I'm willing to give WC a little more for the trade.
It's not as lopsided as you are making it out to be. Rodman and Payton have a combined 6 rings together. Malone and Stockton have none. Rodman and Gary have a combined 16x all defensive first teams.
Also, Barkley was a lot closer to Malone than is being portrayed here. It was a debate back then for a reason. Same with Payton and Stockton. Malone and Stockton just ended up with a lot more stats due to the lengths of their careers.
Also, Malone and Stockton aren't locks to win this thing. I don't think they have ever been part of the winning team on here.
I don't know why Thee and Spy are so opposed to it.
