In todays Oregonian, John Canzano wrote an article about why the Blazers should trade down their pick. He claims that the last thing we need is more youth, and that it would be ignorant to draft someone with the (Blazers) top pick . I think he is wrong. Realistically, the Blazers will land the 13th or 14th pick. Im pretty sure that no team is going to trade away a well conditioned, impact veteran. It just doesnt happen in my mind. Kevin Pritchard will pick the best player available, and wheel and deal around to optimize the Blazers roster for the 08-09 season. Also, to all you Blazer fans out there... lets pray we can land that #1 pick again somehow!!!
I think that Greg Oden will be next seasons rookie of the year. It may be early to say so, but i feel that he has grown tremendously (mentally and physically) this season during his injury. He is going to come into next season pumped and ready to dominate in the post. He will either be a GIANT bust or the future of dominant big men in the league. Only the time will tell. . .
After watching how stunning the Blazers have been this season i can't wait to see how much them improve with Greg Oden on the floor next season. Like I always say "Oden 08 worth the wait... preach it. "
