I've always wondered what might have became of Darko if he had ended up in Denver, Toronto, or Miami and not in Detroit on a win now team. Maybe his career just ends up much longer and better had he not had such unrealistic expectations placed on him. I've also wondered what might have become of the East in general had Anthony been drafted onto Detroit. Do they still acquire Rasheed if they have Anthony? Do the end up with that title still, or do they end up winning multiple ones? Does Anthony end up in the discussion with James as an all time great or does he still end up about where he is (but with a bit more team success)? Does Larry Brown stick around longer as coach of the team (since presumably Anthony gives that team a much larger window)? Do they prevent the Shaq/Wade Heat from winning the title, so that Shaq ends up with just 1 and Wade isn't sitting there with a title when James comes to town (I assume that still happens but maybe not)?
that draft was absolutely fascinating at the top and the what ifs are incredible. maybe more so than any other recent draft.
