The NBA 'What If?' Thread!

[Matty4292]

What if all of last season was lost due to the lock-out?

LeBron would still be ringless, Dwight would still be in Orlando, Lin would still be a bench warmer, Harden would still be in OKC, CP3 wouldn't be a Clipper and NO wouldn't have had the #1 pick, Wall wouldn't be hurt and Wiz wouldn't be 1-12.... And the list goes on.

Nah Knicks all the way!
Signed Amare for 100m? Un-insurable? Knowing that career resurgence was unlikely! Huge gamble ouch!

Hmmm I dunno... I think the arrival of Melo to NY and Dantoni's dismissal was more the cause to the demise of Amare's career...

What if MJ got picked in the JV team... Would he still been the most driven person in the world?

What if Cleveland drafted Derrick Williams over Kyrie?

What if the Bucks didn't use the 1st pick on Bogut?

What if LeBron went to college?

What if Hayward gets traded to a team that starts him?!!!!!!!!

What if Chicago passed up on MJ?

What if Memphis had passed on Thabeet and drafted someone else?

If Vancouver had traded down in the 1996 draft, and instead of using pick 3 they had picks 12 and 20 and selected Steve Nash and Zydrunas Ilgauskas would there still be a Vancouver NBA team?

If the Celtics had won the Timmy draft lottery, and also ended up with pick 2 too, would a team of Duncan, Van Horn and 'Toine been successful?

If the NBA, and Cleveland, didn't give the Lakers top overall picks to get Earvin Johnson and James Worthy would they have won anything in the 1980s?

What if the NBA wasn't actually an organization, but a dictatorship?....... Oh
Wait!

What if Blair had ACL's?

What if every team was limited to spend the exact same amount on salaries? And endorsements were included!

What if George Mikan wasn't so dominant and the rules weren't changed?

What if Brooklyn Nets new jerseys actually had some sort if design to them?

What if the Spurs didn't have any international players?

What if Garnettfan4life had a sense of humour?

What if NBA.tv didn't exist?

What if teams had to play a couple of regular season games international, like Perth!

What if they held an All Star weekend and actually included the best dunker in the dunk comp and the best 3pt shooters in the 3pt comp?

New York has to be the franchise who has flushed the most $$ straight down the toilet. Or lit it on fire. Or thrown good money after bad, whichever analogy you prefer haha

New York don't need to win! They just need to spend enough on players (doesn't matter who) to make the fans interested enough to break merchandise sales records and fill MSG!!

After Linsanity, they could have paid Lebron with just the proceeds of merchandise!
