    What if the magic kept t-mac and had dwight and jameer at the same time?

    Then we wouldn't have traded for Darko and we probably wouldn't be as good. I think Darko is better than Fran because he is bigger and can play both the center and power forward position. Also, his defense last year was sick and he can block shots all day.

    What if Grant Hill had been healthy from the day we signed him?

    (By the way, try to make your answers more than just one line so we can have some good conversations instead of just post padding).

    If we Hill had never missed games the team we have would be completly different and I think we would be a better team. T-Mac would have stayed with Hill and would have been "Pippen" to Hill's "Jordan". Everybody is forgetting how good Grant was. If he was never hurt he would have exploded the Magic into one of the most dominant franchises in the league and potetially a dynasty, if you dont remember Hill was reaching his prime when he signed with the Magic.

    What if we drafted Emeka Okafor instead of Dwight Howard?

    Orlando would still stuggle if they got Emeka.

    What if Cuttino Mobley came back to the Magic?

    we would be a team that doesn't need a shooter as desperately as we do/did

    what if we never had a 19 game losing streak?

    We would still have Doc Rivers as the coach and TMac would still be here. However we wouldnt have Dwight.

    What if Shaq never left??

    kinda surprised no one asked that one yet....

    I will run in the streets naked and we will start to attract a lot of free agents.

    What if Jameer Nelson becomes an All-Star?

    We still a good free agent in the off-season and a chance to get Noah or another player that can help.

    There would be a gaping hole at the point guard spot or the Francis trade wouldn't have happened, hindering Dwight's offensive development even further.

    What if Penny Hardaway didn't injure himself out of a career in the NBA?

    Thats a tough one, I think we would have been a top 3 team in the east for the better part of the late 90's.


    what if we never hired not so wisebrod....

    if we never hired Weisbrod, we would still have t-mac. IMO Weisbrod wasn't really a huge deal. He wasn't the best GM/COO but he did do some good things. He was the man that signed Hedo, Dwight, and Jameer. If it weren't for Weisbrod we wouldn't have Jameer especially. Good comes with bad...

    What if Shaq purchases the organization after he retires?

    Remember to post a What if statement after you answer the previous one.

    I'll pick it up. What if the Magic had never traded Mobley to the Kings?
