Most heartbreaking trade your favorite sports team made?...

For me, it was when the New York Knicks traded David Lee before the start of this season. He always tried his hardest and played his best even though he had the misfortune of being on the team in the Darkest time in franchise history. I mean we finally have a team thats competitive and can make it to the playoffs the second he gets traded its super lame. Hes actually exactly what the team needs right now as well, we get out rebounded almost every single game. Oh well, Hell always have this, which was the single most awesome moment Ive ever seen watching basketball.. Nothing even comes close

Haven't been a sports fan long enough to really experience a trade that killed me. As a Knicks fan you gotta listen to this if you haven't yet.

Dude.... That was so awesome lol.

I guess it was when the Los Angeles Kings traded away Gretzky signifying that they weren't interested in chasing the cup as they sold more than enough seats on a regular basis to make serious bank anyways. But this led to an awesome tenure with the New York Rangers which made me a permanent fan of that franchise despite my usual West Coast dismissal of all things New York.

When the Edmonton Oilers sold Wayne Gretzky to the L.A. Kings :cry:

Trading Paul Lo Duca and Eric Gagne to the Marlins broke my heart. Then I found out they were both named in the Mitchell Report, so I'm glad they didn't stay.

I cant even being to imagine what possessed them to do that... I mean that would have been like if the Bulls traded Jordan in 1992 lol.. What were they thinking?

When the Calgary Flames traded Phaneuf.

He sucks on the Maple Leafs.

Wait until Iginla gets traded, too!

Mwahahaha. :twisted:

I'm not too sure, but there was a time when the Blackhawks traded all their good players away.

So... maybe that era counts for my answer.

Even though it wasn't a trade (or it actually might have been I don't remember), letting Manny Rameriz go was one that effected me the most.

You never know, they are struggling hard.

I'm fairly certain he has a no-trade clause, but he could possibly waive it for a chance to win the Cup before he retires.

He's getting up there in age.

It wasn't a trade. It was when the Dolphins passed up Matt Ryan in the draft. :(mrmusicman247

In favor of a tackle who has yet to play a season in which he wasn't named to the Pro Bowl. Boo-hoo.

You're right, they might trade him...

I think it would have to be a pretty good trade though. Inginla is one of the best Flames.

He's one of the best if not the best.

You know how those pesky GMs work, though. :P

The Devils were struggling, and Langenbrunner allowed to be traded, because it was to the Stars.

Michael Beasley for 2 second round draft picks.NoobisMaxcimus

[QUOTE="NoobisMaxcimus"]Michael Beasley for 2 second round draft picks.Ugalde-

Adam Dunn when he was traded from the Reds. He was criticized for defense, but I will defend him to the end of the earth because he was shuffled way too much. Left field, Right field, third base, and first base. They never utilized him correctly. When he went into training camp last and was first baseman all season then proceeded to play better defense than the all-star first baseman. I would still prefer him in the outfield as he has a cannon for an arm to throw to home. He has been the most consistent hitter in the last 7 years. He doesn't have slumps.ttobba07

40 homeruns and 100 walks like clockwork, yet nobody ever wants him. Blows my mind.

wasnt david lee traded so that the knicks could get stoudmire? They sign and traded lee right? So that means lee wanted to leave. The knicks were able to get something out of him leaving... i think. Randolph and turiaf arent exactly excellent big men though.

probably when luis figo left FCB for Real Madrid.

The Cowboys trading FOR Roy Hands of Stone Williams. :x

Not a trade that has happened yet, but for me it will be when the current Nuggets roster gets blown up. :cry:

Wayne Gretzky --> LA

Worst trade in the history of sports.

The Sabres losing Briere and Drury in the same offseason. They had such an awesome team and when that happened I mostly stopped following hockey.
