    @johnhollinger Notable item from Vecsey: Blazers and Nets nearly had Harris-Murphy-No. 1 for Oden-Miller-Przybilla deal. Broke down over quality of No. 1



    giving up oden for a mid-lottery pick in a weak draft would have sucked

    If that was unprotected, I'd have done it.

    Glad this one fell apart. I have hope Oden will still be a solid starting center next season and beyond.

    in any other year maybe. if a lot of the college talent chooses not to come out due to the impending lockout it could be a historically weak draft, even in the lottery.

    not to mention miller probably wins some games for NJ that harris wouldn't have

    Vescey, but if that pick was unprotected lottery, then good trade

    Glad this didn't happen. I don't think it would have made us better now OR in the future.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Vecsey.[3]

    If it were real, though, dodged a bullet that it fell through. An unprotected first round pick in another year might have been interesting. Even if this year had a real stud, the chances that the Nets' pick (when considering that they don't have the worst record in basketball, just added a star and the fact that there's a lottery) would be #1 is pretty low.

    Overall, it's not the kind of package that makes me eager to ditch Oden.

    I was thinking about this earlier, and I actually see this draft more as the 2006 "suck" variety than the 2000 "supersuck" variety. I think there's talent to be had.

    Honestly, if you told me that we made trades that had us miss the playoffs this year but end up with 2 mid-lotto picks and a 2nd, and we ended up with Terrence Jones, Harrison Barnes and Kenneth Faried I'd think it was a good deal. I understand that puts me in the superminority. If somehow we got the lotto balls working the right way and ended up with Kyrie Irving that'd be really nice. But I don't mind this direction.

    I think it's all-in next year with Miller, Roy, Crash, LMA, Oden, Camby and Batum. 4 of those guys might be playing their last good year in Portland.

    Oden is in this team's future without a doubt, If we had him at full strength now we would be contending in the West.

    Greg Oden was nearly dealt

    -NYpost via B-Edge

    He was basically a throw in with this proposed deal that came "dangerously close."

    Missing three entire seasons I can't say that I'm surprised that Cho & Co. are trying to dump him, even cheaply.

    I think that is what NJ asked for, not what we offered.

    Re: Greg Oden was nearly dealt

    I read that this morning and laughed.

    Where does it say Cho tried to dump Greg? A NY writer said they tried to get Greg. I am guessing Cho laughed too.

    Re: Greg Oden was nearly dealt

    It sounds like Cho wanted the GS pick, apparently that was the deal breaker.

    That's nice. My days of waiting for Oden to "bloom" are over. The team should completely plan on moving on without him, and if he is still here and finally gets to where he can play some time, great. Don't count on him. But if it happens take it as a bonus.
