The LA Clippers Trading the Kyrie Pick Brought Us Here

In February of 2011, the Clippers made a trade that has been held up for a long time as one of those “you think you have it bad?!? My team traded Kyrie Irving for Mo Williams.”

There was a bit more to it than that, of course. Baron Davis was on the third year of his 5 year, 65 million dollar contract, and the Clips wanted to get off of that to free some cap space (because we were a huge free agent destination under Donald Sterling, right?)

To make that happen, the Cavs demanded an unprotected first round pick in the next draft, so the total trade was Baron Davis and an unprotected pick for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon.
