THE STORY
In July 2013, the New York Knicks acquired center Andrea Bargnani from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Steve Novak, Marcus Camby, Quentin Richardson, a 2016 first-round pick, and two second-round picks. Bargnani's tenure with the Knicks was marked by injuries and underperformance, contributing to the team's failure to make the playoffs that season. The trade is often cited as a significant misstep in Knicks' management history.
