August 8th, 2011 Trade between Oakland & Houston

[Deleted]

Thought I'd bring this trade back up, as I feel it was one of the best trades in the history of the league.

Oakland's post of the trade

OAK gives:
2013 1st Rd. (most likely 32nd pick)

HOU gives:
2013 1st Rd.

I accept because I like earlier picks better than later ones

Pretty confident words there sir.
How ya feeling now?

Should be fun Oakland. Good Luck sir.
I hope we meet up in the playoffs to decide the end result here.

Neither of us have the picks from this deal any more, but it's bragging right still, right?

I remember this trade all too well. At the time I thought, no way Texans turn his team around that fast! Honestly thought it would be another year or two. Also loved the immediate display of competitiveness displayed through this future trade as well.

Guess what? We're coming down the stretch!!!

Job well done by both teams

Absolutely! There's no way I have forgotten. It was really more about bragging rights than anything else anyways right?
