Well, as I said, the rumours I recall were during the season, not the off-season. During the All-Star game, commentators talked about how there were rumours circulating about the two being traded for each other.
At the time, Pippen was seen as about as big a star as anyone. Perhaps a notch below the two centers, Olajuwon and Robinson, but as good a forward as any in the league.
