LaMarcus Bryant Aldridge and Greg Oden on the same team playing defense together whawahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
The West just got a whooole lot tougher.
It gets tougher in a couple of years maybe.
Oden is going to get a healthy dose of Tim Duncan during his development. Could be a good thing for him.
I'm happy to see a team win the Oden sweepstakes without tanking. That's freaking incredible to see Oden and Brandon Roy on the same team. I'm happy for Portland fans too, after they've had to deal with so much crap from losers like JR Rider and Darius Miles.
Ah, Boston got ed again for tanking!
Damn, the curse of Len Bias is real.
Best of all, Phoenix doesn't get a top 5 pick in one of the greatest drafts in NBA history. So much for the Suns getting over the hump next season!
Congrats, tlong. Your team is going to be amazing.
Portland Trail Blazers
2010-11 NBA Champions??
Is that the year of the spurs master plan?
I forget.
tlongII is going to be unbearbale. Make that more unbearable.
I really like how the Blazers have pulled off such a complete transformation from where they were just a few years ago...
Such a great group of young guys they have there. Getting rid of Darius Miles is a must. Man...I'm really rooting for this team.
yeh miles contract has togo
and they might even sign lewis for MLE...thats if he accepts that low offer...
imo trade pryz, and resign magz
I think there are a few players on the Blazers that could be had. Outlaw, Martell Webster, and Jarrett Jack to name a few. All 3 of these guys could become top-notch players in the right situation.
Keep Jarret Jack, this is your team glue guy IMHO.
no n team deserves b2b lottery no.1 picks, this
Brandon Roy was the #6 pick last year.
Portland should pick up a couple of minmum salary hardnosed, role model vets to bring along the kiddies and set the tone. And dump Miles and Randolph.
don't forget Memphis
I thought Portland was pretty close at the end of 06-07. Those guys played their guts out every night down the stretch, even when it would have been better for them to be dropping games. They got themselves some good mojo by actually trying to improve on the floor.
McMillian is the right kind of coach to restore that franchise to its former place as a class group of hard-working guys who are playoff contenders every year. They play the way Nate played -- hard-nosed and tenaciously.
I agree that if they can find some tough-minded vets who are willing to come in and be teachers and role models and rid themselves of the bad at ude crew (though Randolph was better in many ways last season), I think the Blazers can immediately make the leap back into the playoffs in 2007-08.
aldridge isn't that good right now, and while i think Oden will be good, this thread is a bit premature.
Duncan is a PF and David a C. I saw how they could mesh.Both of these dudes are centers. I wanna see how its gonna turn out.
I think the next great "Twin Towers" (5 years down the road "great") would have been Bogut and Oden for some reason...and the reason might be cuz I'm an idiot...
??? He's a good weakside defender and team defender its 1on1 defense he sucks at, but his defensive talents and oden's raw defensive talents are like the perfect analogue to a young duncan and robinson together.
not sayin they'll dominate right away but if they play together for like 2 or 3 years watchout.
Portland will be boss hosses.
Durant in Seattle sucks. Ray Allen and a lame duck franchise combine to make that a bad situation.
I wanted Durant to go to a team where he could shine. At least it wasn't Boston I guess.
So is the 'CH' in 'Chode' pronounced like 'CH' in Choo-choo or like a 'K' in 'Chamaleon?
