No. 1 1992 Sixers trade Charles Barkley to Suns for Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang, and Tim Perry
It isn’t like Hornacek was a bad player, not the case at all, but he is nowhere near Barkley’s level. Barkley was one of the best players in the game regardless of positions and he carried the Sixers into the post-Erving and Malone era.
Just to put it in perspective, the Sixers slumped to a 26-56 in the 1992-93 season without Barkley while he went on to win the MVP award in 1993 and he led the Suns to the NBA Finals. That right there just goes to show how awful this trade was. It is absolutely the worst trade this franchise has ever made.
