    Draft Chris Paul. Blazers still bad enough to probably get Aldridge and Roy.

    If we win in 2007. Draft Durant.

    Everything going perfectly

    CP3
    Brandon Roy
    Durant
    Aldridge

    I think Roy would have had a longer career not having to carry the load.

    3. Have Houston's GM trade Ralph Sampson to Portland for their 2nd pick in the 1984 draft.
    This.

    It was said they were also offering Clyde Drexler. Can you imagine if Rockets actually made that trade and drafted Michael Jordan with the 2nd pick? Our big 3 would've been Hakeem, MJ, and Drexler. Oh my god, what could've been.

    Didn't Eddie Gotlieb orchestrate territorial drafts for the sole purpose of drafting Chamberlain? Meaning... wouldn't convincing Wilt to go to a Boston school be useless because if that happened Gotlieb wouldn't have convinced everyone a "territorial draft" was a good idea in the first place? He's the one who started the whole motion. I'm actually not clear on exactly when he did this though, if he did it before Wilt actually had committed somewhere and just was HOPING it would work as a gamble I guess it wouldn't matter, but if he did it in hindsight knowing Wilt would go to his team than I don't think convincing Wilt to go anywhere else would effect where he'd be drafted.

    Anyways, I'd try and change anyone dying/being seriously harmed. Len Bias, Maurice Stokes. The Maurice Stokes story is just plain awful. I'm sure the Bias one isn't much better but the Stokes one choked me up when I watched the documentary on him.

    Don't let Len Bias do coke

    Make the Blazers draft Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie.

    Make the Blazers draft Kevin Durant instead of Sam Bowie 2.0

    Couple of things, never let Nash go. I understand why we did it and it probably was necessary for both to get better but it would have been fun to have him with the new rules.

    Correct the officiating from the 06 finals.

    Get dirk a healthy tyson for Tyson's whole career.

    Bulls take Karl Malone (with the #11 pick) in the 1985 draft.

    Lakers draft Sam Cassell (with the #12 pick) in the 1993 draft.

    Pistons draft Carmelo Anthony (with the #2 pick) whilst Nuggets take Darko Milicic (with the #3 pick) in the 2003 draft.

    Lakers draft Paul Millsap (with the 26th pick) in the 2006 draft.

    Grizzlies take Ricky Rubio (with the #2 pick), Timberwolves take Stephen Curry and DeMar DeRozan (with the #5 & #6 pick), and Warriors take Brandon Jennings (with the #7 pick) in the 2009 draft.

    Timberwolves draft DeMarcus Cousins (with the #4 pick) in the 2010 draft.

    LeBrob James joins the Knicks instead of the Heat, plays with Amare Stoudemire, and Knicks never trade for Melo.

    Timberwolves draft Jimmy Butler (with the #2 pick) in the 2011 draft.

    LeBron never goes back to the Cavs, Melo joins the Bulls, and Josh Smith joins the Heat.
