After trading Eddy Curry to the New York Knicks before the 2005 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls needed a low post scoring power forward. As luck would have it, Chicago had the second pick in the draft that year due to that same trade with the Knicks. They wisely took power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, which looked like a brilliant move at the moment.

But shortly after, they traded Aldridge to the Portland Trail Blazers in return for Tyrus Thomas. Aldridge became an All-Star, and instead Chicago was stuck with Thomas who started only 129 games over his incredibly disappointing 9 year NBA career.
