If that Jermaine O'Neal trade never happened,

do you think the Blazers would be more willing to sacrifice young talent for older veterans to help shape the team? Or is it just the thing to do nowadays and some people are just too blind to see it because we are so focused on the Blazers, the team that we love?

Different era, different management, different circumstances.

Do you think if the Blazers hadn't drafted Bowie, they wouldn't have drafted Alaa Abdelnaby?

 

[santeesioux]

What if the 'Zers drafted Noah instead of Oden?!?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

 

[RR7]

No, doubt that deal has any bearing at all on their decision making.

Do you think that if the Shawn Kemp trade hadn't happened, the Blazers would be more willing to trade for Kevin Love?

 

[Rhal]

If we hadnt lost the coinflip for Hakeem would we have 9 or 10 banners hanging from the rafters and would Jordan have only 1 ring?

Do you think that if the Shawn Kemp trade hadn't happened, the Blazers would be more willing to trade for Kevin Love?

No, but we might have hired Darryl Strawberry to teach nutrition and Ed Houben to teach our players family values.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well if we would have kept Brian Grant and not have traded for Shawn Kemp just maybe this would have turned out totally different. I think that was the real turning point for this franchise.

Bro, sometimes I think it's you instead of me on drugs.

So that's a yes? They would be trading for Love now if they hadn't traded for Kemp back then?

If PapaG was never banned, would his head a splode reading this thread?

If we lost the revolutionary war would we be watching rugby instead of basketball? Would the NBA logo be a picture of Joel Freeland?

 

[Minstrel]

I'm seeing a lot of questions, but not a lot of answers.

We need to be better.

 

[magnifier661]

What if the universe never expanded? Would there still be Internet?

He's back. Just a different name.

What if PapaG never existed? Would ranch dressing ever exist?

Answer, Jermaine would have exploded here and got too big for his britches while the Jail Blazer era was in full on psycho mode. Less intelligent fans would not realize that players come and go. These fans would jump ship to other teams.

So, the butterfly effect would be that this thread never existed.

Yes, no, occasionally, perhaps, 724, Cambodia, .406, pi, and of course.

Old school style? What are they doing, putting horse heads in GMs beds and making them an offer they can't refuse?
