6 Times Michael Jordan ALMOST Got Traded 

The mere thought of having Jordan, Hakeem and Clyde on a same team is scary ... Like really scary. Their own worst enemies would probably be themselves and chemistry... But if they somehow managed to adapt, they would be unstoppable and Op as hell...

Make this a series, especially those legends that are legit stayed at their franchise

The only way to break the Clippers curse is to send them Michael Jordan

Another title: 6 times MJ took it personally

6 times he was doubted, and he’s got a ring to show for each time 🤷‍♂️

This video is exactly why I watch this channel. If I want my daily analysis I tune in to Thinking Basketball or Coach Daniel but there is no better channel than this for the stories Basketball writes.

I figured all of these came from the 80’s portion of MJ’s career, If it were the 90’s Jerry Krause would be a deadman walking. LMAO, but this also shows you how GM’s can be impatient. Not saying all players can turn out to be the 🐐 but you just never know. Lol

Jordan, Hakeem, and Drexler on the same team? That would’ve been insane.

How good was Gail Goodrich a soild point guard and a key player for those 70s Lakers.

As a lifetime Rocket's fan, that Almost Ralph Sampson trade always sucks to hear.... We were this close to greatness lol

Might be crazy but I feel like if mj got traded we woulda saw another level with the way he takes shit personal(I know it sounds crazy)

damn if that rockets trade went through that really coulda been 8 straight chips

Who in their right minds would trade Michael Jackson?

Been watching since “Every nba team that blew a 3-1 lead” and had low subs. Nice to see him blowing up and doing good now

MJ and Charles Barkley on a team back then would've been a monster

Another great video Andy ty!

Your channel is straight fire. Very underrated. Keep up the good work bro.

If MJ was traded to the Clippers, he would've probably been cursed and not being the GOAT

Dominique is someone who’s tru tru potential we couldn’t see because of the era and the teams he was on

Andy upload = good day

another quality video thanks andy

THIS MAN DESERVES YOUR SUB

Andy don’t ever stop making videos please

That's the greatest topic chosen by Andy ever.

For as much shit Jordan and a lot of people give him Jerry Krause is having the last laugh you can see how much Jordan struggled in being a owner

Andy hoops 🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

U a legend bro

I traded him to the Detroit pistons in NBA live 2003...he was 39 tho

Love the content

Did Andy just finessed ayeeeee lol nice 👍🏻

That Houston trade would have been dope. What would have happened to Pippen?

"6 Michael Jordan trades that almost happened" would be a better title since most were on draft night.

Legit one of the best opening I've heard

I wonder how different the Nba would be if any of these trades happened?

2:09 not the first time i seen mike make the opposition shake lmaooo

Jordan to Houston would have been crazy.

That last trade with the Sixers sounds VERY enticing and intriguing...WHEW!

It would have been strange to see MJ on any other team besides the Bulls

Barkley might have at least 1 ring if the trade for Dr. J and MJ succeeded..

Can I suggest a video on Gus Williams the pg from the Sonics in the late 70s through the mid 80s. I feel like he played like a rookie Allen Iverson without the crossover and was a little taller. Plus he’s a great second rounder people don’t talk about

Interesting the rockets chose the twin towers over the two greatest shooting guards in there era to team with hakeem...that would've been at least a 10peat...but you can't fault them because they had the two greatest big men to come out of college in a long time back to back and thought it would be a devastating combination but ultimately failed in having a trifecta of alltime greats in there 1st and second yrs in the league...combined they won 9 championships and 8 finals mvps and made 11 finals appearances individually as opposed to one final appearance with the twin towers.

That 1988 Clipper deal was actually better than that: supposedly it was combination of any five players/picks they had. Let's say they took Cage, Benjamin, Woodson (arguably best three players clips had at the time) + both picks. They possibly counted on Mitch Richmond being there at #6. Having, say, a core of Smits (taken with #1 instead of manning), Richmond, Pippen, Oakley and Horace Grant would be pretty decent. Plus they'd still have their own pick and could take a point guard later on, like Strickland. Maybe not three-peat material, but would be interesting for sure.

Birds fly, fish swim, Andy says "How's going"

Still waiting for u to make that How good was Antawn Jamison actually video

Jordan and Wilkins could probably co-exist pretty well because Mike was an underrated playmaker

Once again Andy with the word "perennial" or is it parenial . How do you spell it? What does it mean?? I get the context but whats the definition of the word??

Can you make a video of the 2020 NBA Champions?

MJ for Tree Rollins- Dumb trade but entertaining since MJ and Dominique are showstoppers

“Settled on drafting Jordan” lol

Do this for Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, could be a legendary Series...

00:21 INSANE 😳😳😳

Rollins and oakley could’ve been a force front court

Drexler, Hakeem and Jordan .... jesus

MJ for Terry Cummings- The Clippers might still be in San Diego and are not that other LA team.

u forgot about the shawn bradley trade

hi andy

Whoever reads this, just a quick reminder, you are watching the Michael Jordan of the basketball community and basketball youtubers

Hawkins w manning and pippen intrigues me for pip as a number 1

The Drexler/Jordan/Olajuwon Rockets is my greatest WHAT IF.

Samson would have looked awesome in Portland. Houston would have had so many rings they wouldn't have known what to do with them, like 20 rings. LA, Boston and Detroit would have be unable to contend and no other team would ever be able to match that big 3 or their combined titles. I didn't know about the last trade, that was interesting. Philly did okay with Chuck as a consolation prize

i've read that jerry west annointed jordan, before he became a superstar the first player in a long time who reminded him, west, of himself. additionally i do recall jordan, as a rookie and in his hs years he was a laker and magic johnson fan plus he would often speak of the lakers with graceful admiration and the squad they had at the time and especially was more than aware they employed one of his "chosen five", unc teammate james worthy. also, i can't imagine dr. buss wishing and salivating to somehow get mj in a laker jersey and catapulting the value of the lakers into the stratosphere and somehow trade for or sign him. the only thing is i can't find any info that mentions any behind the scenes talk of the lakers wanting jordan. i'm sure there was some time in jordan's bulls years the lakers wanted him and especially what kind of market value that would translate to the laker brand and value but might anyone know if there was ever mention of that?? i remember when pj came to coach la the Times even had print he reached out to jordan to come out of retirement to join his squad. i read in fact, i believe a book by jackie mcmullen that he did give it serious thought and weighed the possibility with his precious time, but eventually backed out because he ultimately concluded his needs on his part to play his best game would not bode well with the dynamic of the laker roster and very likely would have been relegated to a third option behind shaq and kobe, if i recall correctly.

Rank the 10 greatest NBA rivals of the 2000s

Do a video where Philly drafted John Stockton instead of Leon Wood with the 10th pick in the NBA 1984 draft.

How good was elton brand please i beg of you

It's amazing to think if Jordan went to a smaller market or a better team where he wasnt the focal point, if he would be the Jordan we know today? Honestly I doubt it.

If the Bulls did trade Jordan for those two picks. Including theirs picks hat year. The best they could have drafted would be Mitch Richmond, Hersey Hawkins, Rod Strickland and John Stark.

MJ and Barkley can be a good duo too!

Hi Andy, who do you think is a better player? Lebron James or Tim Duncan?

How good was Šarunas Marčiulionis, the godfather of the eurostep

Never knew the bulls were thinking of trading MJ for chicago's own Terry Cummings aka preacher Man. And for the record TC was no slouch a sf/ of that had handles could shoot the midrange and post up. Him on the bulls would have been interesting seeing him ball for the home team

wow I never knew the sixers were trying to get Michael Jordan that bad on that draft night in 84 I'm a sixers fan and I personally would have loved to see that I really wish it went through back then it would have changed history dramatically for the 76ers.

man i am pissed at the rockets

Damn

U didn’t mention mike to Boston or ny as signings

My first thoughts: wtf, MJ getting traded?

They also wanted to trade Scottie in 95 for Shawn Kemp. Don't know whether the second three-peat would have happened with mike and the rainman, although im a big fan of both but Shawn kemp wasn't as good of a defender as pippen

That title sounds sooooooooo laughable, it drew me in, on that, alone. Andy, you're a marketing genius :)

Imagine if Jordan joined force with Bird and Magic. They will win more than 6 title.

If Houston would have did that trade, they could have won 8 to 10 rings.

And people criticizing players for of this generation for having control of their careers. They don't realize that there is much action behind the scenes as their is in the court. The management can easily decide at will what they are going to do to their players without any consent from them.

I almost got traded for MJ when i was 16

That rockets team would’ve been insane all of these teams would’ve been title winners

clippers offered any 5 assets from their team at one point

Do the moments when dirk almost got traded

The league should retire the number 23 #jordan

You forgot my favourite Jordan trade offer. Celtics offering a first round pick for the right to talk to MJ during his first retirement.

I was a little lost

If MJ would play on today's NBA, do you think that he would really demand a trade to go on a strong & competitive team just like what other NBA players like AD or Lebron did? Or would he become loyal from his team/franchise & stay there till he retire where he was drafted just like what Kobe, Dirk or Tim Duncan?

How good was Tracy Mcgrady?

Holy sh1t lmao, imagine young Hakeem, Drexler and MJ together.

I like how the Clippers offered for MJ. Two top 10 picks for MJ. Maybe if that trade happens, then he would only win 2 or 3 championships with LAC

The most interesting would be the Clippers trading their entire team for Jordan. Cause' then, Jordan would be the PG, SG, SF, PF, C, 6th man, role player, and heck, even be the benchwarmer of the team. Don't know about you, but that sounds pretty interesting to me.

Barkley wouldn't have been the same player if he went to the bulls. He's mentioned countless times how much Dr J and Moses Malone's mentorship helped his career in getting him to get in shape.

Can you do a trade video for Lebron?

Hakeem, MJ, and Clyde will be a talented team but who can be the small forward? MJ or Clyde?

You forgot about the time he almost got traded for the GOAT Alex Caruso

If they agreed to trade MJ they wouldn't have 6 rings

Shit! And then imagine A.I. coming to play with Jordan?

Jordan being traded would really have made him "take it personally"

All of these would’ve been insnae
