grant hill

A good What if is what if t mac stayed with the raptors and did not have to carry a magic team with a frequently injured grant hill.
What if McGrady stayed with Toronto is a good one
What if Jordan hadn't retired after each 3-peat?
What if the Thunder didn't blow a 3-1 lead against the Warriors?
Roy and Oden. If they would have stayed healthy at the same time for a few years they are an NBA champion at least once.
Him and Oden on the floor together were great. As great as KD was coming out of college, there was a reason Oden was drafted ahead of him. Unfortunately I think they played less than a full season of games together. Throw in LMA, you have a championship core there.Not sure I agree with the bolded.
Also, I wouldn't include Roy in this category because it was widely known that his knees weren't going to last, even before the draft.

Another big what if is about the Sun's owner being cheap and trading Joe Johnson. They got Diaw back, but they should have kept him. Kind of shocking how that Suns team never got to the final either.
Same with the Thunder choosing to pay Ibaka over Harden and not wanting to go into the luxury tax the season after they made the finals and all their core players were under the age of 24.
