Wow. What were giving up at that point? We weren't exactly dripping with talent. At least not the kind we could have easily given up for Charles.
Per Real GM, Worthy and Campbell for Chuck and Ron Anderson. And they ended up getting Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang and Tim Perry from the Suns.
Wow imagine if we'd traded Worthy. He only had about two years left. I wonder if he would still be working in our studio if he was traded? I mean people don't talk about it much, but he was one of those few stars that stayed in one spot his whole career.
It would've ensured the Lakers return to the Finals to face off against MJ again (Lakers lost to Chuck's Suns in 93). Would Vlade, Chuck (MVP year), Coach Scott, Threatt, and AC have been enough to defeat those Bulls? What would the Shaq 'n Chuck duo been capable of? Their first year together would've looked something like... Shaq/Knight/Blount Chuck/Horry Kearsey EJ/Scott/Kobe NVE/Scott/Fish Then if the Lakers had still given Rodman a chance...even if it failed thanks to Kurt, again. The sheer number of rebounds gobbled up between a 35 year old Chuck and a 37 year old Rodman would've been insane.
I remember the day...almost felt like the Chris Paul trade...almost. That would have been a steal for the lakers and its no wonder that Chuck started drinking early.
