Magic said he wouldn't have played for the Bulls and stayed in school
Before the 1979 draft, there was a coin flip to determine who got the first overall pick....Lakers or Bulls.
Johnson (who was a sophomore) stated years later that if Bulls had won the flip, he would have stayed in school. He didn't want to play for them. He wanted to play with Kareem in LA
Say the Bulls win the flip an Magic stays in school.
The following year, Golden St. has the first overall pick. Does Magic hold out and stay in school for his senior year so he doesn't play for a team whose rebuilding? Which he'd obviously not wanting or afraid to do
The following year (Magic's done with NCAA) Dallas has the first overall pick. Does Johnson make sure he gets to the Lakers or a contender at all costs?

Pretty sure, unless rules were different back then , that by the time the lottery is done that you would be ineligible to go back to the NCAA.

There was no "lottery" back then. There was a coin flip because the Bulls and New Orleans Jazz (whose 1st round pick was acquired by the Lakers three years prior) were tied for the worst record. That coin flip was held in the April, before the school year even ended.

So the Jazz had the worst record even though they had traded their first three seasons before, presumably to get better. And that first round pick happens to be on the greatest ever.

We probably wouldn't have ended up with the GOAT then so thanks Magic
