Failed Trade Almost Sent Retired MVP To Los Angeles Lakers

Charles Barkley is one of the best 25 players in NBA history.

The Basketball Hall of Famer started out his pro career playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Earlier this year, Barkley revealed that a failed trade nearly sent him from the 76ers to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Barkley (via Bleacher Report) : "I got traded to the Lakers.

True story.

I get a call one morning from my agent...

I got traded to the Lakers...

Bout time.

I can't wait...

My agent calls me.

The 6ers pulled out the deal.

We had a game that night...

I was so mad...

That's the weirdest trade story I've been involved in.".
