Hall of Fame players traded for each other

[L.Kizzle]

This came to my mind watching the recent Lakers-Dallas game.

I actually found an entire list online.

1956 (Bos) Cliff Hagan & Ed Macauley for (Stl)Bill Russell (draft day trade)
1968 (Nyn) Walt Bellamy for (Det) Dave DeBusschere
1975 (Pho) Charlie Scott for (Bos) Paul Westphal
1978 (Den) Bobby Jones for (Phi) George McGinnis
1978 (LAL) Adrian Dantley for (Uta) Spencer Haywood
1980 (Ind) Alex English for (Den) George McGinnis
1980 (Sea) Dennis Johnson for (Pho) Paul Westphal
1996 (LAL) Vlade Divac for (Cha) Kobe Bryant (draft day trade)
1998 (Sac) Mitch Richmond for (Was) Chris Webber
2000 (Det) Grant Hill for (Orl) Ben Wallace
2001 (Phi) Toni Kukuc for (Atl) Dikembe Mutombo
2003 (Mil) Ray Allen for (Sea) Gary Payton
2004 (Njn) Alonzo Mourning for (Tor) Vince Carter
2008 (Den) Allen Iverson for (Det) Chauncey Billups
2009 (Pho) Shaquille O'Neal for (Cle) Ben Wallace

Future
2019 (Hou) Chris Paul for (Okc) Russell Westbrook
2025 (Dal) Luka Doncic for (LaL) Anthony Davis

Two of these trades worked immediately, Russell to Boston and the Scott/Westphal swap. All four team made the Finals.
Some I don't even remember. I thought Shaq signed to Cleveland as a free agent, did not remember at all he was traded for Ben Wallace.

I suggested Luka for Giannis

and/or Ant for Giannis

Thank goodness, no one of the brass of those teams followed my lead advise.
