Pritchard will not draft a hot dog like Mayo; OJ doesn't fit "the culture"
(OTOH, Derrick Rose has a name that says "Portland" and he sounds more like a "Nate McMillian kind" of point guard. But I'm not so sure they'll draft a PG next spring. Brandon Roy could well be the team's PG of the future, with Euro-league MVP Rudy Fernandez coming over from Spain to play #2, next fall. They may target a small forward, instead)
And even without Oden, I'm not ready to concede that the '07-08 Blazers have no shot at a WC playoff berth
