Not on draft day, but the Celtics traded the No. 1 pick in 1980 to Golden State for the No. 3 pick and Robert Parish. Golden State drafted Jo Barry Carroll No. 1 and the Celtics drafted Kevin McHale.

On June 16, 1986, Katz made two of the most controversial and highly criticized personnel moves in franchise history, trading Moses Malone to Washington and the first overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft (which had been obtained from the San Diego Clippers in a 1979 trade for Joe Bryant) to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In return, the Sixers received Roy Hinson, Jeff Ruland, and Cliff Robinson, none of whom played more than three seasons with the team. Cleveland, meanwhile, turned their acquired pick into future All-Star Brad Daugherty.

Kobe wasn't really traded....i think he specified he wanted to play for the Lakers.....so, its not like the team who traded him had a choice.

They didnt HAVE to trade for Vlade.
They didnt HAVE to draft Kobe.
Kobe went 13th, Peja 14, Nash 15, J Oneal 17.
They could have settled for Nash
