    Walton got us our only Title, and recorded our best record for the first 60 games in a season. Absolutely our best pick ever with no reservations at all.

    Up until that 61st game of the post-championship year...no doubt about it. The broken foot and his exit from the Blazers were a case of delayed Shit Happens.

    My point is that it was only ONE YEAR of college. Not even a full year. And then only 82 games in the NBA. He doesn't have much experience playing basketball. Healthy or not, he won't be very good.

    Is there something symbolic about the fact that I am reading this thread while listening to Mozart's Requiem?

    For what the Kings will likely offer Oden, I bet pretty much everyone on this board would go to Sacramento.

    I just think it would be a really poor choice if he is serious about basketball. If he only cares about money and partying then I could see it.

    I could see him going to an unexpected team like Sac or the Pelicans. If he goes to Miami people are going to give LeBron the credit. If he somehow got those other teams into the playoffs he could get a max contract next summer.

    Well if he's smart & serious about basketball he will go to San Antonio.

    How funny would it be if Oden and Aldridge both ended up in San Antonio.

    I couldn't disagree more. Even out of shape and usually out of position he rebounded at an astonishing rate, and he had a marked impact on the opponent's offensive flow.

    If Sacramento is the only team to make an offer I'd guess Oden would take it. Something about choosy beggars, you know.

    Indeed. Even more confusing is how any Blazers fan can claim to be a fan of Oden. The guy drank his way through rehab, ensuring that he never would get healthy, and screwing us over for years.
