9 for Nowitzki, who traded No. 5 for the No. 9 for the No. 5 for Doncic. The Mavericks made both of these transactions, and it is understandable that Doncic can play. After all, he dominated the European basketball world at the age of 18, and he traded upwards. He exchanged the No. 5 draw for a Tanhua. His strength seems to have improved. It is still difficult to make a downward transaction like No. 1 King, unless the team has a unique talented vision, and looking at history, No. 1 King may not be the most profitable downward transaction in history.
If you want to say the most profitable thing is the operation of Danny Angie in 2017. They had the No. 1 pick in 2017, but this No. 1 pick is not their own, but the draft pick obtained by Garnett and Pierce from the Nets that year, and they became the No. 1 pick. Although this session is not a big year for the draft in 2017, two outstanding backcourt players have basically locked in the No. 1 pick and No. 1 pick, they are Fultz and Ball Brother.
Fultz was considered a combination of Harden and Curry at the time. He had athletic ability and body shape that was no less than Harden when he was young. He was even better than Harden's athletic ability. A point guard could jump and dunk at the free throw line, and his three-point shooting was also very good. He had the potential to become a top-level ball-holding core in the future. His talent was comparable to Ross. Because his finishing ability was better, he was also considered a favorite for the No. 1 pick.
Ball Brother is the most all-round second in this class. His upper limit may not be as high as Fultz, but his lower limit is too high. He showed his top pass ability in college. He was 1.98 meters tall and could defend multiple positions. The ball quotient is high and has good defense. Although his offensive ability is not top-notch, he has three points. In the future, he will be at least a top blue-collar point guard. Because his playing style is like a magician, his template is also a magician. The Lakers, who had the second-hand pick at the time, wanted to win him.
Although the Celtics had the No. 1 pick at that time, they didn't want a point guard because the team already had an All-Star backcourt like Isaiah Thomas (Irving's deal took place after the draft), so they wanted a forward line more, and the Celtics team has a tradition of cornerstones of the forward line. From Bird to Pierce, the forward line with rich offensive methods was their favorite, so they took a fancy to Tatum.
After the trial training of Tatum, the team also thought Tatum was very good at that time, so Anji also had crazy ideas. He didn't want the No. 1 pick, because choosing Tatum with the No. 1 pick is equivalent to a waste. The 76ers were still believing in the process at the time. They liked top talent very much, so Anji had a solution. They found the 76ers and expressed their willingness to trade the No. 1 pick, so the 76ers could win Fultz. If they waited for the Tanhua pick, they might be defeated by the Celtics or the Lakers.
Although they already have Simmons, the 76ers were unable to withstand the temptation in the face of such top talent. They gave the Tanhua lottery + 1 first-round pick to exchange for the No. 1 pick. Finally, in the draft, they happily chose Fultz, and Anji also successfully got Tatum. After the transaction was completed, it is estimated that everyone has also seen the result that Fultz did not perform well after joining the 76ers.
He had no shooting memory due to Yipu's disease. In this case, even if he practiced hard in the offseason, he still couldn't practice it. The 76ers regretted it after using it for two years and sent him to the Magic. At that time, the Magic wanted to try whether he could make it come out. After all, his talent was too good, but it was not ideal after trying. Now Fultz has fallen to the point where he has no ball to play, and it is a pity that he was ruined by injuries.
In contrast, Tatum has never missed the playoffs in leading the team in the past few years, and has led the Celtics to win the championship in 24 years. Relying on his outstanding performance, he has also become the top ten players in the league. The key is that Tatum is still very young. Although he has suffered a serious injury, with his age and current development of medical technology, it is also very promising to recover from the peak in the future. In the future, he may lead the Celtics to win more honors.
North King spent 21 years to help the Mavericks win a championship. Tatum still has a chance to win more championships in the future, so now, Tatum's deal may be the most profitable. After all, they also got a first-round pick. Angie built a future for the Celtics. I wonder if he can bring the Jazz to such a height. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Celtics and Tatum? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
