Rockets acquire: PF Charles Barkley
This trade and its place in history will always be a little controversial. In fact, I’ve even seen it on several “worst trade” lists, and on the surface, that’s easy to understand.
At the time the Houston Rockets dealt Cassell and Horry to the Suns, the duo were undoubtedly team fan favorites who had major roles in the back-to-back title years. They also both went on to success with other teams, with Horry famously winning five more titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs and Cassell going on to earn another title with the Boston Celtics along with an All-Star appearance and a Second-Team All NBA selection during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
