Why didn t the Trail Blazers choose Jordan?

In '84, why didn't the Trail Blazers, who held the list of signs, choose Jordan?

The fact that I didn't choose Jordan is mainly related to demand. There are several reasons for this.

1. Background of the times.

The 80s is the era of rampant centers, the basketball of giants used to be, the world of long men, and the three-point shot has just been introduced. Although the Rockets had the top pick in '84 and chose Olajuwon, the Trail Blazers still tend to choose the inside, which is created by the times, because players like Jordan, who have not been proven in that era, are difficult to lead the team further in the league of giants, and everyone does not believe it and is skeptical.

2. The Trailblazers lack an inside line.

The reason why the Trail Blazers didn't choose Jordan is that in addition to having Drexler on the team (the same position as Jordan), the Trail Blazers also lack a strong interior player, and without an interior player, the Trail Blazers know that it is difficult for the team to go far, whether it is an excuse or not, but it is the truth. What's more, Bowe's performance in college was not bad, in his freshman year, Bowe sat on the team's main center with an average of points and rebounds per game, and in his sophomore year, Bowe's average points per game rose to points and rebounds, and he once gave opponents 9 blocks in a game. There is no reason why the Trail Blazers should not choose Bowe, just like in 07, the Trail Blazers, who held the No. 1 pick, chose Oden and missed Durant, but even if it is a hundred more times, the Trail Blazers will still choose the former.

It's just that no one could have imagined that Bowe and Oden both fell in front of injuries, and who could calculate the unknown thing of injury.

3. Unpredictable unknown factors.

Seriously, after the Bulls selected Jordan, who could have calculated that Jordan would be able to create two dynasties and become recognized as the first person in history, no, no one could have predicted that there are countless examples like this. We're just hindsight, and who could have predicted that basketball would develop into what it is today, the cross center is out of place in modern basketball, and it is difficult to survive, and in those days, it was the era when the center was popular. Therefore, the reason why the unknown is unknown lies in the uncertainty.

Mainly because the Trail Blazers already have a very good quarterback, there is no need to choose another quarterback.

Because the Trail Blazers already have the same point guard as Jordan, there's no need to pick another one.

Back then, the Trail Blazers lacked excellent interior players, and they used to be the ones who won the world, and there were many players in the same position as Jordan, and there were only three points that began, and they didn't pay attention to it, and no one thought that it would be Jordan's king center later.

At that time, the NBA was still the world of big centers, and it was easy to understand that the Trail Blazers chose a tall center in response to the trend of the times.

The Trail Blazers will regret it, but the Rockets may not! We all know that Michael Jordan, a generation of legends, is the greatest player of NBA history, making countless basketball fans and even sports fans crazy! At the beginning of this year, Jordan's personal documentary "The Last Dance" was launched around the world, which also aroused many people's scramble!

Jordan's contribution to the entire NBA is obvious to all! At his peak, his excellent strength, proud of the others, at a glance of the mountains, can be described as unsurpassed! It's just that to the surprise of many people, Jordan is not the champion show in 1984!

That's right, both the Trail Blazers and the Rockets had the opportunity to choose Jordan at that time, but they both missed out on the "God of Basketball"! Later, the management of the Trail Blazers, after Jordan won his first three consecutive championships, publicly said in an interview;

If he could travel back to the scene of the original draft, he would definitely give himself a hard slap in the face at that time, and then, choose Jordan! It's a pity that history has no ifs, even if the Trail Blazers regret it, the wood is already in the boat, Jordan, has become a legend of the Bulls!

So, will the Rockets also be sad that they missed Jordan? I'm afraid not! Because although the Rockets missed Jordan, they also selected a rare center in history who can be called the top center in NBA history.

This is also a **mountain-level emperor superstar!

Olajuwon's strength doesn't need to be repeated at all! In the two years when Jordan retired to play baseball, it was Olajuwon who led the Rockets to stage the Black Eight Miracle and finally won two championship trophies! To this day, he is still a hero of Houston and the first person in the history of the Rockets!

The so-called "a hundred birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand". Jordan is great, but for the Rockets, they have big dreams, which is already their luck! Even if Big Dream is slightly inferior to Jordan, they have nothing to regret!

The Rockets have no regrets, the Rockets chose Olajuwon first, and later Olajuwon also won two championships with the Rockets, proving that their choice was not wrong. The Trail Blazers should regret that they missed Jordan.

The Rockets didn't choose Jordan back then, and they wouldn't regret it, after all, they chose Olajuwon. If you do it again, the file letter will still choose Olajuwon. The Trailblazers may regret it. But after all, that's the rules of the game.

I'm going to regret it. Jordan dominated the NBA for several seasons, and every team wanted him.

Will win the championship. If the Trail Blazers draft Jordan and Durant, then they will be considered shit luck and win the championship.

With these two superstars, the Trail Blazers would be invincible and would win a championship.

The Trail Blazers may have become the top team in the league, having already won several championships.

This was due to the limitations of the year, when the big man players were particularly popular, Bowe showed no less strength than the big man, and the Trail Blazers were in dire need of an interior at the time.

Because the Trail Blazers already had a guard at the time, they needed a center even more.

As for Durant, it's simply impossible。After all, the draft champion of the year was Oden, no matter how history repeats itself, the draft champion of the year will only be Oden, because his dominance on the inside line and his future growth are highly visible to the naked eye, he is definitely a historical figure, and Durant has no way to compete with Oden.

If the Trail Blazers had chosen Jordan Adu back then, the Trail Blazers would have won a lot of championships.

The Trail Blazers will have a lot of achievements and glorious moments, leading the Trail Blazers into the ranks of strong teams and coming out on top.

The Trail Blazers' team history could be even more glorious. But basketball is not a one-man game, and Jordan and Durant both need the help of their teammates.

On July 16, Beijing time, the American media posted a composite of the "God of Basketball" Jordan and the current top supergiant Durant wearing the Trail Blazers jersey**, and the American media also asked: "Just imagine, if the Trail Blazers chose Jordan Durant back then?" As we all know, during Jordan and Durant's respective NBA draft periods, the Trail Blazers had very high NBA first-round picks at that time, but the Trail Blazers did not choose Jordan and Durant in these two NBA drafts, but selected Sam Bowie and Greg Oden.

In 1984, the Trail Blazers held the No. 2 pick, and when Olajuwon had already locked in the No. 1 No. 1 spot, the Trail Blazers ignored Michael Jordan, the best player in NBA history, and instead used their No. 2 pick on Sam Bowway, who is 2.16 meters tall. In 2007, the Trail Blazers got the NBA No. 1 pick this time, but compared with the super rookie Durant, the Trail Blazers management was more optimistic about Oden in the same class, and finally Oden was selected by the Trail Blazers with the first pick, and Durant was obtained by the SuperSonics with the second pick.

To be honest, whether in the 90s or in today's league, the Trail Blazers' team is quite good, and they are not an NBA underdog. Therefore, if the Trail Blazers can really have historical supergiants like Jordan and Durant, at the peak of Jordan and Durant's leadership, the Trail Blazers may win the championship trophy in the playoffs. Of course, whether or not you can win 6 championship trophies is a matter of opinion.

But what is certain is that under the leadership of Jordan and Durant, the Trail Blazers will definitely not have only 1 championship in team history like now!

The Trail Blazers' draft vision is notoriously poor in the NBA, and they have selected parallel players many times, and if Jordan and Durant are selected at that time, the Trail Blazers will create their own dynasty and become a team with championship heritage.

There will be a particularly high achievement, and the Trail Blazers will have won at least three championships a long time ago, as long as the team doctor does not die.

According to NBA reporter Mark, the Clippers and the Trail Blazers have been discussing the Jordan Jr. trade recently, and both parties are relatively satisfied with the deal and are expected to reach a deal! The Clippers haven't had any player who can't be traded since they traded Griffin, and the Clippers have made up their minds to rebuild, and their goal this year is to build a completely different Clippers in free agency this summer. Therefore, the trade of Jordan Jr. and Lowe with the most trade rumors in the team will be completed in these days, before the trade deadline!

Previously, the Clippers were talking about Jordan Jr. with the Rockets, and the Clippers wanted the Lion to open their mouths to exchange Jordan Jr. for Capela and Gordon of the Rockets, Capela as a young interior line in the Rockets is also gradually growing up, Gordon is naturally the best sixth man of the Rockets, and Jordan Jr. does not have the ability to score 3 points and does not fit the team's system, so the Rockets are still not very happy with this transaction! I wonder if this step will miss a good opportunity to defeat the Warriors.

The other is that the Cavaliers' enthusiasm for Jordan Jr. can be said to have never diminished, but the Cavaliers have traded too many players this year and are currently full, and the team wants to pay Jordan Jr.'s salary, and the chips given to the Clippers are only Thompson and Shambaugh at most, two old players, which are not in line with the appetite of the Clippers, and it seems that the trade between the Cavaliers and the Clippers will be very low!

For the Trail Blazers, Lillard and McCollum's ability to develop a two-gun backcourt is not bad in the league, and the team's interior is basically only Nurkic sometimes has a bright performance, so improving the quality of an interior line is very suitable for the Trail Blazers Jordan Jr. At present, the Trail Blazers and Clippers are still negotiating, and I wonder if the Rockets and Cavaliers will regret losing this powerful interior line!
