With the young talent already in Portland, there is a realistic possibility of the trade of the #1 pick. It would have to be for someone damn good, though.
Wow, the Blazers are gonna be real dope in years to come. No team would have passed on Oden. I like Durant going to the Sonics, too. Both teams are going to be fun to watch.
It seems like Oden would be a good fit, with Aldridge at the 4. But then Aldridge and Randolph are really stealing each other's minutes. Plus, Pritchard did so well with his flurry of draft day trades last year that he might be tempted to try a repeat performance.
Even with his flaws, Randolph is a 20 and 10 guy every night. Protland will not just trade him for garbage matching contracts because he has real value. But they meed need to package him with something else of value to move him out of town. On the other hand there are GMs like Isiah Thomas and Danny Ainge in this league, so they might be able to get good value just by trading Randolph alone.
Randolphs stats are great......unfortunately he is FOOLS GOLD. We should of got Channing Frye last year when New York was in spin cycle. I'm sure that deal is off the table now.
The media really hyped up Aldridge's heart condition. It really isnt as bad as everybody thought.......we gave just about everybody the final 3 games of the regular season off (Warrior fans can give us a pat on the back ).
Word up Rip City. I just got off the phone with the Schonz and we are red hot and rolling. Real PDX headz know the deal. I personally would get rid of Zack b/c I don't think he has the winner's mentality. Aldridge could be huge.
I would have said Durant until the final four when Oden came out of his shell and showed a true all around game and some real heart.
I'm in Germany and just woke up to a flurry of emails and texts. Man I can't believe the Sonics got #2!! I would almost rather have #2 because nobody can pass on Oden at this point. He will probably be great but who knows. Portland already passed on Jordan 23 years ago. I bet we sign and trade Rashard now. Durant is a younger more dynamic version of him. All those game lat season of hoping for them to lose paid off!!!
Who the hell is #3? I Can't make him out. A young cliff robinson before the bald look? Looks more like a guard though. y
I'm pretty sure that's Cliff. Man that team was talented but very dumb. Detroit ran through them in the finals. Didn't Chicago beat them too? Jordan "basket felt like the ocean" or some shit?

The Trail Blazers franchise just turned a corner today.
I'd rather have the #2 pick in this draft and take whichever of the big 2 falls to me..
Oden could be a bust.......after all he's like what, 39/40 years old....how many good years could he have left
I was hoping Memphis got the #1 so West would pick the Chinese Center and end his career as a GM.
Congrats to Portland and Seattle....hope y'all can make it count.
Atlanta will continue to be a joke until Billy Knight is gone.
He's been playing out of postion all year because of that fat ass Randolph.
With the Blazers getting the #1.........Randolph is history.
Yeah I know I'm just teasin...dude is so skinny.....
Man. I wonder if Avery could whip that turd Randolph into shape.
at #3? a duplicate marvin williams! julian wright comes to mind.

This is a exciting day to be a Trail Blazer fan.
Oregonlive.com is going CRAZY!
I think the consensus is that he's 40.
When are the next throwback Centers and Power Forwards gonna arrive? I need more Boozers and Duncans in the league!!! ya heard?
true, the prevailing mentality around the league is starting to shift as more and more teams realize that taller men do in fact play with an advantage
Yes, and that teams are lacking in quality big men. Guards are more plentiful in the league.
I would have said Durant until the final four when Oden came out of his shell and showed a true all around game and some real heart.
Holy fuck the Celtics are cursed. Something went down in the 80's
and we are paying for it, some karmic shit we don't even know about.
My man, Billy Ray. Here's a little youtube love for all you old skool headz. Shit is hilarious.

the greatest inbound play ever against the Sixers. Those who saw the half court alley oop jam will never forget.

Without googling it....
I recognize 52...but i forgot his name.
30 Terry Porter
00 Something Tracy?
25 Jerome Kersey
52 is Buck Williams
00 is Kevin Duckworth I think.

okay, I guess 22 is Clyde. I couldn't quite see the face the first time around.
52 = Buck Williams
22 = Clyde Drexler
30 = Terry Porter
