The NBA is filled with trades that haunt franchises, with each team having its own regrets. For the Atlanta Hawks, trading for Dejounte Murray has left them without control over their future first-round picks, trapping them in mediocrity.
The Boston Celtics regret letting Desmond Bane slip away after initially drafting him. The Brooklyn Nets' disastrous trade for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce set them back significantly, while the Charlotte Hornets missed out on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is now an MVP candidate.
Other teams like the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Mavericks also reflect on trades that did not yield the expected results. The trend continues with the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, and Golden State Warriors, showcasing how past decisions can linger for years.
