From what I went off, it says they were all on the one team. Usually basketball reference is pretty trustworthy. www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ORL/2011.html
yea but jason richardson and hedo went to the suns for vince carter rashard lewis for arenas and you should know you cant trade consecutive first round picks
Yeah dude, I'm a die-hard Vince fan. He was traded to the suns after 22 games in which he actually looked super promising, but he never played at the same time as J-Rich or Arenas.
No way! I'd pick LA in 7. Seriously, Boston vs. LA was a 50/50 series that took a serious knee tear to Kendrick Perkins in his ACL, MCL & PCL for the Lakers to eek out a 1 possession-victory in Game 7 in front of their home fans in Hollywood. Had Andrew Bynum not have come down on top of Perkins' knee in Game 6, Boston would've blown LA out in Game 7 on the road. The Celtics had Irish luck on their side to win a 50/50 series against those same Cavs that they were heavy underdogs against, Cleveland really did not play their best ball in that series thanks to Delonte West picking the worst time of the year to have a Wilt Chamberlain moment, sleeping w/ Lebron James' mother, causing Lebron to shoot his worst field goal %age of the season. Also, the Lakers would not have enjoyed the home court advantage against the Cavaliers that they did against the Celtics. I'd hesitantly pick LA in 7 over Cleveland because of Phil Jackson's coaching, but the Lakers were also lucky to have Andrew Bynum's tender knee hold up just enough amidst the meniscus tear, to be able to have the full complement of their big front line w/ also Odom & Gasol. But in 4?, not a chance. Come up w/ any team that swept Lebron Jame's team or beat it in fewer than 6 games in any of Lebron James' MVP seasons.
Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes "Bruh" is utterly disrespectful! If you want for me to acknowledge anything you have to say next time; start w/ being respectful.
Quikst3er No offense but what type of question is that? OKC had to trade Harden for Ibaka. That was the whole reason he left OKC anyways. He's a good defender and decent 3pt shooter. How am I supposed to know "how" thats kind of really stupid imo.
I think if Dwight Howard stayed in Orlando Magics people would still love him & respect him as one of the greatest centers in today's generation. Dwight Howard is strong compare to the new top centers in today's league & he's a very good shot blocker. So yeah that's just my opinion. . . . How bout you guuys?
Dwight is still a very good and talented player. 13 pts and 11 reb for your big man is pretty good. But his best shot at a Championship was with Orlando. That team was built perfectly for him. Dwight was a beast in the low post and was easily putting up 20+ pts and 10+ reb 2+ blks a game. Dwight is the go to option. If they double down on Dwight you kick it out. That team was loaded with 3 point shooters, Jameer who was all star caliber at the time. Hedo Turkeglu who was a 6'10 point forward who was a mismatch for anyone who was guarding him. Then you had 2 stretch 4's in Anderson and Lewis who opened up the paint for Dwight and you had Matt Barnes, Michael Pietrus and and J.J. Reddick. Perfect team for Dwight
If dwade wasn't so loyal then it could possibly happen. Wade to cavs in free agency 3 team deal Carmelo, CP3 , and Josh smith to cavs( melo and cp3 demand trade) Kyrie, Frye , Shumpert , Green, and a Clippers pick to Knicks Love, Thompson, Rivers, Jr, 2 cavs picks, and 2-4 Knicks first round picks
No matter what you say dude you're awesome the effort to make this is amazing, idont know how you do it. You should have a lot of subs a likes. Keep it up!
I have said it before, Dwight's biggest weakness is his mindset he should've focused more on his defensive skills than his non existent offensive skills. As a defensive player he could've been an all time great.
ReBorn HD Highlights he wont bc hes from atlanta and he's at the hawks but if he was from orlando or tampa or jacksonville (since the heat and magic are the only florida teams) he would join the magic
Where is the rebuilds Nick? That's my favorite series on you're channel! I also think that you should do a, "What If, Andrew Wiggins Never Got Traded" for a "NBA What If"!
15:15 actually no Heat probably would of came out on top after having the experience of playing a strong Magic team like this so Heat would of had a 75 percent chance of winning a three peat.
how do you make these videos?? so dope and very well done! it's not all farfetched fantasy even though it's still fantasy lol. must be alot of work. good shit bro!!
big mistake, carter played that amount of games for the magic before getting traded to the Suns, not that amount for the season... Carter spent only 1 full season with the magic ending up with a 59-23 record (same as previous season with Turk) also breaking the team 3pt record in a season, and losing to the Celtics in the semi finals. they then traded Carter, Lewis, Pietrus, and Gortat away for basically Arenas, Turk and Richardson... and went no where
Love these videos! Must be tough to make but they're really good. Keep u other good work nick, how about why if James Harden stayed in OKC. It would be a shirt probably but a good one no doubt
If Dwight Howard stayed in Orlando I think that LeBron would come to Orlando instead of Cleveland in 2014 offseason and the magic would beat the warriors in 7 games.
Why would the thunder select MCW instead of Steven Adams when we needed a better big man haha 😂 not the most accurately thought out lol but love the content.
Prayers for the people in Orlando.

+Seth Sinclair L
Interesting vid nick. Good job
Vince Carter was traded for Jason Richardson and Rashard Lewis was traded for Gilbert Arenas . they were never on the same team together
From what I went off, it says they were all on the one team. Usually basketball reference is pretty trustworthy. www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ORL/2011.html
+YO DADDY AND HE NEVER LEFT OOOOOOOOOO MY GOD PLZ DO A VIDEO ON THIS :D
yea but jason richardson and hedo went to the suns for vince carter
rashard lewis for arenas and you should know you cant trade consecutive first round picks
+Nick Smith dude Vince Carter was traded for Jason Richardson... Vince Carter played alongside Steve Nash..where do you get your sources from?
Yeah dude, I'm a die-hard Vince fan. He was traded to the suns after 22 games in which he actually looked super promising, but he never played at the same time as J-Rich or Arenas.
You should do a what if Andrew Wiggins was never traded
That would be to short of a video
What if Tim Duncan was picked up by the 76ers instead of the spurs
yes!!!
It's to early to ask this question
What if The Lakers faced the Cavs in 2009/2010?
Cavs would have got swept
+LOGIC-_-BLAZE Cavs might have won a game in 09, but in '10 they would have been obliterated.
They would of lost 4-0 easy sweep for LA
No way! I'd pick LA in 7. Seriously, Boston vs. LA was a 50/50 series that took a serious knee tear to Kendrick Perkins in his ACL, MCL & PCL for the Lakers to eek out a 1 possession-victory in Game 7 in front of their home fans in Hollywood.

Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes "Bruh" is utterly disrespectful! If you want for me to acknowledge anything you have to say next time; start w/ being respectful.
What if Harden was still with OKC
Okc would not have chocked
+Ilyas Unlu They would have to lose an Ibaka though..... Ibaka got traded with Harden.
+TwistedCrazze how?
Quikst3er No offense but what type of question is that?
OKC had to trade Harden for Ibaka. That was the whole reason he left OKC anyways. He's a good defender and decent 3pt shooter.
How am I supposed to know "how" thats kind of really stupid imo.
TwistedCrazze chill out damn i didn't know how Ibaka was on the team before him but got traded
Another great vid Nick!
Atleast 1 NBA title.
Stayed ahead of the Heat in the Southeast Division, before the Atlanta Hawks rose in that division.
Great imagination bro! Love your vids man!
What if James harden could play defense
CJ the Parrot dead meme
@@captainwilts2244 I mean he said it 2 years ago so like it wasn't dead back then dumb idiot
Ur a beast youtuber!! keep up the good work!
I think if Dwight Howard stayed in Orlando Magics people would still love him & respect him as one of the greatest centers in today's generation. Dwight Howard is strong compare to the new top centers in today's league & he's a very good shot blocker. So yeah that's just my opinion. . . . How bout you guuys?
Pesos Coróña i agree young fella
2011 going to the heat shook the league huge
What if Kwame Brown didn't bust
stop requesting sexual things
He's not a bust tho...GOAT
29-16-4 blocks
You are entering Fantasy genre now.. :D
Kwame's a scrub. Scalabrine brought my Bulls 6 titles. 6>>>>0
What if Anthony Davis stayed in Kentucky until his Senior Year
Tf
+Parth Vader lmao
+Parth Vader exactly tf
That's actually a great idea
Lol wtf why
What if Cleveland didn't win the 2014 lottery
no kevin love
what?
HighTop Gaming are u stupid
This is such a good series keep it up Nick!!
"Carmelo would pair quite nicely with James Harden"
Me: TFFFF---"
"Team No-Defense"
Me: Oh-okay.
what worked for the magic was having 1 superstar and like 5-8 solid role players and another all star or 2 that weren't amazing but good starters
been waiting for this for a while
Same
Dwight is still a very good and talented player. 13 pts and 11 reb for your big man is pretty good. But his best shot at a Championship was with Orlando. That team was built perfectly for him.

What if cp3, dwade, Melo, and Lebron were all on the same team
No
If dwade wasn't so loyal then it could possibly happen.
Wade to cavs in free agency
3 team deal
Carmelo, CP3 , and Josh smith to cavs( melo and cp3 demand trade)
Kyrie, Frye , Shumpert , Green, and a Clippers pick to Knicks
Love, Thompson, Rivers, Jr, 2 cavs picks, and 2-4 Knicks first round picks
they wil destroys the gsw
+doseofnba lol loyal.
No matter what you say dude you're awesome the effort to make this is amazing, idont know how you do it. You should have a lot of subs a likes. Keep it up!
I love Dwight Howard nohomo that's my favorite player in the NBA
Dwight got traded, he didn't have an option to re sign
What if Carmelo stayed in Denver
Correction - Dwight Howard didn't play against the pacers when orlando faced them in the first round of the playoffs
I have said it before, Dwight's biggest weakness is his mindset he should've focused more on his defensive skills than his non existent offensive skills. As a defensive player he could've been an all time great.
What If every NBA player ever was required to go to college and play all 4 years before declaring for the NBA Draft
i think he should go back that team is set with him as a edition they're definitely a playoff team with him.
*addition
they already have vucevic
+ReBorn HD Highlights Hell no they ain't Dwight is not what he used to be
welp. he went to the hawks.
ReBorn HD Highlights he wont bc hes from atlanta and he's at the hawks but if he was from orlando or tampa or jacksonville (since the heat and magic are the only florida teams) he would join the magic
great timing for this video after what happened there today
What if the Celtics won the 1997 NBA Draft lottery instead of the Spurs?
YAS
Or 2007
Or 2007
NO plz (╥﹏╥)
Mike Dilullo Then the Celtics would have been the Spurs of the 2000's
If he stayed he would be a beast
How come all what if scenarios I watch involves Andre Iguodala on their rebuild line up? Haha
What if Andrew Bynum did not have injuries and never left LA
Been waiting this a big Orlando fan I wish they still had their nice lineup
Where is the rebuilds Nick? That's my favorite series on you're channel! I also think that you should do a, "What If, Andrew Wiggins Never Got Traded" for a "NBA What If"!
15:15 actually no Heat probably would of came out on top after having the experience of playing a strong Magic team like this so Heat would of had a 75 percent chance of winning a three peat.
LeBron always had a tough time against Dwight in Orlando. Dwight consistently beat him. With Andre, a series would definitely go more than 5 games.
what if Dwight got a bigger jersey size,tight ass Orlando jersey
what if Steve Nash didn't go back to the sun's and stayed in Dallas?
This late asf but me looking back with that bruh sound affect when they drafted embiid
what if Steve Francis chose to play with the vancouver grizzlies
how do you make these videos?? so dope and very well done! it's not all farfetched fantasy even though it's still fantasy lol. must be alot of work. good shit bro!!
what if the bulls didn't get d rose in the 2008 draft?
No injuries
He probably wouldn’t have torn his ACL.
Good job I watched like two what if videos and I liked and subscribed
big mistake, carter played that amount of games for the magic before getting traded to the Suns, not that amount for the season... Carter spent only 1 full season with the magic ending up with a 59-23 record (same as previous season with Turk) also breaking the team 3pt record in a season, and losing to the Celtics in the semi finals. they then traded Carter, Lewis, Pietrus, and Gortat away for basically Arenas, Turk and Richardson... and went no where
Facts. Dude didn't do his research.
What if the Gasol brothers never swapped teams (Pau from Memphis to LA and Marc from LA to Memphis)
What if Deandre Jordan signed with Dallas
should be what if Howard never had that back injury
What if Steve Nash never left the sun
need another one!! you should do a "What if Kevin Durant got drafted by the Trailblazers" or "What if Brandon Roy didn't get injured"
What if Danny Granger never declined due to injuries
this video is brilliant. keep up the good work bro
I really wish Otis Smith didn't fuck up my team
Rip Orlando 😞😔
what if James harden never left
Great idea
yea
thanks
You mean never traded
I came here from CSB and you two are my 2 favorite youtubers y'all Both deserve 1 mill+ subs this may get lost but ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I noticed that a lot of orlando players that are or were really good always leave
You know our struggle, it's really sad
+Cafield Lawes once a decade kobe takes a center from orlando
Nick can you make more rebuild battles please bro
Do a what if Lebron stay in Cleveland
+afunkydiabetic did one
Who’s here after Embiid won mvp?
He'd have been killed in a club
Smh
really?
I hate the internet
Lmaoooo
Love these videos! Must be tough to make but they're really good. Keep u other good work nick, how about why if James Harden stayed in OKC. It would be a shirt probably but a good one no doubt
Warriors would not win 2015 finals. Nobody would be able to slow down Lebron on that team considering they don't have Iggy
what if kobe and dwight did not have beef and had good chemistry and no injuries?
What if raptors drafted iggy
Do a what if Penny Hardaway didnt get injured and shaq stayed with orlando
if chris paul never left the new orleans hornets/pelicans
Eh
me 2
+Laquan Charles The hornets got AD because Paul left
He did that I think
+Forrest Weintraub nah cuz if he stays they might get more wins and not get the number one or draft pick it is a good idea tho
14:01 how is it the finals when it's 2 Eastern Conference teams?
What if James harden never left okc
What if Andrew Bynum was actually good for the sixers
What if Kobe wasn't traded
Someone done that
+C MoNeY nick already did it
Finally a what if where the 76ers are somewhat successful!
What if the crazy Celtics-Nets trade never happened?
If ur talking about pierce and kg, the celtics did it for the cap cause they were aging
What if Brandon Roy and Greg Oden from the Trail Blazers stayed healthy
Afflalo already played for the magic
He played for them through the Dwight Howard 4 team trade to the Lakers. But that trade never happened. So he stayed in Denver.
+Nick Smith Can you do What if the Heat drafted Westbrook over Michael Beasley?
+Nick Smith can you do a what if on Brandon Roy never getting injured
+Justin Miranda Yes
+Nick Smith how about what if Lebron James never left Cleveland 2010 summer
If Dwight Howard stayed in Orlando I think that LeBron would come to Orlando instead of Cleveland in 2014 offseason and the magic would beat the warriors in 7 games.
What if James Harden never got traded
Great vids man.. Great to hear an Aussie accent haha
What If LeBron James was a bust?
LMAO
💯💯💯 good one
What if he wasn't?
+Castill0 savage 😭😂💀
yo that's actually a crazy thing to think about ! lmao that means the East is up for grabs for all those years
So this video was pointless as Dwight still ends up with no rings
I know I'm just dreaming but what if LeBron, Wade & possibly Bosh went to Chicago in the 2010 off season?
We would've won 82 games
SeeRed21 Yea regular season & playoffs put together
+Z Smoove what ifs have to be at least a little bit realistic
AngelSurge SSX do you know how much cap space Chicago had in 2010? How do you think they got Boozer, Brewer, Korver & Watson?
+Z Smoove no but I mean there's no way all three of them would have gone to the Bulls
man I love these videos there so accurate and informative

Appearently someone doesn't like Gays...

Why would the thunder select MCW instead of Steven Adams when we needed a better big man haha 😂 not the most accurately thought out lol but love the content.
What If Kobe went to college
Do a "What if Dwight and Shaq were on the magic at the same time"
To be honest, as a rockets fan Dwight did nothing with us.
your telling me
Facts
When he was healthy he was probably a top 5 center bud hahaha did you see him in the playoffs last year?
+King Ham He played? 😂
He barley got the ball
To tell the truth. i liked dwight when he was in orlando. But i would have traded him a while ago in your senario
Steve Nash in his prime is better than Chris Paul.
no way
Yes way
Debatable
Hell no
better passer, thats about it
Lol Nick Smith said Carmelo would really fit with James Harden "TEAM NO DEFENSE" hahahha
What if Jason Richardson stayed in one team(warriors) and didn't go into a decline
Do a what if Yao Ming never got injured .
Love your vids Nick
