Revisiting the Wizards’ disastrous Richard Hamilton - Jerry Stackhouse trade

When Jerry Stackhouse isn’t busy with his work as an assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors, he maintains a pretty active an interesting Twitter account. On Friday he retweeted a tweet that featured this video featuring highlights from a performance in 2001 where he scored 28 points against the Washington Wizards.

What makes the video and the tweet he RTed particularly interesting is that they’re both titled “Jerry Stackhouse Cooks Richard Hamilton for 28 points in 27 minutes”. As you’ll see, the title is fairly accurate:

Of course, the irony here is that Stackhouse and Hamilton were traded for each other less than a year later, as Michael Jordan swapped out the developing Hamilton for Stackhouse, who was in his prime.
