Before just now I would have bet my life on the fact that the 2015 Trailblazers traded for Arron Afflalo to replace Wes Matthews after he tore his ACL. I 100% swear I remember this being the case.
I was looking at bball ref today and saw the Afflalo trade actually happened a couple of weeks before the Matthews injury. I still can barely believe it.
What are your NBA false memories?
That Vince Carter had deep playoff runs / finals appearances with either the Nets, Mavs or Orlando… he joined all these teams after they had their best runs IIRC!
