Macauley Culled

Ed Macauley, one of the other guys in one of the most significant trades in sports history, has died at the age of 83. On April 29, 1956 Macauley and the rights to Cliff Hagan were traded by the Boston Celtics to the St. Louis Hawks for the rights to Bill Russell. All 3 players involved in the trade ended up in the Hall of Fame, and the Hawks and Celtics split the next two NBA titles, but the trade still has a Manhattan for beads feel to it. The Celtics won 11 titles with Russell. The Hawks moved to Atlanta.
