No he doesn't. There was something wrong with the top 4 guys, so by virtue of prayer, the Celtics received the 5th pick.It's official. God hates the Celtics.

Is there any chance Portland doesn't take Oden with Aldridge/Randolph (and his contract) already there ?Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter! Sick!
Portland and teh Jazz will be battling out for Western supremecy for the next decade.Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter! Sick!
For Christ's sake, someone please post the order.
None what so ever. Oden and Alridge is an all world basketfall front court.Is there any chance Portland doesn't take Oden with Aldridge/Randolph (and his contract) already there ?Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter! Sick!

I could see them going Kevin Durant with that pick.Is there any chance Portland doesn't take Oden with Aldridge/Randolph (and his contract) already there ?Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter! Sick!
They still take Oden IMO, but I'm wondering if they are going to try to give away Randolph now.Is there any chance Portland doesn't take Oden with Aldridge/Randolph (and his contract) already there ?Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter! Sick!
Im excited.As a Laker fan, 2 things Im wishing for:Hawks get a top 3 pick.Celtics dont get a top 2 pick.

That's what I figured....Portland certainly looks to be on the way back.WTF is J.Barry talking about ? They need veteran guys ??? They are rebuilding, and have a chance to add a big time center prospect.The Western Conference just got even stronger.None what so ever.

Oden is a lock at #1, IMO. I don't think Aldridge is a legit NBA center.With Aldridge and Randolph, is Oden really a lock there? PG Jack/RodrigeuzSG RoySF UdokaPF RandolphC AldridgeWhere exactly do you see the weakness there?Portland going to get better quickly with Roy, Aldridge, and Oden.![]()
They should take Durant. Sergio Rodriguez didn't garner a lot of press but he'll be a top 10 PG in the NBA within 3 years imo.RodriguezRoyDurantRandolphAldridgeThats a championship calibre team imo in 3 years.They still take Oden IMO, but I'm wondering if they are going to try to give away Randolph now.Is there any chance Portland doesn't take Oden with Aldridge/Randolph (and his contract) already there ?Wow!Oden and Aldridge in the front court with Brandon Roy on the perimeter!

We don't want you anyhow.I have had it with the Celtics... Losing Duncan, trading Billups, Ainge making horrible trades and moves, extending Rivers, tanking a season only to end up at #5 and not getting a franchise player. I hope we trade Pierce just for his own good so he can go to a good team, he deserves it... Ainge has screwed the pooch while running this team. Horrible.
#5 is just weak though. DangFor Christ's sake, someone please post the order.

I think they should get a legit star center rather than playing two undersized guys at 4/5, especially when one of them is as nutty as Randolph.They should take Durant.

You don't want all young guys because their contracts will expire near the same time and you'll have to lose some of them. If they could land Garnett or Gasol it might be wise to trade it.That's what I figured....Portland certainly looks to be on the way back.WTF is J.Barry talking about ? They need veteran guys ???

The Western Conference just got even stronger.
So is this good for my Lakers, or bad?!

Don't forget about the Chinese PG. I'm sure he could be another Hawks bust.I don't see how he can #### this up.He needs a point guard in the worst way, and now Mike Connely falls right into his lap.Billy Knight can't WAIT to #### this up.Atlanta picks 3rd![]()

Nothing wrong with him coming off the bench to backup both the PF and C positions initially. I'm sure Portland can deal with having Aldridge, Randolph and Oden in the front court. Trading out because Aldridge can play center makes meAldridge is a PF, he's not really a back to the basket kid anyways. Man, Portland is going to be good.
Guy barely played his rookie year.Suicide watch for The Sports Guy?No he doesn't. There was something wrong with the top 4 guys, so by virtue of prayer, the Celtics received the 5th pick.It's official. God hates the Celtics.
Especially with their monster contracts.For Oden?You being serious?If they could land Garnett or Gasol it might be wise to trade it.
Why would they do that?I think he's a much better 4 than a 5. Seems a little soft to play Center to me.Oden is a lock at #1, IMO. I don't think Aldridge is a legit NBA center.With Aldridge and Randolph, is Oden really a lock there? PG Jack/RodrigeuzPortland going to get better quickly with Roy, Aldridge, and Oden.

Agreed. It's not supposed to be career threatening, but Aldridge also was diagnosed with a heart condition and had to miss the last few weeks. With the question marks on him and Randolph, and a good wing player in Roy, you can't pass on Oden.Trading out because Aldridge can play center makes meAldridge is a PF, he's not really a back to the basket kid anyways.

I was really starting to lose it.
Why do people make silly statements like this? Not sure if you've heard of Roland Rating, but what it does is measure how much better/worse a team is with a certain player on the floor versus with him off the floor. The Trailblazers, being a bad team, only had 4 players with a positive ratingOden is a perfect fit for the Blazers. trading the pick would be foolish. I think Putting Aldridge at PF really compliments Oden and gives the team a solid defensive presence inside.
I don't care how much Randolph is making, his defense is abysmal and he should be on the bench.

Oden for Gasol
