So i guess we should have drafted Durant

And traded Roy... Right, cause the whole reason we passed on him was cause we already had a ball dominant wing.... (Jordan/Drexler #2, but at least Drexler took us too two finals, doesnt look like Roy will ever do that)

sigh

pretty bitter tonight

 

well, no other GM in the lotto would have drafted Durant either so I don't sweat that.

 

Championship or not I completely appreciate the fact that Brandon Roy is (was?) a Blazer, he's given me some great memories that I will never forget, and he helped me rekindle my love for this team that had really started to wane with the years of knuckleheads and embarrassments that seemed to dog this franchise for a good 10 years before he got here.

So no, I don't think we should have drafted Durant and traded Roy. Furthermore, if we'd drafted Durant we would have never gotten Batum and I heart Nic.

 

Oh, i disagree with the statement about batum. I think Durant could easily play with Batum, and wouldnt that be something to see....

 

Should have drafted Chris Paul. I'm not sure what that means in Hindsight Land.

There is no task too large for Captain Hindsight.

 

We'll learn again in 20-25 years from now when we get another No. 1 pick and have a choice between a "once-in-a-generation" big or a guy projected to be a scoring champion. Third time's a charm!

 

false. the "whole" reason we passed on durant was because oden was the better choice in terms of competing for a championship. a healthy oden still would be a better choice right now. obviously if oden isn't there we'd have had no trouble taking durant and playing him with roy.

 

looking back, its a no-brainer.. Durant all day, every day, and twice on sundays.
BUT, that's the benefit of hindsight, right?

at draft time i was all for GO and all things being even it was the right choice IMO at the time for the team's future.
i dont think anyone really anticipated Durant being this good so soon, or Oden being this injured so often.

it's an old chestnut for sure, but what's left to debate?

 

Hey you can go follow those guys instead, nobody here will care.

 

Well, why stop there?

Why not beat yourself up about not getting CP3 or D-Will because we already had Sabastian Telfair?

That was actually a far worse pick in the grand scheme of fail since Oden actually played well a few times.
Bassy is a gun toting pile of crap.

Then Portland wouldn't have been in a position to draft Brandon!



Or you could just stop looking backwards and wonder about what the team does now.

 

We should have drafted Jordan.

 

no shit.......

 

+1.

 

why couldnt have we just got the 2nd pick???????????????

 

Is Brandon Dead?

 

We should have gone back in time and made every decision with knowledge of the future. I completely agree. And all throughout franchise history, and even in our own lives.

 

that's how I live my life.
