Blazers pick up options on Oden, several more

[Riverwalkman]

The Blazers picked up contract options on Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez, Nicolas Batum and Jerryd Bayless on Friday, and also signed rookie guard Patty Mills.
Oden and Fernandez are a huge part of the future of the Blazers, while the rest of these guys are likely to be solid role players in Portland.

So Portland don't think Oden is a role player?

Oden, Rudy, Nicolas Batum and Bayless - no brainer

Mills - WTF??? Unproven injured rookie

We had to make him an offer or we would lose his rights.

So, is Bayless ever gonna get some play in Portland? Seriously. Play him or trade him.
