I'm going to vomit watching Oden play for the Jailblazers.
Portland is going to be stacked, hopefully this can get them to the playoffs! I'd rather see Durant in, but I wouldn't mind oden.
THey don't really need a big man, but they could trade Randolph or Aldridge.
Well, that puts to rest talk of these things being 'rigged'. Otherwise Chicago or Boston would have gotten the top picks.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

They've made a lot of effort to not be the Jailblazers anymore. Randolph is the only one left from those teams really, and I'm thinking with an Oden coming in, Randolph will be on the move this off-season.Originally Posted by Edd Roush
As a C's fan, I wish it was rigged. This makes me physically ill.
I can't wait to read Simmons next blog entry
Oh, don't you worry. There are plenty of knuckledraggers in this town who think the NBA is out to get the Celtics.
I laughed out loud when they got slapped with the #5 pick.
Ha ha.
Stick to your guns.
I've actually heard some people on other boards talking about how Stern may have had a hand in punishing some of the teams that "tanked" down the stretch and didn't get in the top 3 picks.
Conspiracy theories will always be there.
I think someone needs to place Bill Simmons on suicide watch.
Well I'm a happy person! Hopefully Atlanta learned from past mistakes and Mike Conley will be coming to town. It's a lot to ask considering their recent draft history, but maybe they'll finally figure it out.
My money is on them taking Hibbard

Well, I'm pretty stoked. I've been a Blazer fan since '70 and this is the best bit of news Portland has had in awhile. After reading their bios, I have to vote for choosing Durant #1. Sure, getting Oden would be great, but Durant is more driven to be "great". The NBA has evolved and the dominant center is less of a focus than ever, and besides, a very-mobile big man LaMarcus Aldridge is already in the Blazer's fold. Put the two former Longhorn teammates together with Brandon Roy and Portland's string of lottery visits will come to an end.
Never overlook the obvious
That would be a typical Hawks blunder. Hibbard is going to get eaten alive in the pros. I do think the Hawks will go center, but at 11 instead of 3. Maybe the big Chinese guy, who I don't know enough about to know if I should like that or not.
