Other Sliding Doors
SFWhat if the 49ers had stayed put instead of trading up for Trey Lance?
Run scenario →
Keeping three first-round picks (rule: +1 starter per pick at ~45% hit rate) likely yields ~1.3 additional starters by 2024.
Speculative
PORWhat if Portland had drafted Michael Jordan in 1984?
Run scenario →
Speculative only. Portland took Sam Bowie No. 2; under our rule a top-5 player adds ~12 wins/yr to a 48-win roster.
Speculative
OKCWhat if Oklahoma City had kept Paul George?
Run scenario →
No SGA, no 2022 Clippers pick, so no Jalen Williams. Under our chain rule, 2 of the top 3 title-team players disappear.
