What if the Cavs traded Mark Price instead of Kevin Johnson?

Mark Price and KJ are kinda 2 of the biggest what if’s from that era. Damn shame they couldn’t have stayed healthier longer.

History is cruel to the second best.

I mean, just someone like Dominque Wilkins who is basically Zion, people don't really care, despite Nique being one of the most athletic dunkers of all time, who was actually also a good player.

Go read Barkley’s autobiography from 1990. He actually straight disses the Cavs and Mark Price saying Cleveland chose the wrong PG. lol.

Barkley was a dumbass and buffoon until he got older. Probably just racism, seemed to be a lot of anti-white racism in the 1980s. He got wiser later on.

KJ was an undersized 2/3 at heart, thru and thru. He just played PG. Literally couldn’t shoot the 3 at all. Barely ever attempted them due to being so bad at 3’s. Could poke it on your PF/C tho, which is great for fan excitement when a small guy puts a facial on the opp big.

Price was an actual PG.

Both very good, borderline great players.
I’d take Price due to much better shooting, league leading FT shooting (4th q really pays to have a 95%FT handling ball) , superior passing in half court, much more willing passer in open court, much better versatility offensively, and every bit as good of defense as KJ.
