I was thinking about this the other day and was wondering what the top what if moments in Celtics history were.
I came up with the following, in no particular order (some like the deaths are glaringly obvious).
What if Bias and/or Lewis don't die?
What if the Hawks don't trade Russell to the C's for Macauley and Hagan?
What if Red doesn't retire from coaching in 1966?
What if the C's don't draft Bird because he wasn't leaving college immediately?
What if the Warriors didn't want Joe Barry Carroll and the C's never get Parish (the C's could have still taken McHale at 1 instead of 3)?
What if the C's actually traded Bird, McHale, and Parish when they still had some value later in their careers?
What if the C's actually win the lottery and end up with Tim Duncan?
What if KG gets traded to someone else and the C's ultimately end up with Gasol and Jefferson?
Just some interesting things to ponder altered by the bounce of the ball (so to speak). Did I miss any?
