What is the riskiest move that had the biggest payoff? (and vice versa) (alien.top)

Every owner/GM needs to gamble for a team to succeed. Hindsight is always 20/20, but the truth is that every transaction is a risky move until proven worth. Freak accidents, team chemistry issues, etc are all factors you can’t measure before a trade/signing. Off the top of my head, rookie Kobe for Vlade was one of the biggest payoffs in NBA history (as for “riskiest” move, that is up for debate)

I'm not a Mavs or Hawks fan, but how do you say "NO ONE" thinks about that trade?!?

I think about it about every time I see Trae Young's name. The Hawks really traded Luka for Young.
