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?

Report: Jayson Tatum Reveals That He Was Originally Supposed To Have Been Drafted By The Phoenix Suns.

On the show called “All The Smoke,” Jayson Tatum reveals what team he wanted to get drafted by being the Phoenix Suns.

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?

Yet, OKC was interested in doing a trade with the Raptors and even offered a lacklustre trade that the Raptors later declined.
