Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 Want to drive yourself nuts? Tired of pissing and moaning about a team that's going nowhere? Well let's piss and moan in a more creative way! No dragons allowed. What if Orlando had signed Vince Carter instead of Rashard Lewis? What if Orlando signed Corey Maggette instead of Mikael Pietrus? What if Orlando had signed Chris Duhon the year we pursued him instead of Pietrus? What if Tony Battie never got injured, and Lewis started at the 3 with Hedo as a sixth man? What if Orlando drafted Nicolas Batum or Darrell Arthur in 2008 instead of Courtney Lee? What if Orlando drafted Landry Fields in 2010? What if Orlando hadn't traded away their 2011 pick, and drafted MarShon Brooks or Norris Cole? What if Orlando didn't trade away their pick/bought a pick in 2009 and selected DeJuan Blair, Marcus Thornton, or Jonas Jerebko? What if Orlando acquired Jarret Jack instead of Rafer Alston during the Finals run? What if instead of purchasing Marcin Gortat, we purchased the rights to Amir Johnson? What if we had kept Courtney Lee instead of JJ Redick in the Wince Carter deal? What if we acquired Yi Jianlian instead of Ryan Anderson? What if we acquired Arenas AND Blatche for Rashard Lewis/filler? What if we acquired Randy Foye, Kirk Hinrich, and Al Thornton for Wince's expiring? What if we had fired Otis in the offseason, what would our roster look like now? What if we had signed Marquis Daniels or Jamario Moon instead of Matt Barnes? What if Orlando traded Jason Richardson for Zach Randolph at the deadline? What if Orlando traded Jameer Nelson for Andre Miller/1st round pick last year and drafted Brooks, Kenneth Faried, or someone else? What if Orlando did trade Dwight and Hedo for Brook Lopez, Gerald Wallace, and multiple 1st round picks before the season started? Got anymore? Most of these were based on rumors, reports, or likely draft scenarios based on need/BPA/or position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zara 74 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I like this thread, it can't be "backed up with facts" :lol: Yet it is a nice reality check at the same time. Some things go your way, in others you just strike out. At the end of the day, we are where we are because Dwight got convinced he has outgrown Orlando. It's tough; but we'll make it :cheers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger57 65 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 "What If", is that one of those made up games like "Hide The Pickle"? Have a feeling that for the Magic they'd both end the same way, with us getting f***ed (and not in a good way). :superman: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumike4ya 23 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 What if clee made the alleyoop to win ? What if jameer blocked fishers 3? What if we won the ship that year? What if we drafted okafor instead and became the bobcats? What if Lebron said im taking my talents to Disney World? What if shaq never left? What if We got to keep all our draft picks and actually drafted some talent that gets used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Better DJ & Photographer 461 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 What if the NBA changed the rules and intentional fouls were 1 point plus the ball What if the NBA eliminated foul shots and just awarded the 2 points-imagine the pace of the game What if the NBA moved the rim up to 12 feet What if the NBA let the ball be in play once it hit the rim What if Hill wasn't injured and Duncan signed with us Duncan, Tracy, Hill, What if we kept the finals team intact... how good would we be now What if Stan benched guys that were having a bad game What if Stan played the rookies and they were actually really good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

30Assists 342 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 What if Dwight said: "I love Orlando and want to stay in this city. Anybody that wants to play with me should come here, because that's the only way it's happening" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
