    This statement would be true for at least 60% of teams in the league - that'd be an upgrade even in Denver.

    And the Blazers were a different result on a coin flip away from Hakeem playing with Clyde Drexler.
    Too bad for the Blazers and the NBA because the Drexler-Olujuwon Blazers could have been a great rival to the Jordan Bulls and even the Detroit Pistons. The Eastern Conference dominated in the finals from 1989 to 1998, (except for the two seasons Houston won consecutively). There wasn't even one game 7, and the first 3 series were 5 or less games.

    Although if Portland had taken Olajuwon, would Houston have drafted Jordan?

    Moving Ant gets them closer to that than moving Nurk and we've got more guards than bigs on the roster. Grant I'm sure like Nurk last year already has a wink and nod deal for the offseason.

    Jokic put this wave to rest with his eyes closed.
