[Music]
in sports not all trades are created
equal
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for another top
10 infamous trades in North American
sports his coolness under fire what he’d
accomplished was less as a collegiate
quarterback were the ingredients that
were necessary for the Giants to go
forth and win for this list we will once
again be looking at North American
sports trades that in the moment or over
a period of time came to be considered
infamous for one reason or another
San Francisco still will have the Golden
Gate Bridge cable cars Fisherman’s Wharf
North Beach and the best marriage of
City sea and sky in America but it will
no longer have Joe Montana number 10
Wilt Chamberlain from the Philadelphia
76ers to the Los Angeles Lakers will has
always said that he had been promised a
piece of ownership of the team and if he
was not going to get it she wanted to be
traded famed NBA big man Wilt
Chamberlain racked up an impressive
number of Records and awards while
playing for the 76ers not to mention an
NBA title so it came as quite a surprise
when he was dealt to the Lakers in the
summer of 68 for three relative nobodies
said I want to be traded I want to be
traded to a West Coast team and we got
Darrell him off and Archie Clark and
jerry chambers for will Chamberlain will
went to the Lakers it didn’t take long
for Chamberlain to adapt to his new team
leading them to five Finals appearances
in six years
the Sixers on the other hand didn’t
capture another NBA championship until
1983 multiple all did what Philadelphia
wanted it to do champion of the NBA
1982-83
number nine Frank Robinson from the
Cincinnati Reds to the Baltimore Orioles
fly ball well hit people I feel it is
going to be the 500 home run greatest
major-league career though unrelated to
MLB color barrier breaker Jackie Frank
Robinson was a baseball legend himself
becoming the first african-american MLB
manager everywhere I went it was how
does it feel to be the first black magic
I just wanted to be looked upon and
thought of as a major league manager his
playing career was also successful so he
spent his best years with two teams and
I usual feat in the days before free
agency starting out with Cincinnati in
1956 Robinson was named Rookie of the
Year
however despite his success and the fact
that he took his team to the 1961 World
Series
Robinson was shipped to Baltimore ahead
of the 1966 season in exchange for Milt
Pappas Jack Vulcan and Nick Simpson he
was very hurt by the trade it was a
shock to him guess what happened next
the Orioles wanted all that year and
guess who was named Series MVP that
right Frank Robinson Frank Robinson
Billy is one of those icons
you look – he’s almost like security for
young like Mary number 8 Nolan Ryan from
the New York Mets to the California
Angels tonight was a curveball and the
New York Mets win the ballgame Nolan
Ryan may have won his only World Series
with the Mets but it was his time in
California that showed the baseball
world how talented he truly was traded
in 1971 along with three other players
to the Angels in exchange for shortstop
Jim Fregosi Ryan would become an
eight-time all-star and record holder
for the most strikeouts in MLB history
for GoSee having struggled with injuries
only played a year and a half with the
Mets before moving on to the Texas
Rangers unsurprisingly the deal has
since been considered one of the most
lopsided in baseball history when I got
traded to the California Angels I really
wasn’t that excited about going to the
Angels because it meant changing leagues
and also a whole new set of teammates
but shortly after I got there I realized
that it was one of the best things that
ever happened to me number seven Derrick
Rose from the Chicago Bulls to the New
York Knicks what is my pleasure to award
to you the Kia NBA 2011 MVP trophy the
winner of the NBA Most Valuable Player
Award in 2011 Derrick Rose’s career has
been marred by injuries ever since the
first overall pick by his hometown Bulls
in 2008 his point guard was seen as the
saving grace for a team that struggled
mightily ever since the demise of their
90s dynasties those trying to get open
fires away
[Applause]
however years of injuries and playoff
disappointment led roads and forward
Justin holiday to be traded to the
Knicks for Jose Calderon Jaron grant and
Robin Lopez in June 2016
I heard a little bit but at the end of
the day my life is out of my hands
the big question behind this trade was
whether or not Rose could overcome his
injuries and return to his winning ways
if so the Knicks will easily have stolen
this trade from the Bulls think I’ll fit
in in any system I know how to get out
the way I’m a point guard so my job is
to make other guys better on the floor
number 6 Eli Manning from the San Diego
Chargers to the New York Giants with the
first choice in the 2004 NFL Draft
annual charges select Eli Manning in the
2004 NFL Draft the San Diego Chargers
were poised to select Eli Manning with
the first overall pick why don’t you
want to play for the Chargers you know
we’re not really giving details right
now we just we’ve made our decision and
that’s what we’re sticking to however
Manning had publicly stated before the
draft that he would not play for the
California based team if they picked him
that whole wanting to go New York I got
a little misunderstood it was never
wanting to go to New York there was this
I didn’t want to go to one place a deal
was then cooked up where the Chargers
would take Manning regardless and then
ship them to the Giants for their fourth
overall pick quarterback Phillip Rivers
Manning and Phillip Rivers
and also the Giants are assigning
through the Chargers their third round
pick of this draft while the Giants
clearly won the trade winning two Super
Bowls with Manning rivers is nothing to
scoff at either laterally the true
controversy in this deal was the
flat-out refusal of a big-name prospect
to play for a particular team number
five Pedro Martinez from the Los Angeles
Dodgers to the Montreal Expos that’s
strike three that’s number 300 300
career I should say season strikeouts
for Pedro Martinez sometimes you don’t
know what you have until it’s gone
considered by Dodgers manager Tommy
Lasorda to be too small a pitcher to
effectively start in the majors and in
desperate need of a second baseman
Martinez was dealt to the Expos for
Delino DeShields before the 1994 season
Martinez strikes touch Santiago Toronto
batters this evening
of course right now 10 in a row retired
while the shields was a solid ballplayer
himself Martinez was headed for
superstardom in his first season with
Montreal he helped lead the team to a
league-best 74 and 40 record before a
player strike abruptly ended the season
is only appropriate football game ends
on a strikeout that’s his breakout
Saipan consists of throwing game
not good enough to be a drummer
in 1997 after compiling a record of 17
and 8
Martinez became the first Expo to win
thus I am Award as the National League’s
best pitcher proving sign doesn’t always
matter when event 5 blackout number 5
for Martinez number 4 Joe Montana from
the San Francisco 49ers to the Kansas
City Chiefs it was huge
the arrival of rock star it was unlike
anything I’d ever seen
after missing the entire 1991 season and
much of the 92 season legendary
quarterback Joe Montana was itching to
get back on the field
Joe this is
however the 49ers had found a strong
replacement for the veteran QB and Steve
Young
while Montana was a hero in San Fran
leading the team to four Super Bowl
titles Young had earned the respect of
fans and teammates in his absence
just as there will always be please on
dogs there will be a quarterback
controversy somewhere in the NFL and now
there is one building here in San
Francisco
a rift quickly opened up in the locker
room causing Joe cool to request a trade
he was dealt to the Kansas City chief in
the spring of 1993 we are very pleased
to officially announce that Joe Montana
his lovely wife Jennifer and all of
their families are officially Kansas
City Chiefs young led the 49ers to a
Super Bowl soon after while the closest
thing Montana would get was the AFC
Championship game in 93 Montana throws
for the answer number three Julius
Erving from the New York Mets to the
Philadelphia 76ers
[Music]
corner
when the New York nets of the ABA merged
with the NBA at the start of the 1976-77
season they brought with them one of the
most dominant small forwards to ever hit
the court in 580 a season Irving won two
championships three MVP awards and three
scoring titles and now the doctor goes
to work unbelievable after the team went
back on their promise to raise his
salary
things between herbing and the nets
soured this prompted the team to sell
him to the 76ers for three million
dollars but not before the next pass on
picking up Irving’s contract dr. J
flourished with his new squad leading
them to an NBA championship in 1983
while the nets remained without a title
to this day number two Scottie Pippen
from the Seattle SuperSonics to the
Chicago Bulls the Seattle SuperSonics
select Scott Pippen of Central
Washington drafted stiffs overall by the
SuperSonics in the 1987 NBA Draft Pippen
was quickly traded to the Chicago Bulls
for olden Polynice and future draft
picks the great trade for bippity
sharing an opportunity to move into the
starting lineup where he probably would
have had to come off the bench for
Seattle polities carved out a
respectable 15 year career in the
league’s
it was Pippen who became a legend
together with Michael Jordan Pippen and
the Bulls went on to win six NBA
championships with Pippen winning
numerous awards along the way with
Pippen ultimately proving himself to be
a tremendous defender we have to imagine
that if the SuperSonics had it all to do
over again they wouldn’t have been so
quick to let Scottie go if I had played
with Chicago who knows what happened we
would want more titles before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions cream was one of the
most beautiful players I’ve ever watched
my
raising style he had the greatest shots
of the game with everything
[Applause]
here Bagwell
oh sorry Prudential row and row number
one Patrick Lach from the Montreal
Canadiens to the Colorado Avalanche it’s
not easy and it’s too bad all this war
situation came out having established
himself as one of the NHL’s premier
goalies Patrick law was less than
thrilled when ex-teammate Mario Tremblay
became his head coach early in the
1995-96 season tensions boiled over
during a game in which Tremblay refused
to pull her from the net even after he
allowed five goals in a single period I
prefer to wait after the second period
in a dressing room to tell him Patrick
I’m going to put that Jablonski minute
that’s my thinking was that okay but
like I said before I love a son
nine eight nine go when grewal was
finally pulled he immediately demanded
to be traded the result was one of the
most lopsided deals in NHL history the
had shipped wah and Captain Mike keen to
Colorado for joseline Tebow Martin rich
in ski and Andre Kovalenko I really
appreciate what the Montreal Canadiens
done for me gave me a chance to go and I
wanted thanks mr. Cory for all the
support over the years
the Avalanche went on to win two cups
with Raw in Nets the halves on the other
hand are still waiting and are still
trading away their franchise players mpk
