Blazers had a top 50 all-time NBA SG already; it's not like it was a position of need.
Was gonna post the same thing when I saw yours.
I always laugh when people claim taking Bowie over MJ was a mistake. It wasn't.
The Blazers already had Drexler and needed a center. Bowie was the best available. They may have been able to win a title or 2 if his knees didn't fall off.
