You mean to tell me if one team didn't have one of its best players, the other team could have been closer to winning? Not actually winning, btw, just closer. Ground breaking analysis.

Uh, keep your panties on. They acquired him by good fortune at the trade deadline, he wasn't with them the whole year. Magic asked Lou where he'd rather play and gave him the option. Houston was lucky to get him

So, if Houston didn't make a savvy mid-season trade for one of the best 6th men in the league, OKC might have pushed it to Game 7?

It wasn't savvy, it was Magic doing a favor for Lou to try to make a certain perception of their new management.. to make a positive impression around the league
Not sure why you trying to be such a smart ***

And more importantly get rid of him to tank. That was the main motivation behind the deal.

Well yes, but the options were Houston, Utah and I think Memphis
Take a wild guess which Lou would pick ha ha ha

Wizards were in there as well, which is where I wanted him to end up.

Got all them teams lining up for Lou
Take nothing away from Houston for ending up with him. Lou got to choose and it couldn't have been a better fit
