I am not sold at Oden. I am a Durant guy!!! Read the following article and my instinct didn't deceive me.

Settle is the most luckiest team for this draft. He alone can the western conference landscape. can anyone imagine a player better than Lebron? He is that good and have that much of upside.

Also the 7 footer from China will make some noise. This is a deep draft unlike last year. Noah, Brewer, Mike Conley Jr. will give the sophomores a hard time next All-star game.

Your thoughts??

I must say Oden though fits better with Portland than Durant. Oden compliments Randolf where Durant creates problem with having the star player enough minutes. Durant can go to any team and replace their power forward even if that player is an all-star. The power will soon shift. If not this year then certainly next year.

The first trade: Knicks vs Blazers

win-win situation on the court. Off the court no improvement.

The foundation has been built for Blazers. nate will grrom them right. For NY, Good scorer (randolf). However, parting with Francis was good. Off the court, all would have continued trouble.

I am not sure if Allen trade was good or not for both teams. Anyways, time will tell. Danny Ainge would no longer stay in Boston next year.

Overall good draft.

Yeah finally Knicks are making some noise. Randolph trade will probably give them an opportunity to trade Curry and Crawford for Kobe.

Rebuilding won't let you get close to the championship games. It is reloading. NY needs to clean house in order to be competitive in the east (That not saying much for the current crop). Randolph had disciple problem at Portland. Just think what he will attract in NY? No amount of Kobe can save NY. Even raptors will win a 7 game series with or without Kobe.
