Yes i think they both would have won true it takes a good front office but as you seen a mistake can set you back a couple of years but they would have won but not off the bat.magic was a 6'9'' point guard so.. im gonna say yea
bird could shoot so yea.. idk if they would have multiple championships but a ring isn't a big reach.
bird wouldn't have been shyt
magic would of been gone out of the league in 2 years
Magic avg 15 7 8 at 37 years with the Lakers in 96. How does he get kick out of the league in 2 years.Magic avg 15 7 8 at 37 years with the Lakers in 96. How does he get kick out of the league in 2 years.

but for real, Bird and Magic were fukking INSULATED by those teams and clearly being "placed" there paid off in then end. They were the bridge to bringing the NBA mainstream after the NBA/ABA "merger" so it makes sense they landed where they did. You take the league's historically marquee teams and built them up with fresh legs
