wha t if ??
In 1976, the bucks picked the best PG in the draft a and passed on a hall of fame center. Why? because they thought kareem would stay forever. and then kareem left the following year, and the lakers gave teh Bucks a couple of guards and forwards and picks in return.
Just think if the bucks had not looked at their team roster before making that pick. they could have drafted robert Parrish instead of Quinn Bucker. if the Bucks had robert parrish, they would not have a need t o draft benson and could have drafted Marques johnson and Oti birdsong or Walter Davis instead.
you're exactly right major. one thing leads to another. one drafting or trade will trigger another.
but if you compare straight up this bucks team with chris paul not bogut - everything else remaining the same - then that could be really ugly. imagine the locker room with mo wanting court time, sessions needing to develop... not to mention the hole in the middle.
i'm not sure we'd be in much better shape. we'd be a piece away from being a playoff team, just like we are now.
