If the Sonics drafted Pippen and Grant, there wouldn't be a chance they get the #2 pick for Payton. I think Kemp was drafted 17, so there would still be a chance for that.
34. Scottie Pippen, Seattle Sonics (No. 5, 1987)
Wait … Scottie Pippen was a great choice! … except the Sonics (who had acquired the pick from the Knicks for Gerald Henderson) had a deal with the Bulls for the No. 8 pick: They would draft Pippen and trade him to Chicago for Olden Polynice. So that's what happened. To make matters worse, the Sonics drafted Derrick McKey at No. 9 while the Bulls drafted Horace Grant at No. 10.
In the next couple of years, the Sonics would draft Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp … hmm, you think a lineup of Payton, Pippen, Kemp and Grant couldn't have won three or four les in the '90s? It does suck being a Seattle sports fan.
Didnt realize this.
