The Orioles giving away Curt Schilling, Steve Finley, and Pete Harnisch for Glenn Davis cost the Orioles dearly.

Barcelona signing Coutinho. It’s not the only reason but it’s a big part of the reason why one of the biggest teams in the world is currently about five Euros on the right side of bankruptcy.

On August 5, 1976, the Los Angeles Lakers acquired 1977, 1978 and 1979 first-round picks, and a 1980 second-round pick from the New Orleans Jazz in exchange for a 1978 first-round pick and a 1977 second-round pick. This trade was arranged as compensation when the Jazz signed Gail Goodrich on July 19, 1976. The Lakers used the pick in 1979 to draft Magic Johnson.

Vince Carter for Alonzo Mourning, Eric Williams, Aaron Williams and two draft picks.
Set this franchise back a good 10 years.

Obvious answer but the Edmonton Oilers trading away Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings is the answer for the NHL

Obvious answer but the Edmonton Oilers trading away Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings is the answer for the NHL As much as it is true, people do seem to forget they did win another stanley cup shortly after this in 1990. So that alleviates the burden a bit, knowing Gretzky didn't post Edmonton.

So that alleviates the burden a bit, knowing Gretzky didn't post Edmonton. Cause they still had a Stanley cup roster, like Gretzky is the GOAT but he wasn't playing basketball where being the best player in the world is all a team needs to compete and win. The trade haunts them because they did it to dump salary sure they won another cup but imagine all the cups they should have at least competeted for if they still had Gretzky. When you make moves like that other players and people in the industry are gonna notice and not want to be part of something that doesn't have winning it all as the priority. Like ask oilers fans that cup in 90 ain't keeping them warm at all. And my reading comprehension may not be great but if im reading what you said correctly he did indeed lift Lord Stanley's cup again after Edmonton
