For the KG potential trade I say it was a blessing that the trade didn't go through for the Lakers. Giving up Odom and Bynum would have taken away key players that helped the Lakers win the back to back in 09 and 10. The Pau trade was superior because we have up Kwami Brown and Javaris Crittenton and some picks (Marc Gasol would turn into one of those picks) and the Lakers kept Odom and Bynum. I'm not sure if a KG and Kobe team would have had enough depth to win the title like the Kobe and Gasol teams.

The Pippen-Sonics is missing one element: Scottie reached his true potential with Jordan pushing him in practice to grow into the historically elite top 2-way SF. With this in Seattle, Pippen may have made multiple All-Defensive Teams and some All-Stars, but never had the Alpha Scorer mentality. Certainly, the Sonics would have been better on both ends with Scottie instead of Derrick McKey (also drafted in 1987). The Duncan-Magic may not have necessarily changed Hill's injury issues, but it certainly would have lessened McGrady's figure andl literal weight off of his back to prolong his prime. Duncan's legacy would have developed a more accurate narrative with him firmly as the elite rim-protecting CENTER (not PF) and post scorer he played in actuality. The Duncan-Kobe battles would have made better storylines taking place in the NBA Finals rather than the Western Conference Finals (plus Shaq going against his former team). The MJ-Drexler-Hakeem trio would have been amazing. Certainly, Jordan's individual accomplishments may have been a bit dinged (as well as Olajuwon's), but Drexler likely would have had to make the greatest individual sacrifice to make it happen. However, he was one year senior to the others so this is probably the biggest potential roadblock from him becoming the more scoring-minded Pippen he ultimately became in Portland.

The one that pops into my mind is the Cavs deciding they needed to hold on to JJ Hickson (although they now say the Suns nixed the deal), leading to not getting Amar'e Stoudemire from the Suns. If the Cavs make that trade, resign Stoudemire, you can imagine LeBron resigning and perhaps talking Wade into coming to Cleveland the following off season. This would be after the 2010 playoffs where the front line is Shaq, STAT, and LeBron.

4:40 Wow I’ve never heard this story before. That’s actually insane. My family are Celtics fans. I grew up rooting for them but I’m not a Celtics fan at heart but regardless I enjoy my family being happy so I rooted for them. Even I think KG should’ve just bit the bullet and signed with the lakers because of how well Kobe and his playstyles mash. I can imagine the embarrassment and possibly disrespect that KG must’ve felt blowing him up with zero effort put back into the partnership but Kobe being Kobe it could go both ways as in; he wants championships and that’s *CHAMPIONSHIPS*. More guaranteed imo than the “Heatles” (and Lebron is my favorite of all time). So I imagine him kicking himself in the ass realizing the opportunity to land KG had passed him by in the blink of in eye. BUT on the other hand Kobe wants championships but he wanted to prove he *DIDNT* need Shaq. Bringing KG in would absolutely soften the accomplishment over him doing it himself so I personally feel 50/50 with those both being plausible. Tbh, the more I think of it the more I feel like it’s more like 30/70 in favor of him wanting to prove a point but unfortunately if it hasn’t been expressed previously then we won’t ever know. Just imagining the havoc they would’ve generated. Rest in peace, Kobe.

I feel like if KG would’ve played with Kobe it probably would hurt Kobe‘s Legacy. One of the biggest knocks on Kobe’s career after Shaq left was he needed a superstar to play alongside to win a championship and if he played with KG, that would just further the narrative. We all know KG is better than Pau, numerous of people will always say Kobe won two titles with a teammate who wasn’t on the 75th anniversary team and that’s a flex as well.

what made KG got to Boston instead of LA is actually pretty easy to trace... it was Celtic friendship. McHale was helping out his old ball club and his old friend danny ainge. Pure and simple. Nothing else. BTW the sonics DID have a lengthy defensive wing in the 90s, Derrick McKey. He stayed there through their 63 win WCF appearance in 93 and then was swapped for Schrempf. He wasn't a ball handler though. Good to know Duncan is whipped btw. And houston was not taking Jordan if they got clyde. If anything the Houston superteam from 97-98 of Clyde, Barkley and Hakeem would have happened way back in 84.

To be fair, Grant Hill's injury was extremely and poorly mishandled. He had an ankle injury. Not a torn ACL, or Achilles injury. The medical team gave him the greenlight to play and it was too soon. Grant Hill talked about this. Had they waited for him to fully heal, Grant Hill could have continued to live out the peak of his career. Granted, I am not sure how durable he would have been from that point. Very few players are as durable as MJ and LeBron. Penny Hardaway is another big What If.

That lakers squad would’ve cemented KG Pau and Kobe as the best big 3 of all time if they could get it done

I don’t understand why the Sonics helped the Bulls. Sonics could’ve taken Polynice with the 5th pick outright.

MJ and Hakeem omg two of the greatest in their positions. I could easily see 10 championships even with those 2 alone.

The Orlando Big 3 is a myth: in 2000 free agency, the Magic had room for two max contracts, which were intended for Grant Hill and Tim Duncan. The Orlando Magic signed McGrady only after Duncan signed back with the Spurs. It was never going to be a "big three" scenario. The misconception started when Grant Hill recalled the Doc Rivers incident during an episode of "The Jump": McGrady was in the same studio and reacted to it as a missed opportunity. Grant Hill, class acting, didn't point out that T-Mac wasn't in the picture at that time. Reality is T-Mac was Orlando's backup plan.

and it would have failed either way since hill was the problem in these scenarios.

Timmy did just fine without them. The 2000's Spurs was the beginning of a dynasty. 5x time NBA champion, 3x finals Mvp's, the best power forward of all time. I believe he's also the only player to win a championship in 3 different decades. So he was pretty damn good.

Man I think about that til this day myself. What if Kobe, Gasol, and KG were on the lakers together from 2008-on? They would have three-peated at minimum again with both Pau and KG winning 3 rings each and Kobe at least matching MJ for 6. Seeing that Bynum became a bust shortly after the rings he got, and how well Pau played the 5 anyway, would've been a great fit. Then Tim Duncan playing on the Magic would've been crazy, especially with T-Mac and Grant Hill. He would've been a huge help defensively since T-Mac and Grant Hill weren't great defenders. Oh what could've been. Stupid doc Rivers. I also wonder what it would've been like had Chris Paul been able to join the Lakers in 2011 with Pau and Kobe too. Would've been a crazy 1-2-5 punch. As much as I respected David Stern as a commissioner, that was a stupid move on his part.

If KG actually went to the Lakers then we might have gotten a Kobe vs Lebron in the finals...

I always thought the phrase 'it's a game of inches' applied to football. An inch can be the difference on a fourth down, where crossing the 10-yard marker could completely change the game. So, saying the NBA is a game of inches seems like utter bullshit to me.

I’m actually happy for Hakeem’s sake that he didn’t end up Jordan’s teammate even if hypothetically they had won eight or nine championships. Because I feel like they would do to Hakeem what they did to Scottie by diminishing how great he was to glorify Jordan’s legacy. Even if Hakeem only ended up with two rings, the way he played leading to those two rings has him a top 10 player and had he won 8 or more second fiddle to Jordan, they likely wouldn’t rank him as high.

i mean hakeem's rings now are given the asterisk that jordan was retired and just returning and that's why he won, so his legacy was affected either way.

Another 1987 missed opportunity (or two) has to do with the Phoenix Suns. For starters, they finished second in the draft lottery (just missing David Robinson). Imagine Robinson in 1990 with KJ, Chambers, and Majerle. Also, the Suns could have had Scottie Pippen themselves. Either The Admiral or Pippen may have been the missing piece to a dynasty.
