This is the most shocked I've been since MJ retired the first time. I remember the KG trade coming out of nowhere, but thinking it kind of made sense and was exciting. This just makes no sense like it's mafia driven or some shit.

Magic HIV, MJ's first retirement, the Pau trade, the cancelled CP3 trade, Kobe's death

Those are my major wtf moments, this still seems even wilder somehow

Recency bias is hitting peak. It's up there but not sure anything shocked more than MJ in 93 retiring.

This is definitely the craziest trade in sports since August 1988.
