let's just swap teams (answered)

[Dr. Duran Duran]

Before the 18 player trade involving Herschel Walker in 1989, what trade previously held the record for most players? I'm looking for three criteria: number of players involved, players/draft choices involved and the year it took place. Also, the answer could be one of two different trades since the previous record was a tie between two trades. I'm looking for the most recent of the two trades.
