2006 NBA Trades

Denver received Allen Iverson; Ivan McFarlin from Philadelphia 76ers, sending Andre Miller; Joe Smith (Leynard); 2007 first-round pick (protected top 1 in 2007) (#21-Daequan Cook); first-round pick (protected top 7 in 2007, top 5 in 2008) (2007 #30-Petteri Koponen) in return.

Boston acquired Luke Jackson (Ryan); cash considerations from Cavaliers in exchange for Dwayne Jones; trade exception.

Atlanta acquired first round pick (protected top 10 in 2007, top 8 in 2008, top 5 in 2009) (2007 #11-Acie Law); cash from Pacers in exchange for Al Harrington; John Edwards.

Chicago exchanged Eddie Basden for Martynas Andriuskevicius in a transaction with broadly balanced realized value.

Denver acquired Joe Smith (Leynard) from Milwaukee Bucks for Ruben Patterson.

Milwaukee Bucks received Steve Blake; Brian Skinner; Ha Seung-Jin. Portland Trail Blazers received Jamaal Magloire.

The Nets acquired Mikki Moore from Sonics in exchange for 2009 second-round pick (#40, Derrick Brown).

Dallas received Anthony Johnson from Indiana Pacers and sent Darrell Armstrong; Josh Powell; Rawle Marshall in return.

Chicago sent J.R. Smith for Howard Eisley, 2007 second round pick (less favorable of Celtics, Warriors picks) (#49-Aaron Gray), 2007 second round pick (#51-JamesOn Curry), and the outgoing package produced materially greater realized value.

The long-term result was ultimately favorable to Pelicans: Houston received Kirk Snyder; Hornets' option to swap 2008 second round picks (#56-Sasha Kaun); cash from New Orleans Pelicans for Hornets' option to swap 2008 second round picks (#54-Maarty Leunen); cash.

New Orleans acquired Tyson Chandler for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith, pairing Chris Paul with the defensive, rebounding and vertical center who anchored the franchise’s 56-win 2007-08 team.

Dallas received Austin Croshere from Indiana Pacers and sent Marquis Daniels in return.

Golden State realized the stronger long-term return. The Warriors acquired Devin Brown; Keith McLeod; Andre Owens from Utah Jazz for Derek Fisher.

Houston traded Rudy Gay’s draft rights and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier, choosing an elite complementary defender for the Yao Ming–Tracy McGrady window while Memphis acquired the longer-lived scoring asset.

The 2006-07-12 trade leans slightly toward New Orleans Pelicans, though Indiana received useful value led by rights to Andrew Betts.

Milwaukee acquired Charlie Villanueva while sending out T.J. Ford; cash in the 2006-06-30 transaction with Raptors.

Trail Blazers Win: The trade is often remembered as a Boston precursor to Garnett, but that framing can obscure Portland's superior direct conversion. Ratliff's contract helped Boston construct a later package; Portland turned the seventh pick into Brandon Roy without another major acquisition. That difference makes the Trail Blazers the clear winner while preserving credit for Boston's asset management.

Boston acquired Brian Grant; rights to Rajon Rondo; cash considerations from Suns in exchange for 2007 first-round pick (#24 Rudy Fernandez).

Boston acquired rights to Leon Powe from Nuggets in exchange for 2007 second-round pick (#49 Aaron Gray).

Chicago received rights to Thabo Sefolosha for rights to Rodney Carney, 2007 second round pick (#38-Kyrylo Fesenko), $1M cash and finished with a modest realized-value edge.

Portland acquired LaMarcus Aldridge’s draft rights and a future second-round pick from Chicago for the rights to Tyrus Thomas and Viktor Khryapa.

Dallas received 2007 second-round pick (#50-Renaldas Seibutis) from Los Angeles Lakers and sent draft rights to Danilo Pinnock in return.

Detroit acquired rights to Cheikh Samb from Los Angeles Lakers for Maurice Evans.

The realized return strongly favored Houston: Houston received rights to Lior Eliyahu from Orlando Magic for cash considerations.

The 2006-06-28 trade leans slightly toward Portland Trail Blazers, though Indiana received useful value led by rights to James White.

Memphis and Portland Trail Blazers produced broadly comparable realized value in the 2006-06-28 exchange: rights to Alexander Johnson for 2008 second-round pick (#33-Joey Dorsey).

Milwaukee Bucks received rights to Damir Markota. San Antonio Spurs received 2007 second round pick (more favorable of Bucks, Rockets) (#33-Marcus Williams (Eliot)).

Minnesota acquired 2007 second round pick (#41-Chris Richard); cash while sending out rights to Bobby Jones (Ray) in the 2006-06-28 transaction with 76ers.

Portland acquired Brandon Roy’s draft rights from Minnesota for Randy Foye’s rights and cash, receiving a three-time All-Star and franchise leader before knee injuries shortened his career.

On June 28, 2006, Toronto acquired cash considerations from Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for rights to Edin Bavcic.

On June 21, 2006, San Antonio Spurs acquired Matt Bonner; Eric Williams; 2009 second round pick (#51-Jack McClinton) from Toronto Raptors in exchange for Rasho Nesterovic; cash.

On June 8, 2006, Toronto acquired Kris Humphries; Robert Whaley from Utah Jazz in exchange for Rafael Araujo.

The Nets acquired Bostjan Nachbar from Hornets in exchange for Marc Jackson; Linton Johnson III; cash.

Cleveland acquired Lee Nailon and 2006 second round pick (#42-Daniel Gibson) for 2006 conditional second round pick (if Cavaliers finish with at least third best record in the league) (not exercised), producing a clear Cavaliers win on realized player, draft and roster value.

Cleveland acquired Flip Murray for Mike Wilks and $500K cash; the completed outcomes give the Cavaliers a modest realized-value edge.

Denver acquired Reggie Evans; Ruben Patterson; Charles Smith (Cornelius) from Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Seattle SuperSonics for Earl Watson; Voshon Lenard; Bryon Russell; 2008 second-round pick (#50-DeVon Hardin).

The realized outcome leaned slightly toward Miami Heat: Houston received Gerald Fitch; trade exception from Miami Heat for Derek Anderson.

New York acquired Steve Francis from Orlando for Trevor Ariza and Penny Hardaway's expiring contract. Francis duplicated Stephon Marbury's ball-dominant role, struggled with injuries and fit, and lasted little more than a season. Orlando cleared long-term salary and added a young wing, making this a clear Magic win.

Detroit came out slightly ahead, acquiring Kelvin Cato, 2007 first round pick (protected top 5) (#15 – Rodney Stuckey) for Darko Milicic, Carlos Arroyo.

Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder produced broadly comparable realized value in the 2006-02-14 exchange: Vladimir Radmanovic for Chris Wilcox.

The realized outcome leaned slightly toward New Orleans Pelicans: Houston received Maciej Lampe from New Orleans Pelicans for Moochie Norris.

Charlotte acquired Lonny Baxter from Houston Rockets for Keith Bogans.

New York acquired Jalen Rose; 2006 first round pick (#20-Renaldo Balkman); cash from Raptors for Antonio Davis. New York received useful value, but the partner side finished with the better overall return.
