The only one who turned out to be most useless out of all was Thabeet, so it gotta be him.

The Blazers draft Jordan over Bowie they become champs by sliding Drexler to the 3. The '95 Rockets don't get Drexler and might not be champs. Don't think the Bulls draft Bowie, they might've taken Barkley or Perkins. Stockton would've still fallen to the Jazz.

I think Jordan would've started winning by '90 instead of '91. The 90s would've been different depending on where Barkley ends up.

Carmelo Anthony could've been a champ in his rookie season. I doubt Darko gets taken by Denver or the Raptors so Bosh to Denver, Wade to Toronto. Shaq doesn't go to Miami - don't know where tbh. Totally changes the NBA's landscape in the late 2000.

Curry not on the Warriors, a team the evolved together, picked up Iggy and Bogut, but on the Grizzlies? I don't think a Marc, Steph and Zach line up wins chips at the same clip, don't even think they win one. Lebron would've won more if that happens.

Kawhi or Klay to the Wolves? the last 6 finals would've looked completely different. Lebron might've won more.

Overall I think both 2009 and 2011 changed the NBA the most.

If Jordan goes to the Blazers he might've won just as much, possible more, maybe less, but I'm sure his career would've been just as great. It's just the Blazrs and not the Bulls.

2009 and 2011 changed Durant's and Lebron's legacy eventhough they're not involved. Curry would be seen totally different.

Quite possibly Lebron ends up with 6 chips if he still joins Wade/Bosh and some other star duo down the road. Durant doesn't join Klay and Curry.

So it's 2009 and 2011 equally.

The Clippers should have taken Glen Rice. He was coming off a college championship where he averaged 30 a game in the NCAAs on excellent shooting. Ferry refused to play for them. So the Cavs ended up making a bad trade of Harper and two first rounders for Ferry and Reggie Williams.

Swift sucked, but there weren't hat many great players in the draft. Hedo or Crawford would be much better, but it's not like passing up on drafting future HOFers.

“Boston waited a year for Larry Bird. San Antonio waited two years for David Robinson. You will see- Danny Ferry will be worth the wait.”

:roll:

They signed Danny Ferry to a 10 year, 34 million dollar deal, which was a lot back then. Then his Italian Coach tells Lenny Wilkins that he doesn't think Ferry was good enough to make he Cavs roster. :lol

Sam Bowie was not a bad player, if healthy he would have been decent, although no Jordan, still serviceable as long as healthy. Thabeet gotta be the winner of this poll

Hasheem ThaBust easily. His career averages are something like 2 points and 2 rebounds a game right? :roll: :roll: Dude barely even played too.

What makes it even worse is the fact that he was taken before Harden, Curry, and DeRozan :roll:
