Phil Hubbard Drops 20 in Final Pistons Game (swapped for Laimbeer immediately after)
February 16, 1982 - Selected 15th overall out of the University of Michigan in the 1979 NBA Draft, Phil Hubbard spent two-and-a-half years with the Detroit Pistons, averaging 11.6 points and 6 rebounds. Then, following a 20-point performance in a 111-109 win over the Houston Rockets, Hubbard was summarily dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers for some rando named Bill Laimbeer.At that point in time, Laimbeer had spent his rookie year overseas and was showing a modicum of promise in Ohio, averaging 6.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in limited minutes at the time of the deal.
Ultimately, Laimbeer became a cornerstone of a franchise that'd go on to make three consecutive Finals appearances and win two NBA championships by the end of the decade.
Hubbard, meanwhile, enjoyed a 10-year NBA career, never leaving town once joining the Cavs. Statistically peaking in 1985 when he averaged close to 16 points under George Karl, Hubbard also finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting the year prior. He retired in 1989.
