For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

    Wolves needed to trade down from the #1 pick because Ant was going to be Wiggins 2.0.

    We should make a deal with Atlanta, get a promising young wing in Cam Reddish and be able to grab up the sleeper of the draft, Killian Hayes, with Atlanta’s pick.

    I wanted to trade Anthony Edwards for Cam Reddish and Killian Hayes.

    Pretty sure I said Jimmy would never take us to the Finals when he was traded here.

    I vastly overprojected on D Rose’s career but I don’t know if injuries should count.

      he went from ROY > all star > MVP within his 1st 3 seasons, improving his team performance each year.

      it was impossible not to overproject his career, it was such a tremendous trajectory

        The biggest what if in NBA history. Those Bulls won 60 games as well. He revived the franchise.

          One of the biggest, I guess. He still would be going against a prime Lebron era… so, it’s not like his squad was a guaranteed chip.

          Way bigger what-ifs in my opinion.

      Honestly it was reasonable at the time. Him and Arvydas Sabonis are the greatest NBA what ifs of all time in my opinion

          Greg Oden was never going to work out. Headcase. For the others, that’s true - there are other great what ifs in NBA history, believe it or not

    Forget the trade price, I thought Gobert+Towns+Ant would have been a devastating trio defensively and offensively.
