Luka Doncic
Late on Saturday, Luka Doncic joined a stunning list of NBA superstars that have been traded. The Doncic trade sent shockwaves through the NBA world, but he's far from the first MVP-caliber player to be traded.
Kobe Bryant
Yes, Kobe Bryant spent his entire playing career with the Los Angeles Lakers, but Bean was not drafted by them. The Charlotte Hornets drafted Bryant 13th overall, trading him to the Lakers for center Vlade Divac.
Allen Iverson
Allen Iverson's thorny persona was tailor-made for the Philadelphia 76ers. Still, he eventually yielded the Sixers a monster haul when he was traded to the Denver Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony
Carmelo Anthony was in his eighth professional season with the Nuggets before he was traded to the New York Knicks. His reign in the Big Apple lasted six and a half seasons before he was traded again. In total, Melo's career spanned 19 seasons with six different teams.
Shaquille O'Neal
Shaquille O'Neal was an ornery superstar before he was known as an affable host and media personality. Throughout his career, Shaq was traded on multiple occasions, most famously away from the Lakers.
Kevin Durant
Unlike many others on this list, Kevin Durant played nice in the sandbox early in his career. It wasn't until things went sideways with the Brooklyn Nets that he requested a trade to the Phoenix Suns.
James Harden
James Harden reserves the right to request a trade at any point. Mid-season, after the trade deadline, at the free-throw line, Harden could decide at any moment that he'd like a fresh start.
Russell Westbrook
Like his former teammate, James Harden, Russell Westbrook has been prone to mercurial shifts throughout his career. The Triple-Double King has been dealt on a few occasions, also negotiating a buy-out after his trade to the Utah Jazz a few years ago.
Vince Carter
A young Vince Carter's tenure with the Toronto Raptors came to an unceremonious conclusion when he was traded to the New Jersey Nets. Carter would become the elder statesman of the NBA before retiring at the end of the 2019-20 season.
Dwayne Wade
Dwayne Wade was the consummate professional. He nearly played his entire career before getting traded. It wasn't until the 2017-18 trade deadline that he was reunited with the Miami Heat.
