Well with the Chandler/OK trade turning out to be not OK, it made me wonder about some other deals that went down then didn't...

Off the top of my head (and this is in no way a great deal)

Dino Radja for Clarence Weatherspoon and Michael Cage - I remember actually trading the two to my NBA live team in anticipation - Spoon man was scoring 20 a game, it was sick....

Obviously there must be bigger names and better deals that failed because of a failed physical....

I seem to remember Kevin Willis being in one, but again I'd rather not look it up, more fun for us to come up with them from memory

  • You know my methods, Watson.
i remember several years ago the celtics had a deal in place that would have sent brian shaw to the kings for wayman tisdale...

don't know how that fell apart, but that would have been nice for boston.

Greatest I can remember - Robert Horry (HOU) for Sean Elliott (DET).  I remember reading that Horry hung a Pistons jersey with his name on it on his wall for years to remind him of how Houston hadn't wanted him, and it motivated him to become as valuable to his team as possible.

Don't remember why that one fell apart either.  EDIT:  Turns out Elliott's kidney problems scuttled it.
