Imagine what could've been had injuries not affected this team. Trailblazers!!
C. Greg Oden
PF. Lamarcus Aldridge
F. Nic Batum
G. Brandon Roy
PG. Damien Lillard
Sub. Wesley Matthews
This side had potential to play out the 2012/13 season
had injuries not led to Roy and Oden being cut.
it wouldn't happen because portland would of been to good to get the pick they used for lillard.
Lillard was traded as pick from Brooklyn to Portland Gerarld Wallace and others, so they still would have got him regardless on their own record.

Imagine how good that team would be if they had taken Durant over Oden!
This years MVP would of taken that team to the finals for sure.
Imagine if they picked Michael Jordan to pair with Clyde Drexler!

If teams had a crystal ball in 1984, the draft may have looked like this :
1. HOU Michael Jordan
2. POR Hakeem Olujuwon
3. CHI Charles Barkley
4. DAL. John Stockton
Crazy!

There's a story (possibly false) that Portland offered to trade Houston the No. 2 pick in the 84 draft AND Clyde Drexler for Ralph Sampson (the previous years No. 1 pick), but the Rockets said no.
So assuming they weren't stupid enough to draft Sam Bowie, Houston would have had Jordan, Olajuwon and Clyde the Glide together.
NBA Open Court said that the team that had everyone worried in the 90s was Orlando, with Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott.

Thunder could have had Curry (or Harden if you prefer), Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and Noah (instead of Jeff Green pick)
