00:00All right, so a Bleacher Report put together on the heels of the Jalen Brown situation
00:04the worst trades of the 21st century since the year 2000,
00:09and there is a decent amount of New England on here.
00:13Like, so much that I just—
00:15How deep does this go? 10, 20?
00:17It goes 20. It goes 20.
00:18So I will go through the New England ones,
00:21because there's some obvious ones that are, you know, all around the country.
00:25But number 16, Mookie Betts to the Dodgers.
00:28That's only 16?
00:30Well, this is for every sport, like, all around the country since the year 2000.
00:37And when you hear the rest of them, you'll be like, okay.
00:39But how that's not the worst Boston trade this millennium?
00:42I mean, I don't know what else could best that.
00:45Oh, no. Oh, no.
00:46All right. Wait and find out.
00:48Number 14, Wes Welker to the Patriots.
00:51This is obviously one that worked out for the Patriots.
00:54Not all these are bad for New England. I got you.
00:56No, no, no. Some of them are good. Some of them are good for New England.
00:59And then you move down the list.
01:01Number 12, another one that's good for New England.
01:04Randy Moss to the Patriots.
01:05Oh, yeah. For sure.
01:06Oakland sending Randy Moss to New England.
01:07And what was that for a fourth round pick?
01:09Fourth round.
01:10Yeah. Fourth round.
01:11I still think that was my favorite Brady era was when it was Welker, Moss, and Brady, despite, obviously, the
01:18last game of the season.
01:19Despite never winning.
01:20Yeah.
01:21That was quite possibly the best offense I personally have ever seen, like, at a game.
01:28Like, going to, seeing it myself, it was just an absolute machine.
01:3223 touchdowns to Randy Moss, 50 touchdowns for the offense that year.
01:36Oh.
01:36Crazy.
01:37Truly one of the best.
01:38Then we go to, oh, by the way, they have Russell Wilson to the Broncos at number nine.
01:42And I can't get enough of them.
01:44That truly is one of the worst trades of all time.
01:46That's right.
01:47Yes.
01:48Then, okay, number seven is Miguel Carrera to the Tigers.
01:51And then at number six, they've got Jalen Brown to the 76ers.
01:55That is not worse.
01:56So, I guess it depends how you, what is the title of the headline?
02:00Because that's not worse for Boston than the Mookie trade.
02:03It is the worst trades of the century.
02:07Worst trades of the century.
02:09Yep.
02:09They say the 76ers eliminated the Boston Celtics in the first round.
02:13Less than two months later, the Celtics traded Brown to the Sixers for a surprisingly meager return.
02:17And then they, of course, compare everything and just say, how the hell could that have happened?
02:22Now, number five is a trade that benefited the Celtics.
02:26And I would say that this, in my lifetime, might be the greatest foresight, the greatest genius.
02:35And that would be Markel Fultz for Jason Tatum.
02:39Yeah, you forget about that.
02:41Danny Ainge, brilliant.
02:42I just remember when that happened, thinking to myself, there was not a player that I had heard more was
02:49a surefire generational player than Markel Fultz.
02:53And it's tough to remember that because he ended up being such a bust.
02:57But, Ted, do you remember before that draft, he was going to be the next big thing, right?
03:02Did the Celtics have the number one overall pick?
03:04They did.
03:04They traded back.
03:05And they traded back.
03:06They traded.
03:07Danny Ainge traded to number three.
03:09Dude, that is.
03:09I bet you will never see that again.
03:12Clankers.
03:12That'll never happen again.
03:14Where a guy's in the first spot and trades back in an NBA draft.
03:17I do remember producing here at the time, doing weekend shows, and I remember discussing who they should take with
03:23the first-round pick.
03:23And it wasn't like a slam dunk.
03:25Tatum's name was out there.
03:27But definitely, Fultz was getting all the buzz.
03:29What am I missing?
03:29Why wouldn't Danny, I don't remember exactly the details.
03:33Why wouldn't he just take Tatum number one overall?
03:36Like, why would you risk?
03:37Because you get, they gave up a bunch.
03:39They gave up that much.
03:40Yeah, they were able to get, oh, man, what was the, in exchange for Tatum and a future first-round
03:46pick, Philadelphia wound up with a player who's broken jumper.
03:49Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:49So they got a future first-round pick.
03:51Okay.
03:52All right, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
03:53So, you know, once again, absolute genius.
03:56And I guess the way they got around that was that there were a lot of, like, there was a
04:00lot of rules about scouts being able to go see it.
04:02But it was something crazy, like Danny Ainge's son had access to him because he wasn't part of the organization
04:08or something like that.
04:09He had inside info on Markel Fultz, who obviously ended up being a complete and total bust.
04:14Total.
04:14Number four, worst trade of the century, Deshaun Watson to the Browns.
04:17How that's not number one.
04:18Oh, so true.
04:19I have no idea.
04:21Number three, and this one's pretty great, and this one also benefited New England, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to
04:27the Nets.
04:27Yeah, yeah.
04:28Which set them up.
04:29It set them up for Jalen Brown, it set them up for Jason Tatum, and ultimately set them up for
04:33a championship.
04:34And as much as that crushed Celtics fans, I don't think there was anybody who were crying against it because
04:39they knew their time was up.
04:40Thanks to the Russian dude who owned the Nets who was desperate for a title at the time, right?
04:44Prokhorov was an idiot.
04:46And now he doesn't own the team anymore.
04:48Number two, Paul George for SGA and picks.
04:53Paul George is, you know, making his name known in this list on being on the bad side of things.
04:58And any guess as to what they believe the worst trade of the 21st century is?
05:04Luca.
05:04Gotta be, yeah.
05:05That's gotta be the worst one.
