Jordan/Pippen/Horace Bulls would have been an interesting matchup for the Rockets. They had no one to even contend with Dream. However that was it, I don’t think Dream carries them to the title in 94. Bulls take it. That cause Clyde not to come to Houston and he goes chasing rings elsewhere. Rockets don’t even reach the Finals. I think the Suns make it in 95 and finally beat MJ. That leads to Rodman coming in.

Jordan stays one more year and in a strike shortened season, Bulls take it in 99. Puts Jordan 8-1 in the Finals!

If Jordan never retires, the second three peat never happens. There would have been major contractual/money issues coming into play and it would have been likely Pippen would have left and Rodman would never have come. They easily win in 94. In 95 they get dunked on and it’s a rebuild with a lot less to work with.

Rockets also had Drexler and Horry.

As for winning in 99, they would be favored to do so. They beat Jazz 4-2 in finals. They had one more year left. Make a decent off season move and they are good.
