Prompt 1

I actually think it's quite tough to pinpoint super bad trades in this league because we don't have bloodthirsty pundits and toxic fanbases who are constantly out there searching for screw-ups and reminding us endlessly of the mistakes that someone made. Sure, there sometimes are comments when a trade happens, calling it a rip-off or pointing out how one side got much better value than the other, but usually this is where it ends. There rarely is any follow up a year or multiple years down the road, when the full effects of a trade are actually visible and can be judged somewhat objectively and independently. This leads to a lot of the bad trades (and bad draft picks, for that matter), to simply fizzle out and be forgotten. Especially when one of the players involved goes inactive, they hardly ever go out with a bang, they usually just fade away over time.
