The mere thought of having Jordan, Hakeem and Clyde on a same team is scary ... Like really scary. Their own worst enemies would probably be themselves and chemistry... But if they somehow managed to adapt, they would be unstoppable and Op as hell...
MJ, Clyde and Hakeem would of won 8 straight titles like the Bill Russell’s Celtics (1959-1966)
@@Michaeljordandagoat Thats 7 years bud
@@xzaylinhenderson3103 59’, 60’ 61’, 62’, 63’, 64’, 65’ and 66’ thats 8 buddy
@@xzaylinhenderson3103 the tactic of just subtracting them from each other doesn't work because the 1959 wouldn't be counted then.
I would looooove to see a basketball channel simulate that (MJ, Dream, and Clyde together).
Make this a series, especially those legends that are legit stayed at their franchise
ArthurFhackingShelby i would absolutely watch that in a heartbeat
I'd like to see one with lebron
The 40 times Carmelo Anthony was almost traded
Kobe Bryant is one example who is quite well-known for being in trade rumors back in the 2000s. He even wanted to be traded to the Clippers, according to Jerry West.
The problem is most legends that stayed with one team were rarely ever in talks about being traded. There's a reason they stayed with one team. Because they were good. It would have to be a video with multiple players. Because almost everyone was talked about being traded once. I know kobe, Dirk was rumored to be traded for Shaq. Thats all I can think of really.
Another title: 6 times MJ took it personally
🤣🤣
Oh he did!
The only way to break the Clippers curse is to send them Michael Jordan
You seem to forget who the Clippers owner was back then
@@4olufade who??
@@injectedwolf914 donald sterling lol
If you manage to put Magic Jhonson, Jordan, LeBron, Duncan and Hakeem on the Clippers, all os they in their primes, they would still lose in the second round, the curse is just too powerful
@@pedroaugustocosta2533 but also chemistry
6 times he was doubted, and he’s got a ring to show for each time 🤷♂️
Remember me when this comment blows up
@@rezefe9978 lol
But he was favored like everyone except the lakers wasn’t he?
Damn
Alex Escutia yeah lol
I figured all of these came from the 80’s portion of MJ’s career, If it were the 90’s Jerry Krause would be a deadman walking. LMAO, but this also shows you how GM’s can be impatient. Not saying all players can turn out to be the 🐐 but you just never know. Lol
Unfortunately, MJ had a terrible team ( in the 80s ). He was the only star player in his team. MJ in the East had to face teams such as the Boston Celtics, Pistons and Bucks.
JORDAN is the only one who put up a decent resistance to the Detroit Pistons team ( 1989/1990 ).
As soon as Scotte Pippen made it to his first All-star Gamer, the Chicago Bulls were on the verge of beating the Pistons. But in Game 7, of the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals, half of the team was injured.
Pippen had a migraine.
@@allanhouston6759 Orlando Woolridge was there when Jordan came. But the two of them weren't enough for the Bulls to be good.
This video is exactly why I watch this channel. If I want my daily analysis I tune in to Thinking Basketball or Coach Daniel but there is no better channel than this for the stories Basketball writes.
Amen to that
M/oron
Jordan, Hakeem, and Drexler on the same team? That would’ve been insane.
Think Durant Harden Westbrook ONLY BETTER. Jordan would probably play PG and Clyde would be the SG while Hakeem would C. This team will give the showtime lakers a run for their money in the 80s. If they don't disband, they will have a dynasty spanning the 80s to the 90s. Crazy.
Never woulda happened
@@randyquench8731 aint happening you i/diot
How good was Gail Goodrich a soild point guard and a key player for those 70s Lakers.
Who?
@@peewee3030 he was really great but jerry west just overshadowed him, as well as baylor and chamberlain. so yeah.....
@@peewee3030 he is the backup sg in the lakers all time team i think, so yes he was really amazign
He good as hell in 2k lil white boy be sparking them 3’s on that all time team lol
He also was a good player on the suns
As a lifetime Rocket's fan, that Almost Ralph Sampson trade always sucks to hear.... We were this close to greatness lol
We did achieve greatness, twice. I don't regret anything
At the same time I don't blame the Rockets. Ralph Sampson was every bit the big man prospect as David Robinson, Shaq, and Duncan, and he was coming off a ROY season.
@@saucers79 Facts made it to the finals, wouldve been a GOAT center without injuries
@@michael870870 yeah but 2chips would’ve turned into like 10 soooo
Might be crazy but I feel like if mj got traded we woulda saw another level with the way he takes shit personal(I know it sounds crazy)
we wouldn’t bc he wouldn’t have been playing with arguably the best team of all time
KJK ENT. The Bulls are nowhere near the best team of all time talent wise.
Imagine an organization doing you wrong IMAGINE Jordan playing against them in a game he would drop 100 holy shy
@@kjkent.3738 They're only that cause of him you i/diot
@@CavsFanDallasFanSinceFebruary they sure are and not based on talent stupid
Who in their right minds would trade Michael Jackson?
haha funny one 😐
@Andre Lomedico huh
@@princessguillermo954 i laughed
Was Michael Jackson a white or a black
@@princessguillermo954 you look like Michael Jackson
damn if that rockets trade went through that really coulda been 8 straight chips
They probaby take one in the late 80's.
MJ and Charles Barkley on a team back then would've been a monster
Been watching since “Every nba team that blew a 3-1 lead” and had low subs. Nice to see him blowing up and doing good now
If MJ was traded to the Clippers, he would've probably been cursed and not being the GOAT
Woulda been the only way to stop him tbh
I think he would still be a all-star, all-nba,all-defender, a scoring champ, and a hall of fame, but his value in the Goat debate would without a doubt, take a monster hit, and he probably just be traded, cause he would clash with his team for lack a help.
Pedro Augusto Costa he would. Be in a same situation as melo but a little better
He would also have to deal with Donald Sterling. Because of this he would have asked to be traded later on
@@justainternetwonderer1273 He would be in a much worse situation as Donald Sterling was a very cheap owner and wouldn't have gotten him the help he needed
Your channel is straight fire. Very underrated. Keep up the good work bro.
Another great video Andy ty!
Dominique is someone who’s tru tru potential we couldn’t see because of the era and the teams he was on
Andy upload = good day
"6 Michael Jordan trades that almost happened" would be a better title since most were on draft night.
I traded him to the Detroit pistons in NBA live 2003...he was 39 tho
THIS MAN DESERVES YOUR SUB
For as much shit Jordan and a lot of people give him Jerry Krause is having the last laugh you can see how much Jordan struggled in being a owner
he would be, if he wasnt dead
Yup, no first round wins
Maybe you need to be a rude, money-hungry, asshole to be a good owner.
@@MrE_ Jordan is exactly that
Krause wasnt a owner and Jordan isnt struggling in making billions and oh yeah he's still alive you i/diot
another quality video thanks andy
Andy don’t ever stop making videos please
Did Andy just finessed ayeeeee lol nice 👍🏻
That's the greatest topic chosen by Andy ever.
U a legend bro
Andy hoops 🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That Houston trade would have been dope. What would have happened to Pippen?
Legit one of the best opening I've heard
I wonder how different the Nba would be if any of these trades happened?
Jordan to Houston would have been crazy.
That would have been nice
It would have been strange to see MJ on any other team besides the Bulls
It was strange to see him on the Wizards 🏀🧙♂️
That last trade with the Sixers sounds VERY enticing and intriguing...WHEW!
Barkley might have at least 1 ring if the trade for Dr. J and MJ succeeded..
2:09 not the first time i seen mike make the opposition shake lmaooo
Interesting the rockets chose the twin towers over the two greatest shooting guards in there era to team with hakeem...that would've been at least a 10peat...but you can't fault them because they had the two greatest big men to come out of college in a long time back to back and thought it would be a devastating combination but ultimately failed in having a trifecta of alltime greats in there 1st and second yrs in the league...combined they won 9 championships and 8 finals mvps and made 11 finals appearances individually as opposed to one final appearance with the twin towers.
Once again Andy with the word "perennial" or is it parenial . How do you spell it? What does it mean??
I get the context but whats the definition of the word??
Love the content
Can I suggest a video on Gus Williams the pg from the Sonics in the late 70s through the mid 80s. I feel like he played like a rookie Allen Iverson without the crossover and was a little taller. Plus he’s a great second rounder people don’t talk about
That 1988 Clipper deal was actually better than that: supposedly it was combination of any five players/picks they had. Let's say they took Cage, Benjamin, Woodson (arguably best three players clips had at the time) + both picks. They possibly counted on Mitch Richmond being there at #6. Having, say, a core of Smits (taken with #1 instead of manning), Richmond, Pippen, Oakley and Horace Grant would be pretty decent. Plus they'd still have their own pick and could take a point guard later on, like Strickland. Maybe not three-peat material, but would be interesting for sure.
Hi Andy, who do you think is a better player? Lebron James or Tim Duncan?
Whoever reads this, just a quick reminder, you are watching the Michael Jordan of the basketball community and basketball youtubers
No
Still waiting for u to make that How good was Antawn Jamison actually video
Do this for Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, could be a legendary Series...
Drexler, Hakeem and Jordan .... jesus
Never woulda happened
Birds fly, fish swim, Andy says "How's going"
@Grammar Police - Almost. That's not what he says. Open your ears
Jordan and Wilkins could probably co-exist pretty well because Mike was an underrated playmaker
MJ for Tree Rollins- Dumb trade but entertaining since MJ and Dominique are showstoppers
hi andy
How good was elton brand please i beg of you
MJ for Terry Cummings- The Clippers might still be in San Diego and are not that other LA team.
Can you make a video of the 2020 NBA Champions?
There is no 2020 nba champions
00:21 INSANE 😳😳😳
It's amazing to think if Jordan went to a smaller market or a better team where he wasnt the focal point, if he would be the Jordan we know today? Honestly I doubt it.
Rank the 10 greatest NBA rivals of the 2000s
Samson would have looked awesome in Portland. Houston would have had so many rings they wouldn't have known what to do with them, like 20 rings. LA, Boston and Detroit would have be unable to contend and no other team would ever be able to match that big 3 or their combined titles.
I didn't know about the last trade, that was interesting. Philly did okay with Chuck as a consolation prize
Rollins and oakley could’ve been a force front court
i've read that jerry west annointed jordan, before he became a superstar the first player in a long time who reminded him, west, of himself. additionally i do recall jordan, as a rookie and in his hs years he was a laker and magic johnson fan plus he would often speak of the lakers with graceful admiration and the squad they had at the time and especially was more than aware they employed one of his "chosen five", unc teammate james worthy. also, i can't imagine dr. buss wishing and salivating to somehow get mj in a laker jersey and catapulting the value of the lakers into the stratosphere and somehow trade for or sign him. the only thing is i can't find any info that mentions any behind the scenes talk of the lakers wanting jordan. i'm sure there was some time in jordan's bulls years the lakers wanted him and especially what kind of market value that would translate to the laker brand and value but might anyone know if there was ever mention of that?? i remember when pj came to coach la the Times even had print he reached out to jordan to come out of retirement to join his squad. i read in fact, i believe a book by jackie mcmullen that he did give it serious thought and weighed the possibility with his precious time, but eventually backed out because he ultimately concluded his needs on his part to play his best game would not bode well with the dynamic of the laker roster and very likely would have been relegated to a third option behind shaq and kobe, if i recall correctly.
u forgot about the shawn bradley trade
Do a video where Philly drafted John Stockton instead of Leon Wood with the 10th pick in the NBA 1984 draft.
Hawkins w manning and pippen intrigues me for pip as a number 1
wow I never knew the sixers were trying to get Michael Jordan that bad on that draft night in 84 I'm a sixers fan and I personally would have loved to see that I really wish it went through back then it would have changed history dramatically for the 76ers.
MJ and Barkley can be a good duo too!
The Drexler/Jordan/Olajuwon Rockets is my greatest WHAT IF.
M/oron
How good was Šarunas Marčiulionis, the godfather of the eurostep
If the Bulls did trade Jordan for those two picks. Including theirs picks hat year. The best they could have drafted would be Mitch Richmond, Hersey Hawkins, Rod Strickland and John Stark.
Never knew the bulls were thinking of trading MJ for chicago's own Terry Cummings aka preacher Man. And for the record TC was no slouch a sf/ of that had handles could shoot the midrange and post up. Him on the bulls would have been interesting seeing him ball for the home team
Shutup
My first thoughts: wtf, MJ getting traded?
Same
That title sounds sooooooooo laughable, it drew me in, on that, alone.
Andy, you're a marketing genius :)
They also wanted to trade Scottie in 95 for Shawn Kemp. Don't know whether the second three-peat would have happened with mike and the rainman, although im a big fan of both but Shawn kemp wasn't as good of a defender as pippen
Kemp and Pippen dont play the same type of defense you i/diot
And Kemp's a PF and they already had Rodman you i/diot
And either way, that 2nd 3 peat is still happening
man i am pissed at the rockets
If MJ would play on today's NBA, do you think that he would really demand a trade to go on a strong & competitive team just like what other NBA players like AD or Lebron did? Or would he become loyal from his team/franchise & stay there till he retire where he was drafted just like what Kobe, Dirk or Tim Duncan?
I almost got traded for MJ when i was 16
If Houston would have did that trade, they could have won 8 to 10 rings.
U didn’t mention mike to Boston or ny as signings
Can you do a trade video for Lebron?
Imagine if Jordan joined force with Bird and Magic. They will win more than 6 title.
And people criticizing players for of this generation for having control of their careers. They don't realize that there is much action behind the scenes as their is in the court. The management can easily decide at will what they are going to do to their players without any consent from them.
How good was Tracy Mcgrady?
You forgot about the time he almost got traded for the GOAT Alex Caruso
Na The Bulls tried to due the trade but the Lakers weren't that stupid to accept it
Man. Caruso is too good to be traded. Gtfoh
Hakeem, MJ, and Clyde will be a talented team but who can be the small forward? MJ or Clyde?
You forgot my favourite Jordan trade offer. Celtics offering a first round pick for the right to talk to MJ during his first retirement.
Do the moments when dirk almost got traded
I was a little lost
clippers offered any 5 assets from their team at one point
I like how the Clippers offered for MJ. Two top 10 picks for MJ. Maybe if that trade happens, then he would only win 2 or 3 championships with LAC
No, he transformed the Bulls franchise so you would be an i/diot to think he wouldnt transform the Clippers
The most interesting would be the Clippers trading their entire team for Jordan. Cause' then, Jordan would be the PG, SG, SF, PF, C, 6th man, role player, and heck, even be the benchwarmer of the team. Don't know about you, but that sounds pretty interesting to me.
That rockets team would’ve been insane all of these teams would’ve been title winners
Barkley wouldn't have been the same player if he went to the bulls. He's mentioned countless times how much Dr J and Moses Malone's mentorship helped his career in getting him to get in shape.
The league should retire the number 23 #jordan
are you filipino bro?
5:25 Wow. That Rockets team would have easily won 10 straight. Talk about all time blunders and "what if"...even better than the almost teaming of Tim Duncan, Tracey McGrady and Grant Hill in Orlando that Doc Rivers fumbled.
That was never gonna happen
How good was Dikembe Mutumbo?
Jordan being traded would really have made him "take it personally"
I can’t believe Michael Jordan really almost got traded in his career .. who would even trade the 🐐?
Jerry Krause
if you look, all this trades was in the middle to late 80's, when Jordan's reputation was not as high, he was still viewd as a ball hog hot minded guy who could not be a leader, when he mature and start to become the leader that the Bulls needed, they won't trade him for nothing.
@@pedroaugustocosta2533 yeah that's true and that is a valid point
A lot of these trade proposals were on draft day. Nobody knew Jordan was going to be the goat
@@brucelau2023 snowflake
The funny thing is is possible if many of these traders were made, we might not think of Jordan the same way. He could have been a good 90s player, but nothing to write home about.
If they agreed to trade MJ they wouldn't have 6 rings
