Marc Stein on the last five blockbusters

While I don't read as much ESPN media as I used to, I strongly recommend Chad Ford's podcast.

But I liked this Marc Stein article quite a bit:


Weekend Dime: Evaluating the last five blockbusters - NBA

As indefensible as a Shaq trade appeared at the time, Stein makes a pretty good case that the Lakers got the best deal of anyone who traded a superstar. Had the Lakers shown a bit of savvy and not chased Kwame Brown, the Bryant-Butler-Odom combination at the 2-3-4 would be as fearsome as anything this side of Allen-Pierce-Garnett.
