"What If" - Part 3: The best front office moves NEVER made

[Mister B.]

Continuing this hypothetical series, there were a TON of speculations about moves front offices should've changed their futures with, but some reason, didn't go through.

Now this won't be the random, "what if ____ didn't take ____" if they were 10 picks apart; this has to be like a player just missing a team with the next pick, or a trade getting shot down at 0 hour, or something like that. That being said, the greatest what ifs in front office moves....

1) What if the Blazers drafted Jordan instead of Sam Bowie at #2 in the '84 draft. Would he have done in Portland what he did in Chi-City?

2) What if Charlotte held firm and kept that Kobe pick?

3) What if the Milwaukee Bucks won the lawusit to Dr. J's contract, and was able to put him with Kareem AND Big O?

I guess all of us in Philly are HELLA thankful for this, but goddamn that would've been the League's 1st legit superteam had this went down.

What if the Chargers stayed with Drew Brees?

What if Cleveland never fired Bill Belichick so fast?

What if Detroit didn't run off Barry Sanders and/or Megatron?

What if Bob Irsay didn't do the despicable, and move the Colts outta B-More in the middle of the night?

 

[Mister B.]

What if the Dodgers stayed in Brooklyn?

What if Babe Ruth stayed in Boston?

(Not front office related) What if Steve Bertman sat his dumbass down in that Cubs NLCS vs the Mets?

I think Kobe told his agent that he didn't want to play in Charlotte,so he probably wasn't going there anyway. If Jordan goes to Portland him and Drexler either become one of the greatest 1-2 punches ever or they trade Drexler for a Big.

If the colts didn’t move to Indy the Browns would of. That Indy franchise would of had Ray Lewis and that crazy Ravens defense.

What if the Knicks took Dr J instead of wanting cash for the Nets entering the NBA in the merger?
