People need to understand that their is no player in the league that will never be traded. Look, teams are probably receiving calls for Payton, Garnett, Duncan, as we speak currently.If a dream trade could be received from the Sonics, Spurs, Wolves, etc they will not hesitate to trade these specific players. Look it is all about the team winning, not just about one player. You would be stupid to just ignore and reject all trades without thinking about how your team could improve in the long run.To get better, teams need to take risks and just standing still and doing nothing will never get that team better. Consider this list of players that have been traded:
Charles Barkley
Clyde Drexler
Patrick Ewing
Hakeem Olajuwon
Stephon Marbury
Jason Kid x 2
Terrell Brandon
Michael Finley
Alonzo Mourning
Larry Johnson
Glen Rice x 3
Shareef Abdur - Rahim
Larry Nance
Tom Chambers
Dominique Wilkins
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Jamal Mashburn
Jalen Rose'
Grant Hill
Tracy McGrady
Jermaine O'Neal
Scottie Pippen x 2
Latrell Sprewell
Marcus Camby
Elton Brand
Penny Hardaway
Chris Webber x 2
Mitch Richmond x 2
Tim Hardaway x 2
Chris Mullin
As you can see when these players began dominating we never expected teams to pull the trigger on trading them. That is my whole point. I mean who expected Brand to get traded last year. He was the Bulls best player by far and he went for a high school kid, who was unproven, at that time. Sure Jordan, Bird, etc never got traded but apart from Shaq, their is not any players as good as Jordan and Bird were, in todays game. All I am saying is that their are no untradeable players in the NBA!!!
