Last draft, Wa, Wa, Waaa (Picture from OregonLive.com)
Two topics I am not particularly excited about. First the draft and its weakness coupled with a low draft pick means not much improvement here. If KP was still here, I would be more excited about some crazy 5 team, 10 draft pick, 15 player trade possibility. I miss that feeling of getting rid of the bad and bringing in the new era of BRoy, LMA and Oden. I feel like we could use help at the center or point guard positions, and if this truly is a weak draft, take a gamble. We have a solid rotation of SG/SF/PG in Matthews/Roy/Rudy/Batum/Wallace/Aldridge. Leave those positions alone unless we are making a trade.
And the lockout is super depressing. I expect the Blazers to win over 50% of their games and make the playoffs. I don't see them as deep enough and strong enough to make a championship run right now, but I love watching them play while I scream at my TV. The only positive I see is that Oden and Roy will get a little extra rest for whenever the next season starts. I just hope its over as quickly as possible and we can start watching basketball in the fall. I guess there's always hockey.
