Before the 1979 draft, there was a coin flip to determine who got the first overall pick....Lakers or Bulls.
Johnson (who was a sophomore) stated years later that if Bulls had won the flip, he would have stayed in school. He didn't want to play for them. He wanted to play with Kareem in LA
Say the Bulls win the flip an Magic stays in school.
The following year, Golden St. has the first overall pick. Does Magic hold out and stay in school for his senior year so he doesn't play for a team whose rebuilding? Which he'd obviously not wanting or afraid to do
The following year (Magic's done with NCAA) Dallas has the first overall pick. Does Johnson make sure he gets to the Lakers or a contender at all costs?
