I'm not sure why you were not considered for the GM position. Your talent evaluation is obviously stellar.
No. Other than the Oden-KD draft, I've been slightly better than our guys, which still leaves me in "terrible" territory.
Blazers would be akin to the Knicks Felton<Lin/Davis/Bibby Mathews>Fields Durant/Batum>Melo/Novak Aldridge=Amare Camby or Pryz<Chandler
Only Blazer fan I know that was advocating for Durant was a University of Texas grad I worked with. I found this blog kind of interesting. I think his analysis at the time was right on and pretty consistent with conventional wisdom at the time. We will never really know what Oden could have been. It really doesn't make much sense to keep rehashing it. Injuries decimated the ability to even compare the two.
Ben Golliver was all over Durant like white on Rice, I still remember his 'draftkevindurant' blog and all of the crap he took for it.
I just meant of Blazer fans that I personally knew, only one who was hoping the Blazers picked Durant and he was a UT fan.
Oh I wasn't correcting you, I was just adding the only other person I could think of that really wanted Durant over Oden publicly; it was a pretty clear minority. For the record I wanted Oden too, but I do remember thinking to myself how I hoped it wouldn't be another "passing on Jordan to take Bowie" situation ... if only Oden had been that good.
