Biography
Robert DeShaun "Tractor" Traylor was an American professional basketball player. He got his nickname because of his hulking frame. Traylor was the sixth pick in the 1998 NBA draft and played seven seasons in the league (from 1998–1999 through 2004–2005). He averaged 4.8 points per game, mainly as a reserve center and forward.
NBA career
In the 1998 NBA draft, Traylor was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the first round (with the sixth pick), then traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for Pat Garrity and German prospect Dirk Nowitzki. Landon Buford of Sports Illustrated ranked this trade as one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history, while Dave Zirin of The Nation ranked it the most lopsided trade in NBA history. Nowitzki "would go on to have a distinguished 21-year career where he was an All-Star 14 times, a member of the All-NBA team 12 times, a league and Finals MVP, and an NBA champion in 2011", while Traylor struggled in the NBA. (In addition, Garrity was traded to Phoenix by the Mavericks for future Hall of Famer Steve Nash).
In the 2005 offseason, Traylor had surgery on his aorta. He then signed on with the New Jersey Nets for the 2005–06 NBA season, but—due to his failing a physical examination—the deal was scrapped. Traylor battled weight problems throughout his career. During seven NBA seasons, Traylor played for the Bucks, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets. He averaged 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.
