Rice doesn't get shipped away to Charlotte and we acquire Zo and later on Timmy from Golden State. How good would we have been?

We only got Zo b/c we traded Rice. And if you want to say how do we do with Rice and Hardaway instead of Zo, then I say much worse

The thread title reads "Hypothetical 90's" for a reason. I'm well aware of the trade for Zo because I was watching the Heat back then. Just want your opinions on how good we would have been if we had all 3.

Well to answer that question we lose to the bulls in 96 and then 97 - 00 would likely be much more successful. I have to assume we get past the knicks more than they get past us which means we are likely to go to at least 1 or 2 NBA finals.

I don't know how Rice fits with this team but obviously you imagine having an elite scorer on the court would be beneficial in those 65 - 65 games against the knicks.
