The Chicago Bulls, Portland Trailblazers, and Denver Nuggets may have completed the most underwhelming three-way trade in NBA history.

OK deep breath: The Bulls traded the 39th pick in NBA Draft 2008 (which turned out to be 6-6 guard/forward Sonny Weems from Arkansas) to the Denver Nuggets for Denver’s 2009 regular second-round draft pick. Chicago then acquired the 36th selection in NBA Draft 2008 from the Portland Trail Blazers for Denver’s 2009 regular second-round pick, the New York Knicks’ 2009 regular second-round pick (acquired from New York on Oct. 4, 2005 in the Eddy Curry trade), and Chicago’s 2010 regular second-round draft pick.

That Portland pick turned out to be Omer Asik, a 7-0, 255-pound native of Bursa, Turkey.

All these moves and most of these guys will be catching bench splinters all year.
