    1. and 2. not only affected both those teams, but it also affected the outcome of what the Western conference would look like for the next 2 years. In 2008, if Phoenix had their best team as they should of, I don't think they finish 6th in the west, they would of been a higher seed, maybe even the top seed. Dallas was not much different either, they were a top 3 caliber team in the league before they had traded Devin Harris. I guarantee you that the season the Hornets had in 2008 was a fluke. And 3. is where it is, the 3rd worst, I don't think the current Denver team is better than the 2007 Mavs and Suns.

    5. The Bulls traded a young, established star that put up 20 points and 10 rebounds every night for a rookie out of high school and a career bench player. Set the team back 10 years and they are just now becoming consistently competitive again. Might I also add that Chandler and Skinner are long gone.
