Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Mavs2021]

Yeah they were soooo stacked! So stacked that when Jordan went to play baseball they were just slightly above average in the league. 

My point is that Jordan chanced excellence. LeBron chases adoration.

They finished 3rd in the East with 55 wins, two games off the #1 seed. Lost in seven games to the Knicks, who lost in seven games in the NBA finals. And Jordan retired so abruptly before the season there was no time to even get a decent replacement, otherwise they might have won the whole thing again without MJ. You sure have some weird perception of slightly above average.

In 1994/1995 they finished 5th (with Jordan joining late) losing to the top seed in the East, who went to the NBA finals.
