Who are the best ”throw-away” players that teams have gotten in the NBA?
In most big trades there are extra players moved for salary matching reasons.
For example: In the Luka-AD trade Markieff, Max, Maxi got moved as throw-aways. If Maxi Kleber somehow turned out to average 35-10-10 he would be the throw-away goat.
Is there some examples of some throw-away players absolutely popping off after the trade?
What comes to my mind is SGA, but that does not really count because he was still the main player they received in the trade even if the trade was really about the draft picks.
