There are certainly LOTS of trade like "Antwan Jamison to Dallas for Nick Van Exel and spare parts" that make you want to punch someone. And the Webber trade as mentioned above. But something like Sleepy Floyd and Joe Barry Carrol for Ralph Sampson really did make sense at the time. Trading Floyd hurt, but that we'd finally get a real center, something we'd needed since forever, made it make sense. And Sampson was coming off a Finals' appeareance and was looking like a beast. So, of course, he comes to the Warriors and immediately gets the crippling knee injury that ruined his career.
Trust, we have a long history of doing dumb shit, but a lot more times than not it's in reaction to getting screwed by fate.
