Portland is going to be pretty sick. As long as Aldridge develops (as he has the talent to do so), he could be a pretty nasty power forward, and let Oden take over the Center duties.

I don't know that much about Randolph except that he's a good player, could he play SF?

And Brandon Roy is a given, great fit with Oden as the rookie of the year, and the backcourt counterpart.

I think they could be an awesome duo in the future.





By the way, how has Jarrett Jack done in the NBA? I know he was pretty damn good player at GT.

Oden destined for Pacific Northwest?

In a surprise, Portland and Seattle land top two picks in NBA draft, making Boston, Memphis even bigger losers.

The Portland Trail Blazers pulled the upset, and now it looks as if Greg Oden, the 7-foot Ohio State center, might start his NBA career in the Pacific Northwest, one way or another.
Portland, the franchise that once drafted Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan, won the draft lottery Tuesday despite having just a 5.3 percent chance at the No. 1 pick.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Greg Oden is gone but is not expected to be taking a scholarship with him. The 7-foot freshman has withdrawn from classes at Ohio State as he prepares for the NBA draft, men's basketball coach Thad Matta said yesterday, but a university official said Oden's failure to complete the spring quarter is not expected to cost the program a scholarship.

Does anyone know when we'll be able to watch Oden play for the USA team? I forget, are national games on durring the summer I guess? I'm looking forward to seeing Oden and Durrant playing together. (Also, I know Kosta is working out with the Greece team this summer, is he going to be playing games with them and maybe playing against Oden?)

There will be no holdout. His NBA contract (salary) will be automatically determined by his draft position per the current collective barganing agreement. Check out the 2007-08 NBA Rookie Scale.

He (actually his agent) will negociate for many more millions for a shoe contract, other endorcements, trading card deal, and appearances, etc.

He will be getting "lots of money". :biggrin:
