Larry
Johnson (UNLV)
Kenny Anderson (Georgia
Tech)
After being drafted as a junior, he was immediately traded to
Golden State for Mitch Richmond and a 2nd round draft pick. He came to
the Heat before the 1994 season for Rony Seikaly and the rights to Pedrag
Danilovic. On February 22, 1996 he was traded back to the Sacramento
Kings along with Kevin Gamble for Walt Williams and Tyrone Corbin.
He has yet to realize his potential in the NBA. Give him a few more years
and he could either blossom into an all around player such as Scottie
Pippen, or remain a consistent work horse for the team. He was the 3rd
leading vote getter for the ROY and was a member of the All-Rookie First
Team. In college he was a Unanimous first team All-American in 1991, as
well as the Big East Player of the Year at Syracuse. In 1990 he was named
to the third team in 1990 NABC. Owens signed a three year deal to join
the Sonics worth six million dollars, on January 22, 1999. On August 13,
1999, Philadelphia traded Harvey Grant and Anthony Parker to Orlando for
Billy Owens. Then, on February 16, 2000 in a three team deal,
Philadelphia traded Larry Hughes, Billy
Owens, and Bruce Bowen and received Toni Kukoc; Golden State traded John
Starks and a 1st round draft pick and received Larry Hughes and Billy
Owens; and Chicago traded Toni Kukoc and received John Starks, Bruce
Bowen, and a 1st round draft pick. On August 22, 2000 Detroit traded
Lindsey Hunter to Milwaukee for Billy Owens.
Dikembe Mutombo (Georgetown)
He was a consensus second team
All-American as a senior at Michigan State in 1991 that translated into a
berth on the All-Rookie First Team. The Sporting news named him to their
First Team All-American for TWO years, though. He left school as their
all-time leading scorer. He was a highly regarded prospect who joined
Dream Team II early in his career. While still in Miami, he was voted the
Heat MVP by the fans for the 1992-93 season. He was traded to the
Altlanta Hawks on 11/7/94 along with Grant Long and a 2nd round pick for
Kevin Willis and a first round pick. He inked a lucrative 7 year contract
for 45 million dollars to stay with the Hawks. He was the Hawks leading
scorer in 1997. Smith finally won a spot on the all-star team in 1998 as
a reserve. He was also awarded the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in
1998. On August 3, 1999 Steve was traded to Portland for Isiah Rider and
Jim Jackson. Steve was named to the Men's USA Basketball 2000 Olympic
Team. On July 24, 2001 San Antonio traded Derek Anderson and Steve Kerr
to Portland for Steve Smith. Steve was named the recipient of the 2002
Sportsman of the Year Award. The new Charlotte Bobcats signed Steve Smith for their inaugural 2004-2005 season to be a veteran presence for all the young 'uns. On February 24, 2005, Charlotte traded Steve Smith to Miami for Malik Allen and cash.
This tough 7-2, 295 pound Australian was a
two-time All-WAC First-Team selection. He finished his college career
ranked eighth in all-time blocks in the NCAA. His father played
Australian Rules Football. Luc played for the Australian team in both the
1988 and the 1992 Olympics. He became the first Australian to ever play
in the NBA. Luc came over to Chicago in a deal for Stacey king
(2/23/94) where he has become the starter in a center by committee
arrangement. He won his first NBA Championship with the Bulls in 1996.
He occasionally shows a scorer's flair. Luc was traded to the Suns for
Mark Bryant, Martin Mursepp and Bubba Well on January 21, 1999 after
being re-signed to a contract extension. He retired following the
2000-01 season.
This 6'8'' small forward/big guard was a 1991
consensus second team All-American and a first team All-American (AP). He
was the top defensive player in the country in his last 3 seasons in
college. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. On March 23,
1992 against the Warriors, Stacey scored the NBA's 6 millionth point.
Augmon was traded with Grant Long to the Detroit Pistons prior to the
1996-97 season for draft picks. On January 24,1997, Stacey was traded to
the Portland TrailBlazers for Aaaron McKie, Randolph Childress and Reggie
Jordan. It was a good situation for Augmon moving to the Rose City
because he had not done well under Collins, never getting any important
minutes. On July 25, 2001 Charlotte signed Stacey Augmon to a 2 year,
$4.2 million contract. On August 2, 2004, Orlando signed Augmon to a one year, minimum contract with and option for the second year.
Terrell made his first trip to
the all-star game in 1996. He followed that performance with another
visit in 1997. He was slowly developing in the shadow of Mark Price, and
then took over the team, blossoming into an all-star. In his first 3
seasons he averaged 20 minutes a game behind Mark Price, Gerald Wilkins
and Craig Ehlo. In 1994-1995 he led his team in assists during Price's
injury plagued season. This six foot guard was drafted as a junior out of
Oregon after being named the Pac-10 Player of the Year. He average 26.6
points that year. Although he had an unspectacular rookie campaign, he
was still named to the All-Rookie Second Team after being the only Cav to
play in all 82 games. Brandon opened a Barber Shop in his hometown of
Portland Oregon to help provide jobs and economic growth in his community.
Folllowing the 1997 season, Brandon was awarded the NBA Sportsmanship
Award. Joe Dumars won the first ever award in
1996. On September 25th, Seattle traded Shawn Kemp; Milwaukee traded Vin
Baker and Sherman Douglas; and Cleveland traded Terrell Brandon, Tyrone
Hill, and a 1998 1st round draft pick (top 10 protected). Seattle
received Baker; Milwaukee received Brandon, Hill, and the draft pick; and
Cleveland received Kemp and Douglas. So Terrell ended up in Milwaukee's
young back court pairing with Ray Allen. He didn't stay too long as he
was traded in a huge deal that brough Sam Cassel to town. Brandon went to
Minnesota and Stephon Marbury to the Nets. The T-Wolves locked Brandon
up in a six year contract starting in 1999-2000 for 60 million dollars. On July 23, 2003, the injured and all-but-retired Brandon was traded to the Hawks in a cap clearing move. The Four Team deal sent Latrell Sprewell (from New York) to the T-Wolves, Marc Jackson (from Minnesota) and Glenn Robinson (from Atlanta) to the Sixers, Terrell Brandon (from Minnesota) and Randy Holcomb and a future #1 pick (both from the Sixers), and Van Horn ( from Philadelphia) to the Knicks.
He spent several
years waiting in the wings for the Knicks, then was made available to be
the first pick in the expansion draft by the Vancouver Grizzlies. The
Knicks gave up on his potential, seeing that his attitude problems offset
his talent. He did well for the expansion team in his first season with
them, leading the team in scoring and assists, justifying his position as
the first pick in the expansion draft. He seemed to be behaving himself
in Vancouver after leaving the Big Apple, though. On 10-9-97, Seattle
signed Greg to a one year deal. He then signed a two year deal worth
2.1 million dollars to play in Portland on 1-22-99. On July 20, 2001 Portland traded Greg Anthony to Chicago for a conditional 2002 2nd
round draft pick. On March 1, 2002, he was waived by the Bulls, but
quickly signed as a free agent by the Milwaukee Bucks on 3/5/02. He retired following that season.

14. Seattle: Rich King (Nebraska)
15. Atlanta: Anthony Avent (Seton Hall)
16. Golden State: Chris Gatling (Old Dominion)
Chris
Gatling was twice the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year while at Old
Dominion. As a senior he averaged better than 21 points and 11 rebounds,
never letting his college scoring average dip below 20 a game. He was
taken by the Warriors with the 16th pick in the draft. He had a solid
career with the Warriors, but was traded, along with Tim Hardaway, to the
Heat for Bimbo Coles and Kevin Willis in February of 1996. He was not
part of Riley's plans, so he hooked up with Dallas, signing as a free
agent in the off season. Gatling has been a superior bench player, who
could win the Sixth Man of the Year Award. He was also the most solid
Maverick, and his selection to the 1997 All-Star Team proves it. He has
not just come out of the blue, though. In 1995 he led the league in field
goal percentage with an amazing 0.633. In college he had an astounding
.606 FG Percentage, that ranks among the best of all time, and is the
highest in Sun Belt Conference history. At 6-10, Chris led the Warriors
in rebounding in 1995 with 7.6 per game. Chris has a synthetic plate in
his head that he acquired via an accident in 1985 when he fell off the
hood of a van. He is now highly recognizable by his head bands that he
wears. Dallas traded Chris Gatling, Jim Jackson, Eric Montross, George
McCloud, and Sam Cassell to New Jersey for Shawn Bradley, Robert Pack,
Khalid Reeves, and Ed O'Bannon. Then on August 19, 1999, he moved again
when Milwaukee traded Chris Gatling and Armon Gilliam to Orlando for
Danny Manning and Dale Ellis. On January 31, 2000 Chris was traded
again...this time Orlando traded Tariq Abdul-Wahad, Chris Gatling, a 1st
round draft pick, and $3 million to Denver for Chauncey Billups, Ron
Mercer, and Johnny Taylor. The draft pick is the Denver pick that was
sent to Orlando as part of the January 1999 Keon Clark-Johnny Taylor
trade. On August 30, 2000 in a three team trade, Portland traded away Brian Grant and Gary Grant and received Shawn Kemp; Miami traded away Chris Gatling, Clarence
Weatherspoon, a conditional 1st round draft pick, and cash and received
Brian Grant; and Cleveland traded away Shawn Kemp and received Chris
Gatling, Clarence Weatherspoon, Gary Grant, a conditional 1st round
draft pick, and cash. Once again he was traded, this time back to Miami
on October 26, 2001. In a sign-and-trade, 3 team deal, Cleveland
re-signed Chris Gatling to a 3 year, about $8 million contract and traded him away and received
Ricky Davis and Brian Skinner. Miami traded away Don MacLean, Ricky
Davis, and cash and received Chris Gatling. Toronto traded away Brian
Skinner and received Don MacLean and cash.

that he nailed down the starting job. At 6-7, 240 pounds, he gets most
of his minutes at small forward, but also plays PF and SG. A native of
Toronto, Rick went to school at UNC where he played in all games for four
years to tie a school record 140 consecutive and total appearances. He
also played in the 1991 Final Four. After a number of solid seasons in

dollars in 1999 to stay in LA, then signed a six year deal starting in
1999-2000 worth 25 million dollars. He was named to the All-Interview Second Team in 2004. On August 6, 2004, Boston traded Chris Mihm Chucky Atkins and
