Jordan was trying to recruit players before Jerry Krause arrived
Scottie Pippen turned out to be one of the top 50 players of all times and one of the best SF and defenders ever, he was also the Bulls best individual and team defenders and their playmaker and 2nd scorer. That’s huge.
Kukoc was at the time the best European player and the best 6th man in the NBA, he was also versatile, a left handed matchup nightmare and one of the most clutch shooters in the league.
Rodman was the beat rebounder and one of the best defenders in the league
James carried a sorry ass Cavs team to the Finals in 2007 , Jordan would have been swept in the 1st round with that roster
Despite that, their FO did nothing to improve the team, did you really expect Lebron to stick around and not win a ring?
Especially with the Celtics forming a big 3 (but Lebron did it first lol) he was never going to win the East with that Cavs team
I don’t know what universe you live in
Jordan would have teamed up if he could have before Krause saved his bald ass, it wasn’t easy to move like that back then with the CBA and contract structures. Jordan constantly and publicly threw the FO under the bus before Krause came along
Also, Lebron’s finals opponents >>>>>> MJ’s Finals opponents
Lebron is clearly the better basketball player, fast, bigger, stronger, better passer, can score with the best of them, can guard multiple positions, better 3 pt shooter, he would have destroyed Jordan if he played in the 90s
