Yeah, hey on a case by case basis, we can look at a team. I was FOR Blake this year (something he and I argued about endlessly) But Blake isn't Odensize. He's more Boozer then Oden, and so the injury risk should be somewhat lessened. (of course, the Clipper curse got him early, but hey
) But reason I looked for Blake was the Clipps roster as constructed does haveguys that can score at the end of a game. EG, Baron if he ever gets right again, hell even Thorton. So Blake to me was just an added peice, or added toptalent player being added. If it were the Kings with the #1, I don't think I would have gone with Blake becasue they have servicable bigs, and NEEDED aperimeter threat. That's how I look at it.
So with Port, with getting both Roy AND LA the year before, and still having Pryz, I didn't see the need for Oden. And after seein the stuff now withMiller, I am wondering if the front office may have thought that Roy and Durant couldn't co-exist. They'll NEVER say that out loud, but I wonder.
And I saw that article on ESPN last week, and some scout saidPortland was better with LA at the 5 cuz it cleared the paint for the other guys to flow the offense, if Portland goes on a little run here in the comingweeks, it's going to hammer the point home further about what a waste his pick was over Durant. All I know is, Roy + Oden, eh. Roy + Durant would be
provided they could coexist with the ball.
