You gotta take the injuries with it cuz Grant Hll got injured the prior season in Detroit then played on a broken foot in the playoffs which made the situation horribly worse. HOWEVER, Duncan being there puts less tread on McGrady and maybe he doesn't break down physically as soon as he did.
I wouldn't have either...go back and check what Boston actually gave up for KG. Their offer was significantly better PLUS he had zero incentive to help LA unless LA was going to make it worth his while.

@6 languages and 4 degrees dude if there's a player who can shot at 34% clip with much higher volume means that player is a better shooter than a player who shoots once in a blue moon with 33%. Determining a good shooter is not based on percentage but based on the volumes he shot
Kobe and KG would have been amazing. That level of drive and intensity would have been infectious. Not to mention, those two dudes would weed out all of the soft players too. Could you imagine practice with those two?
To be fair, Derrick Rose is pretty humble himself, so I can see him adjusting his game to get the wins he needs. Heck, if Lebron and D.Wade did go to the Bulls, that means there would be less weight on Rose in the playoffs, which means that he wouldn't have torn his ACL.

Don't forget Dantley. Him and Nique played the same position so one would have had to go and a trade of prime Dantley would have garnered some interest. Making a deal with Portland which would include swapping the #16 and #19 picks, ensuring the Jazz still got Stockton, might have helped. With the #2 pick the Jazz would take Jordan and then re-route Darrell Griffith for a future #1 (as a 20ppg scorer and the league leader in 3pt % the prior year, he would have interest as well). Remember the Jazz were having financial issues and wanted to save on payroll at this time. The 1984-85 season would show a promising young team with Wilkins, Jordan, Green, Eaton, Bailey as well as Stockton and Hansen off the bench. Jordan and Wilkins would have been the 'air up there' duo with flashy dunks possible every possession, which would have helped to get the team more profitable at the gate, staving off the possible sale of the team during the 1984-1986 timeframe. However they likely would have done well enough to not pick #13 in 1985, meaning Karl Malone would have never joined the team. Oh well, fun to wonder about.

JAY JAY BINKS Yeah Mark Cuban said in a interview that they had a deal done to send Josh Howard and a couple of first round picks do the Lakers for kobe but the Lakers backed out at the last second

ironically enough about that bulls team, the heat had the highest odds for the first pick but fell to two and got michael beasley instead of derrick rose
They still could've drafted Russell Westbrook or Kevin Love instead of Beasley who was NEVER going to do well in MIA because of that franchise's culture and that city. Also, OJ Mayo would've been a good pick cuz he would've probably responded well to the Heat culture of discipline and accountability.
@@Israel-nb7ip oh mayo was actually the guy that riley loves and actually wanted. In the end, he just didnt have the stones to pass on Beasley's talent.
@@swaymcthunder1219 yeah, I remember. He relunctantly look Beasley...but all the more reason to either trade down or just draft Mayo and live with the results. I remember Mayo being a can't miss prospect out of HS and, even though he kind of didn't live up to the hype at USC, he was still considered a top 3-4 pick universally. I also remember people comparing his work ethic to Kobe's back then and even worked with Kobe's trainer for awhile when he was @USC. He's a 100% example of a guy that got drafted to the wrong franchise for his personality. Being in MIA and having Wade mentor him would've been all the difference in him living up to his talent.
This scenario of Dream, Glide, and Black Jesus playing together is scary. I can imagine the Inside-Outside options of feeding an unmatched post player and cutting with such a quality wing still one pass away and then the other geeting into a spotup position in the corner three or pinch-post area. I can also image the Outside-Inside pick-n-roll options of that same big presenting himself to one of these guards with the other still spotting up or cutting to the hoop.
Yeah dude just unbeatable. Also dont forget the Nash-Dirk-Shaq trio. Nash could pick and roll with Shaq and pick and pop with Dirk all day long. Shaq could post up and Dirk with Nash (legendary shooters) waiting for the double or triple team.
Interesting list. Especially the MJ - Hakeem - Drexler one. I never knew that happened. Honorable mentions here should be Magic Johnson & Charles Barkley (& potentially James Worthy too?) I remember Barkley saying on a talk show one time that he almost got traded to the Lakers, but then things got changed at the last minute or something. Can you imagine Barkley playing alongside the Showtime lakers? That would've been amazing!! Also the potential pairing of MJ & Patrick Ewing. I remember reading someone that MJ was almost traded to the Knicks at one point. MJ & Ewing would've been dope too.
That Rockets team would've been the greatest basketball team period in my opinion. Just Hakeem and MJ on the same team is scary. Add Clyde to that and you get an unbelievable team.
The must mind blowing was the Tim Duncan to Magic the fact that a simple mistaken "no" blew up the whole thing. I amdmire Spurs but the secenery mighr have changed too much with this.
You look back on it if you’re the Rockets whoever there owners were at that time, and that probably hunted them for a long time. I know Ralph Sampson was good , but they had a chance at Clyde granted they still got him late in his career and won a “ chip” with him but they had a chance at a young Clyde who was amazing and to possibly use that 2 pick on Michael Jeffery Jordan aka “Goat” it would’ve hurt not seeing him here in Chicago but that time would’ve probably broke the Celts record for “ chips” if they could co exist because both Clyde and MJ played the same position that is why Portland didn’t draft him. Looking back on it that is insane but go back to 1984 you can understand Portland logic and Houston but if someone had a time machine and could show both the future and what MJ became , there is no way he gets to the bulls at 3 . Chicago never has the United Center and Jerry Reinsdorf probably would’ve sold the team long ago . Just amazing even thinking about it.
David Stern’s “basketball reason” for veteoing the CP3 trade was so he could trade him to the clippers. It would give them two great teams in the league’s biggest market Edit: Kobe also probably wouldn’t have gotten his Achilles injury which means he honestly could still be playing. That means he wouldn’t have died in a helicopter crash
Nice conspiracy theory...except Stern was in the process of selling the team and didn't want to sell a franchise, especially one in a city that was just devastated by natural disaster and lost a huge chunk of its population, without one of the league's bright young stars on it. That's why he vetoed the trade. The trade he vetoed wouldn't have brought back ONE young star. The trade they actually made brought back Eric Gordon who at the time was considered one of the future rising stars at his position and they also got a Clippers pick that was top ten, which they used on Austin Rivers. But go ahead and entertain us with your conspiracy theories that you have zero evidence to support...
No, the original owner (George Shinn) was in massive debt and couldn't cover his loses or build a team that can compete. Chris Paul was also fed up of the ownership not being able to give him help on the court so he demanded for a trade. So in late 2010, Shinn put the team for sale but no one was interested. He tried to convince the top minority owner to buy his stock to become the majority owner, but the minority owner refused. Shinn also had a negative reputation after he went to trial for raping a woman back in 2002, so fans were refusing to attend the games under Shinn's ownership. Eventually, the NBA bought the team from Shinn and had their people run it to make them competitive.

J Kidd and Duncan will be a unstoppable and nightmare for all of teams. Imagine they will won 5 championship together and Duncan will have 7 championship
True
Could you imagine Jordan and Hakeem with those role players they had? It would’ve been over for the whole NBA 😂
Yeah but Celtics was going to be a threat bird not giving it up like that
@@vizunip8773 His back injuries would have.
The untapped potential of a Rose, Wade, Deng, James, Noah core is fun to think about.
That’s a decade of pure domination
@@jonesiboybeastmode6857 they would have lost deng and Noah. Reinsdorf is just too cheap to pay all of them. Which is probably why they chose miami. Reinsdorf will always be the downfall of the bulls.
I feel like this time would have won more rings
They would have kept noah forsure but they would have traded dang and boozers
@@kendallallen6634 boozer wouldn't be on the team in this situation. And unless Noah would take a huge pay cut, they wouldn't been able to keep him and pay 3 max players. Even with miami going over the tax, they couldn't afford a 4th option at that price. Noah was gonna get paid.
2019 warriors falied because they lost to the raptors.4allstars dray,curry,tompson,bogie klay got injured in game 6.raptors two allstar lowry leonard.kd was injured
@Luis Francisco that 's y i didn't say kd because he was injured then i said klay got injured
I get what you are trying to say but man those sentences are hard to read. Use some more words my guy
everybody sub to me
@Luis Francisco no they lost in 2016
KD and klay got hella injured, Boogie was coming out of an injury, rusty, Iggy got injured mid game, Shaun old, raptors pretty much 5 v 1 Curry. Made a strategy specifically for him. Kawhi traveled at the end of game 6, significant. Raptors played amazing. Warriors won the game KD played like 7 minutes, raptors couldn't stop them with KD. Warriors were a heeeeeell waaaay better team. Injuries got waaaay out of hand
Rose, Wade and LeBron in a team that already had Luol Deng or Joakim Noah... omg. As a Bulls fan, this hurts so much.
Us rockets fans hurt more knowing what could’ve been 😔
This is the most unstopable super team .....
Alex caruso, bol bol and tacko fall
And Brian scalabrine
And Bonga
Ok galaxy opals we get it
The MEME team 😭🤣
TROG SQUAD
Allen Iverson + T -Mac on the 76ers almost happened as well.
Would of never worked. They both wanted the ball to much. And I doubt Iverson was letting that happen. He fit better with grant hill. But then hill got injured so it killed Mcgradys playoff hopes
Pls make more videos based on things like this (trades and free agency)
D. Rose, D. Wade, Lebron James, Luol Deng, and Joakim Noah would've been a nasty lineup
I love your content Andy keep it going ‼️‼️‼️
When you hear those trumpets... you know what I’m gonna say
Thank you Andy for another masterpiece
Roberto Lebron finally an original version of this comment.
Man a prime J Kidd with the Spurs of that era would've been DEADLY!!!! 😳😳😳😳. Even though I'm a Lakers fan, I would've LOVED to have seen that.
Garnett became a Celtic because Mchale was their GM 😂 dude bleeds green
Another What-If Superteam: Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing in New York (1996 Free Agency)
Jimmy, Harden, Cp3, and Capela would’ve been nasty
That MJ-Hakeem-Dexler superteam would be so unstoppable. 😳
Don’t forget in 2007 Kobe was literally seconds away from almost being a Maverick
JAY JAY BINKS Yeah Mark Cuban said in a interview that they had a deal done to send Josh Howard and a couple of first round picks do the Lakers for kobe but the Lakers backed out at the last second
JAY JAY BINKS doesn’t change the fact that Kobe to Dallas almost happened lol
JAY JAY BINKS nope. Only won when Jordan, Pippen etc were there
@JAY JAY BINKS they are not a failed franchise.. They have the 3 most championships out of any team. Are you even a basketball fan?
As a magic fan I would have loved to see Duncan in Orlando. Shaq and Dirk would have been amazing to watch tho
Duncan on here twice shows how versatile his game was.
You forgot the most recent: LeBron, AD and Kawhi to the Lakers in the summer of 2019 when KL2 was a free agent
Love your channel
How good was Cedric Maxwell a underrated key player from the 80s Celtics.
Best off the bench player of the 80's imo
Finals MVP as well
Finals MVP after Celtics defeated the Rockets for the championship
Great video Andy!!!
I’m from San Antonio, and I remember when Tim Duncan was considering leaving to play in Orlando. WELL WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT ENDED! 5x NBA CHAMP! would’ve been 6 if Kawhi Leonard would’ve made his damn free throws in 2013 Finals Game 6..... AND YOU KNOW THIS!!!!
Or Duncan been on the court to rebound
Ahh the NBA super teams video , but gotta love those Andy hoops trumpets 🎺
bruce lau exactly
The top 2 maybe 3 would've been amazing Duncan with t-mac and a healthy grant hill!!??
Mans photoshopped Tim Duncan on Aaron Gordon in the dunk contest😂
Bruh... Imagine shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, Dennis Rodman, Gary Payton, Rick fox on the same team oh wait...
Damn only Malone who never got a ring.
Thank you for the video it was really good!
Duncan and TMac was actually waaaaay closer to happening in Chicago rather than all three in Orlando.
I waited so long to watch this cuz I thought it was a mike korzemba vid 😂 all love Andy 🙏🙌
rose probably doesnt get injured having to carry Bulls as the 1st seed back 2 back seasons.
Possible to do a how good was John salmons or A Caron Butler one? I love your “How good” videos. You’re awesome!
Lol mchale was never gonna send KG the lakers over boston cmon now
For real 😂😂😂.
Exactly, the Lakers were his rival. He hated them.
You forgot the Trade with Boston in 2018 where kawhi Lenard and Anthony Davis where rumored about being traded when Kyrie was still there
This isnt a video about silly rumors. This is about things that were actually close to happening.
Sway McThunder it was gonna happen but kawhi declined for the raptors
And Davis declined also because he had beef with someone
@@Talibanmexicano It was never ever going to happen. Do the research.
Talia Mason yes it was but they declined are you stupid?
You should do a video of failed superteams
Can you imagine that duo between Dirk Nowitzki and Shaquille O'Neal....would've been a pretty scary and threatening duo for the time
ironically enough about that bulls team, the heat had the highest odds for the first pick but fell to two and got michael beasley instead of derrick rose
Yeah, bulls fan here, that draft was rigged for us
They still could've drafted Russell Westbrook or Kevin Love instead of Beasley who was NEVER going to do well in MIA because of that franchise's culture and that city. Also, OJ Mayo would've been a good pick cuz he would've probably responded well to the Heat culture of discipline and accountability.
@@Israel-nb7ip oh mayo was actually the guy that riley loves and actually wanted. In the end, he just didnt have the stones to pass on Beasley's talent.
@@swaymcthunder1219 yeah, I remember. He relunctantly look Beasley...but all the more reason to either trade down or just draft Mayo and live with the results. I remember Mayo being a can't miss prospect out of HS and, even though he kind of didn't live up to the hype at USC, he was still considered a top 3-4 pick universally. I also remember people comparing his work ethic to Kobe's back then and even worked with Kobe's trainer for awhile when he was @USC. He's a 100% example of a guy that got drafted to the wrong franchise for his personality. Being in MIA and having Wade mentor him would've been all the difference in him living up to his talent.
This scenario of Dream, Glide, and Black Jesus playing together is scary.
I can imagine the Inside-Outside options of feeding an unmatched post player and cutting with such a quality wing still one pass away and then the other geeting into a spotup position in the corner three or pinch-post area.
I can also image the Outside-Inside pick-n-roll options of that same big presenting himself to one of these guards with the other still spotting up or cutting to the hoop.
Yeah dude just unbeatable. Also dont forget the Nash-Dirk-Shaq trio. Nash could pick and roll with Shaq and pick and pop with Dirk all day long. Shaq could post up and Dirk with Nash (legendary shooters) waiting for the double or triple team.
Kobe and KG on the same team? Damn.
Bruh, at 9:06 I lost it at T-mac's reaction knowing they could've had TD if Doc just said yes to one simple request lmaooooo.
If we would’ve gotten LeBron and Dwade or at least Melo, the Bulls would’ve at least won a championship
Interesting list. Especially the MJ - Hakeem - Drexler one. I never knew that happened. Honorable mentions here should be Magic Johnson & Charles Barkley (& potentially James Worthy too?) I remember Barkley saying on a talk show one time that he almost got traded to the Lakers, but then things got changed at the last minute or something. Can you imagine Barkley playing alongside the Showtime lakers? That would've been amazing!! Also the potential pairing of MJ & Patrick Ewing. I remember reading someone that MJ was almost traded to the Knicks at one point. MJ & Ewing would've been dope too.
Did this boy just say Dirk was “maybe” the best shooting big man ever...it’s definite, unless you somehow count kd as a big man.
Karl Anthony Towns has better career FG%, 3P% and TS% compared to Dirk who's only better at FT%.
Abu Hassan kat only have played 5 seasons compared to 21 wtf
Abu Hassan 21 full seasons of COMPETING vs 5 seasons of empty stats on a bad team
Well, KD is a 7-footer. I recall during Dirk's peak in 2011 and as KD was truly approaching superstardom, people would call KD the Black Dirk
@@abuhassan8849 April 1st is over.
thanks for this. needed this time
Pau would’ve never came if KG had gone to the lakers
talkingdogpro CP and Dwight Howard too
KG was better than Pau. All the respect to Gasol, but KG was maybe the best PF, certainly in Duncan's and Malone's level
Nice research, well done.
Daumm DIRK + SHAQ = 5 Rings
Those trumpets signify a beginning of a masterpiece
Are We Totally Forgetting The Almost Super Team Of Lebron , AD & Kawhi ?? That Would Atleast Hit Top 10
that would've been gsw 2.0 lol
Wow. A video from andy. Thanks andy.
Here's another one. Cavs almost traded Kyrie Irving for Paul George and Bledsoe.
That team would’ve definitely competed with the warriors. Idk if they would’ve won but they would’ve pushed the warriors to 6-7 games for sure
On a second note, a duo of Dirk and Kobe in LA is scary for real if that trade fell through
How could you forget about Jordan almost leaving the bulls after the 96 season to go to the Knicks!? Jordan, Ewing and LJ?
That Rockets team would've been the greatest basketball team period in my opinion. Just Hakeem and MJ on the same team is scary. Add Clyde to that and you get an unbelievable team.
The must mind blowing was the Tim Duncan to Magic the fact that a simple mistaken "no" blew up the whole thing. I amdmire Spurs but the secenery mighr have changed too much with this.
Dirk and Shaq on those 05-07 Mavs would have been unstoppable
You look back on it if you’re the Rockets whoever there owners were at that time, and that probably hunted them for a long time. I know Ralph Sampson was good , but they had a chance at Clyde granted they still got him late in his career and won a “ chip” with him but they had a chance at a young Clyde who was amazing and to possibly use that 2 pick on Michael Jeffery Jordan aka “Goat” it would’ve hurt not seeing him here in Chicago but that time would’ve probably broke the Celts record for “ chips” if they could co exist because both Clyde and MJ played the same position that is why Portland didn’t draft him. Looking back on it that is insane but go back to 1984 you can understand Portland logic and Houston but if someone had a time machine and could show both the future and what MJ became , there is no way he gets to the bulls at 3 . Chicago never has the United Center and Jerry Reinsdorf probably would’ve sold the team long ago . Just amazing even thinking about it.
2:53 it’s not like Kevin mc hale played for Boston.
David Stern’s “basketball reason” for veteoing the CP3 trade was so he could trade him to the clippers. It would give them two great teams in the league’s biggest market
Edit: Kobe also probably wouldn’t have gotten his Achilles injury which means he honestly could still be playing. That means he wouldn’t have died in a helicopter crash
What a stretch
That Last part is in poor taste
Nice conspiracy theory...except Stern was in the process of selling the team and didn't want to sell a franchise, especially one in a city that was just devastated by natural disaster and lost a huge chunk of its population, without one of the league's bright young stars on it. That's why he vetoed the trade. The trade he vetoed wouldn't have brought back ONE young star. The trade they actually made brought back Eric Gordon who at the time was considered one of the future rising stars at his position and they also got a Clippers pick that was top ten, which they used on Austin Rivers. But go ahead and entertain us with your conspiracy theories that you have zero evidence to support...
And BTW, that Kobe part of your comment is just plain stupid. Kobe would still be playing at 41-42? LOL...ok, genius.
Israel Rosario Jr. Vince Carter is 44 and Kobe could put up 60 at age 37 after a torn Achilles so no one knows
If Mavs got Shaq, they could have gotten at least 2 championships in the mid 2000s.
How were the New Orleans Hornets “Owned by the league”
They didn't have an owner at that time, so the NBA had to deal with the team.
No, the original owner (George Shinn) was in massive debt and couldn't cover his loses or build a team that can compete. Chris Paul was also fed up of the ownership not being able to give him help on the court so he demanded for a trade. So in late 2010, Shinn put the team for sale but no one was interested. He tried to convince the top minority owner to buy his stock to become the majority owner, but the minority owner refused. Shinn also had a negative reputation after he went to trial for raping a woman back in 2002, so fans were refusing to attend the games under Shinn's ownership. Eventually, the NBA bought the team from Shinn and had their people run it to make them competitive.

Great video.
Lebron would’ve won more had he went to Chicago.
Shawn Durham will prevent rose injury
Since drose is younger than him they still playing together right now still
Niko FernandeZ That and Lebron & Wade would’ve taken some pressure off of Rose, and he prob wouldn’t have gotten injured.
@@shawndurham297 d rose wouldn't have became d rose if he played with LeBron.. Think about it.. Chris bosh was a very big factor for the heat and everybody acting like he was just another average player because he had to role-play for LeBron.. Same shit happened to kevin love.. LeBrons play style wouldn't allow d rose to be his best.
Doubtful, that team was horrible offensively and nobody likes playing 5 on 4 defensively.
LeBron could have hoisted himself to even greater heights with a move to Chicago to create a new dynasty...follow in his idol's footsteps, that would have been something. Honestly, it's hard to believe that he didn't do it.
Andy makes great videos but he also forgets/says some dumb stuff sometimes. For example, it's pretty obvious that if the Lakers got Kevin Garnett, they never would've traded for Pau. Andy makes all these videos yet didn't even mention that Pau was traded to the Lakers in 2008, not 2007. So he wasn't already there.
LeBron, Wade, Rose, Deng, Noah, Boozer > LeBron, Wade, Bosh & randoms. This is not a debate. 4 Championships and more if less backpacking would kept Rose healthy.
