On August 3rd, 2000, the Detroit Pistons sent Grant Hill to the Orlando Magic in a sign-and-trade deal that would bring back Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace. Hill, a five-time All-Star, was considered the best player in that trade, and due to the plethora of unknowns, whoever gains the best player is considered the “winner” when a trade happens.
Hindsight is always 20/20, and it’s now hard to argue that Orlando won the trade.
