Remember when ... nobody won a Bucks/76ers/Suns trade
The trade deadline is two days away! This past Friday, we started ranking the five best and five worst deadline deals of all-time. Today, we check out the third-worst trade on this list:
Third-worst deadline deal: Feb. 19, 2015
Bucks acquire Michael Carter-Williams, Tyler Ennis, Miles Plumlee
Suns acquire Brandon Knight, Kendall Marshall
76ers acquire 2018 first-round pick
I know what you're thinking. Why is this so bad? Everybody lost in this trade. Carter-Williams played 79 games for the Bucks … poorly. Knight played 117 games for the Suns over two-plus seasons, but the team was terrible with him. Ennis and Plumlee did nothing for Milwaukee. Marshall was waived two days after the trade.
And that first-round pick for Philly? The 76ers used it to draft Mikal Bridges (10th overall, 2018) … and traded him to Phoenix for Zhaire Smith, whose NBA career lasted 13 games. It’s a big bag of nothing here.
