But, I still think the Bulls, with MJ's will to win, would have toppled them. And, who would have the Bulls gotten in return for Pippen? Kemp, Payton? Shrempt? I don’t know the particulars of that potential deal but I don’t think they were going to give up any of their stars. Just a typical 70 cents on the dollar superstar trade with draft picks and young role players. That Sonics team could have been one of the best ever. Imagine a defense led by Payton and Pippen.

BroncoBruin Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Nevermind, it was a Kemp for Pippen trade and their plan was to sign Horace Grant in FA. That team definitely wins at least one title. And Shawn Kemp would have driven MJ crazy. Edited April 20, 2020 by BroncoBruin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy’s incredible. Wish he had stayed. I guess weather/home trumps money/winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, whichever team he went to was going to be a title contender since the Clippers thing was contingent on landing Paul George. I think the Clippers thing offered the best of all worlds. Home, weather, opportunity to win and relative anonymity in a Lakers town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 100% a better chance to win a title with the Raps over the Clips. Better coach, better long term roster, better travel schedule.

Clippers were the preseason favorites to win the title, Lakers would have been Golden State with KD-esque favorites with Kawhi, Raptors would have been first or second to the Lakers. No bad choice, except he didn’t want to live in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they had would they have been the best dynasty of any sport? I always forget about hockey teams, I just don't know that much about hockey other than the Oilers and Canadiens seem to carry the torch of having the best teams. I think the Bulls win in 94 with MJ since Horace is still there. However, Houston gives them a tough series. They played the Bulls tough in the early-90's. In 1995, it depends on where Grant goes. If he still leaves, Chicago probably doesn't even make the Finals. If not, I still think that the Rockets could beat them with Drexler. After that, it depends on where Rodman goes. The Bulls were better off in the late-90's with him. If they don't have Dennis, I don't see an eight-peat.

Oh, I don’t wanna make it seem like he shouldn’t have made the decision he did, because he’s allowed to do whatever he wants, value whatever he wants, and that’s awesome. But his title chances would’ve been better over his next (now current) contract had he stuck around in Toronto. While making more money.

I can't imagine what team with Kemp and Jordan would have looked like...well actually it would have been to watch, but could they have worked together like Jordan and Pippen did?

AnAngryAmerican Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Anyone hear about the cat fight between Michael Lombardi and Boomer Esiason? Being a part-time journalist I follow these things more closely than most. The thing is that both are total jerks and I cannot stand either, never have. But what's funny is that what Lombardi, a noted Patriots apologist, is doing here is attempting to help his buddy Belichick. Lombardi's thinking is that if he can damage Tua's stock, with inside information from Lombardi/Belichick mutual friend Nick Saban (another whose face I wouldn't piss on if his hair was on fire), he can fall to a spot in the draft where Belichick might be able to trade up and snag him.

jsthomp2007 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 You know that thing you do with a balloon when you rub it on your head and the static electricity causes the balloon to stick to your head. Because of COVID I found myself doing the same thing to my ball hair. Kind of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s still 10 players, but you can activate any two of them to play each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
