I'm not saying I necessarily agree with Pritchard's pick, I think there were a lot of things he overlooked, too. But if he were looking for a defence, this would be it.
you saying that doesn't change what i just said. that the only people saying durant over oden were people like you sitting in couches watching games on tvOriginally Posted by Addict4Sneakers
the last two centers that led their teams to championships had "it" from the beginning.Originally Posted by WJuN15
its hilarious how all of you guys are saying it was such a dumb pick when 95% of the world said oden was the consenus number 1 pick at the time. bill simmons was mad salty that celts didn't get the number 1 pick. u seen all those celts fans crying when they didn't get the number 1 pick...
all the ppl that said durant over oden were just average nba fans that didn't know big men>scoring wing man to win championships. and then now since they got lucky they say "they should've listened to me!!!"
greg oden can't even square up and make a jump hook.
and the last 2 titles have been won by a scoring wing man. a scoring wing man won 6 titles in the 90s.
durant is closer to being mike or kobe than oden is shaq or duncan

i think we should tank and get a top 5 pick.Originally Posted by airblaster503
Man, just got off work and as soon as I turned on the radio this is the news I heardI really feel bad for Greg, he has to be depressed as hell after what he has been through. I wasn't on board with the Blazers picking him when they took him over Durant, but this is who they chose and they have to live with it. I think the Blazers need to sign him next year though, they have already given him this much time, might as well give it another year and see if he can develop into a decent player. The bad thing is they are going to have to put in a bid starting at over 8 million if they want to have a chance to block another team from picking him up(25% of his current salary, which is like 6.8 million) Blazers are done though this year. It is time to clean house, trade Roy and Batum and see if they can get an elite player up here to start building from, because right now Roy isn't looking like a player I want the team built around.

I was thinking the same thing. If you can get a player for Roy packaged with someone else, say Iggy, that would be nice. I agree though they should tank the season and hope for a top pick to bring in some top talent.Originally Posted by WJuN15
