Put rookie MJ and Bird on the 04-05 Bobcats. How many championships do they win?

[fpliii]

Rest of the team, as well as coaches remain the same.

Just to be clear:

04-05 CHA + 84-85 MJ & 79-80 Bird
05-06 CHA + 85-86 MJ & 80-81 Bird
06-07 CHA + 86-87 MJ & 81-82 Bird
07-08 CHA + 87-88 MJ & 82-83 Bird
08-09 CHA + 88-89 MJ & 83-84 Bird
09-10 CHA + 89-90 MJ & 84-85 Bird
10-11 CHA + 90-91 MJ & 85-86 Bird
11-12 CHA + 91-92 MJ & 86-87 Bird
12-13 CHA + 92-93 MJ & 87-88 Bird
13-14 CHA + 93-94 MJ (retired) & 88-89 Bird (out for year)

What do you guys think?

[Demitri98]

2010-11 would be a nightmare. '91 MJ and '86 Bird?

[SHAQisGOAT]

Same roster as they had in a certain season, just adding Jordan and Bird? That wouldn't happen because they would just build from the ground up with them and then "keep" the team, but I can really predict what they would've done so I'm just gonna add Larry and Michael to the respective rosters.

Between 05-08 it's hard to say because the Bobcats didn't have a good team and Jordan and Bird weren't at their absolute best yet... However Larry was already a very impactful player (turned a bad team around, instantly, and was champ by his 2nd year) and MJ was already a beast (winning scoring titles, MVP, DPOY). East was not strong at all also, still chemistry needs to be built as well, but I'm gonna say at least a ring in those 4 seasons.
After it...

->2009

Felton
89 MJ / J-Rich
G. Wallace
84 Bird / Diaw
Okafor

Champs

->2010

similar as to above but with Chandler and Cap'n Jack instead of Okafor and Richardson... 85 Bird and 90 MJ (assuming Larry doesn't get injured in the post-season)

Champs

->2011

Augustin
91 MJ
86 Bird
Diaw
Kwame

91 MJ and 86 Bird?

Champs

-2012

team was really shitty but with 92 MJ plus 87 Bird... turns your team into clear contenders

>Contenders

-2013

team was a bit better than before but also bad... ofc you got prime Jordan and Bird, you got something to say

>Contenders


So, overall, I'd say 4 rings but I could easily see more.

Building around them from the ground up? I say 6 rings, in those 9 seasons, maybe more.

[senelcoolidge]

These two legends surrounded by garbage would be contenders and champs during their run.

Just to be clear:

04-05 CHA + 84-85 MJ & 79-80 Bird
05-06 CHA + 85-86 MJ & 80-81 Bird
06-07 CHA + 86-87 MJ & 81-82 Bird
07-08 CHA + 87-88 MJ & 82-83 Bird
08-09 CHA + 88-89 MJ & 83-84 Bird
09-10 CHA + 89-90 MJ & 84-85 Bird
10-11 CHA + 90-91 MJ & 85-86 Bird
11-12 CHA + 91-92 MJ & 86-87 Bird
12-13 CHA + 92-93 MJ & 87-88 Bird

Definite championships in BOLD ... the rest, is possible.

[Soundwave]

They'd win a lot.

Basically having 2 star players makes you a contender, having 2 superstar players almost makes you a shoe in for a title at some point. Having 2 of arguably the top 5-6 players ever to play both in their prime together is pretty much total domination.

[Collie]

Goddamn 91 MJ and 86 Bird? That 10-11 Bobcats would be GOAT.

[Milbuck]

I would do sick, degrading things to see 91 Jordan and 86 Bird on the same team taking on Wade and Lebron's Heat in 2011 in the ECF. Holy shit.

[dubeta]

They would probably win 2 rings in every 5 years
