Jordan OK’d a Scottie Pippen Trade You Won’t Believe
What if Scottie Pippen was traded during Michael Jordan’s retirement? Would Jordan have come back? If he did would the Chicago Bulls have won three more championships?
This was nearly a reality, per George Karl and his forth coming tell-all book, “Furious George.” The book chronicles Karl’s well traveled days in basketball, a story which has already uncovered tales from the New York Knicks’ superstar, Carmelo Anthony, and former star, Kenyon Martin.
In the book, Karl speaks about a trade that wasn’t, but apparently was (confusing, I know). In an attempt to rebuild a Bulls franchise that just lost Michael Jordan to retirement, Jerry Krause (then Bulls GM) proposed a deal to the Seattle Supersonics. A deal which would have shifted the power in the NBA for a long, long time.
