Man, that is a good point, Caleb! I've thought about this, but can't think
of anything right offhand. At first I thought Detroit, then I remembered
that Isiah Thomas guy. Then for some reason, I thought about the Lakers.
Then I remembered they had three #1 overall picks on their roster during the
80's...

Though they didn't win the title, what about the 1993 Phoenix Suns? Sure
they had Barkley, but they had to trade to get him.
