NBA History: In The 1988 NBA Season, The Los Angeles Clippers Attempted To Trade For Michael Jordan. If This Trade Happened, Would Jordan Be Regarded As The GOAT?

In the 1983-84 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers attempted to trade up in the draft in hopes of drafting Micheal Jordan. However, the Bulls refused to accept any offers and instead drafted Michael Jordan, who is now arguably the greatest player in NBA history. Fast forward to 1988, the Clippers attempt to trade for Jordan but fail again due to the Bulls realizing how important Jordan was to their franchise. The Clippers tried and failed twice, which begs the question, what if Michael Jordan got drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers?

Orlando Magic, More Like The Orlando Tragic!

The Orlando Magic have had some incredible players to play for their organization. These players include Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill, and Dwight Howard. However, when dissecting this organization from decade to decade, you will start to realize that this team had the potential to be one of the greatest franchises in NBA history; however, would miserably fail due to a common cause.

What could Penny and Shaq have accomplished if they played longer together?

In the 1996 NBA off-season, Shaquille O’Neal would shock the world and leave Orlando to join Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. In the following season, Penny Hardaway would suffer a season-ending injury that would jeopardize his entire career. Shaq and Penny only played four seasons together and, in the process, created one of the biggest and prominent NBA questions of all-time. If Shaquille O’Neal never left and if Penny Hardaway never got injured, would the Orlando Magic have one of the greatest duos in NBA history?

If the Boston Celtics didn’t trade down and if the Phoenix Suns drafted Tatum instead, would the Phoenix Suns be a top team in the Western Conference?
