Welcome on, everyone, to a Thursday night edition of Dunkdown and Dunkin Prime.

I want to remind everyone, link is in the show notes to Dan's free edition of his newsletter,

twice a week, his daily dunks, although maybe only once a week while Danny is on paternity leave,

are available for your free consumption.

And, of course, we thank you for subscribing to dunk

done and if you want to get six episodes per week including every hollinger and duncan you can

subscribe to dunkedon prime so let's uh let's do let's do our main thing first here and then we can

get to the news there's nothing too sexy in the news, really. So

what are we trying to discuss here, Dan? We're looking at a history of trades where a team traded

a star for a lesser star. A lot of the trades we see when a team trades a star, it's trading away

for draft picks for young players. But on occasion, they're looking for a proven veteran.

I think we had three of them this year loosely.

There's going to be some gray areas.

I'm sure that's something we'll discuss whether a trade qualifies or not.

Anybody listening, watching on YouTube.

I'd love to see some comments.

We put this list together of trades that seemingly qualified, but I'm sure there are some we missed, or at least that are arguable that we miss, but this year the big one, of course,

the Mavericks trading Luca Donchich for Anthony Davis, also the Kings trading Dier and Fox

for Zach Levine. And I'd argue roughly if we're taking a very wide lens look at this,

I would say the heat trading Jimmy Butler for Andrew Wiggins also qualifies.

Yeah, we can cool that.

I don't know.
