    Clyde for Glen Rice and Charlotte's 1st Round Pick in 1996. Draft Kobe Bryant. Maloney, Bryant, Rice, Barkley, Olajuwon.

    Yeah, this is just like the Grandpa Paul trade except Clyde never made $40mm/yr, continued to post stats much better than Thorpe, and we got a championship out of the deal.

    How about we talk about the Charles Barkley trade instead?

    Yes, I would trade Clyde.

    Trade Clyde to the Knicks/MSG for Mike Breen.
    Hire JVG
    ???
    Profit! (or in the words of Breen: BANNNNNNGGGGGG!)

    The numbers are clear, Randolph Childress x Ryan Anderson >= Clyde Drexler - Otis Thorpe. Obviously divided by the square root of Marcelo Nicola.

    Biggest Morey blunder indeed. This is worse than passing on Kawhi.
