I never heard of this before. They had just signed Perkins and had this offer on the table. The front court would have been Divac, Perkins , Worthy and Williams. |

I remember that like it was yesterday. I also recall AC, Byron and Worthy for Hakeem. But back then, I got my news and rumors from the paper and Fred Roggin. LOL! I don't think that Hakeem rumor was even close to fruition. |

I thought it was the Cavs who said no to that deal at the time. There was also the Barkley for Worthy and Campbell deal that was agreed to in 1992 but 76ers turned it down last minute. Another was Van Exel for Kidd trade. The countless Mitch Richmond for Eddie Jones proposals. Another consistent target was Christian Laettner. The countless opportunities to acquire Scottie Pippen. Rumors rumors and more rumors. |

Oh yeah, and it was the season after that Nick did his infamous "Cancuun Chant" and he was shipped off for peanuts.. _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

Wayne Embry: "Secondly, we're not looking to move Ehlo. We really can't afford to trade him. That's all I'm going to say about this."
--
Embry must've believed or known Cavsfan really liked seeing combinations of Ehlo, Price, Kerr, and Ferry against the Bulls (Craig vs Mike in most of those) because they played each other 5x a year in the RS and 4x in the playoffs between 87 and 93, with Clev losing all 4. He saw way too many games before finally acquiring Gerald Wilkins to know he had a scary athleticism deficit against da Bullz. Not that Gerald could do sh to stop Mikey, either, but the attempt to do something about Ehlo having to guard him came too late. Not even saying that Ehlo didn't do a good job considering, but the attempt to break up that mix never came. They traded Kevin Johnson and Ron Harper to create it. Williams was soft, too. Bloated koncak they gave him. Daugherty always hurt. I liked Mark Price as a player. Had a real one year window to make some playoff noise before The Shot. Then he blew his ACL and gradually lost a lot of the speed that helped him split thru doubles and run breaks. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL
