An amazing development in the NBA


-ESPN.com reports that the Toronto Raptor's traded sharpshooter Jason Kapono to the Philadelaphia 76ers for Reggie Evans. An amazing one-player trade. Something of a dying art these days in the world of professional sports.

Every trade that seems to happen these days includes multiple players and cash, cows, oil fields and the kitchen sink. It's like a game of "How Much Can We Move Out?"
One player trades are a something you don't see everyday, with no strings attached.
One of the fairest comparison comes from Will Ferrell in Semi-Pro when his ABA team traded a washing machine to the Kentucky Colonels for Woody Harrelson. We laughed, but hey a kid got traded for maple bats a few years ago, and in the end, unfortunately, the bats got the better end of the deal.

Take pride Jason and Reggie, your part of a dying breed. Well maybe not you so much, Evans, have fun in the cold, eventually it'll numb that losing feeling.
