    here is the link to the discusion they had. They brought up a lot of good points, like i don't see our back court being as strong as it needs to be to win a title. I don't agree with the chances they were giving us to get to the western conference finals in the next few years.. With teams like LAL, SAS, and DAL getting old and quite possibly falling off, that leaves OKC and MAYBE utah and denver above us.. I could see us rising to the top 2 in the west in the next couple years.

    Read the article. Interesting analysis. I think Mathews and Batum have either All-Star or near all star potential. Aldridge already is one. Felton is a total wild card. Camby does good things on the floor, and Roy and Oden are wild cards. Gerald Wallace is a smooth piece, another All Star potential. I don't think we are there right now, but we'll be competitive. We need another solid piece and I think if Roy and Oden were healthy we'd be right there competing with the elite of the Western Conference. I think we are being underrrated, but I agree it's hard to see a championship, but honestly, that's not easy to predict either.

    42 game $1,000,000 deal.

    Option of earning an extra $500,000 - Oden must average 8+ PPG and 5+ RPG, or something along those lines. 


    That gives him incentive to play hard, low risk / high reward for the Blazers. I...

    OJ Mayo is over rated but so is Batum especially by Blazer fans.
