I'm sorta under the opinion that anyone you draft at #22 probably won't do a whole lot in terms of getting you a title. Unless it was a person rated as top 10 talent who just happened to fall an ungodly amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know! I mean we were only 52-30 last year! did we win a chapnionship ? not even close ... we need to fix some weak points to be a championship material but Otis is clearly incompetent Yeah. Let us use your logic. That way, every year there will be 29 GM's looking for a job. so your logic is - you don't need to try to be better every year because you have championship guaranteed with current roster ? great, you are an genius ... You dropped some Cheetos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the Kid's agent fault if it is not a big deal because they reported his representatives refused to let him be tested. Maybe he has the same thing as Mourning it was sickle cell right that caused him to have Kidney problems? and thus a transplant? Maybe I am mixing it all up. Still if the kid's reps screwed him then it is their fault. Thing is why invite him if a team did not say they would pick him. Usually the only invites are given after a poll of the top 15 teams.

mnewballer21 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 I guess this means Portland is either trading Arthur or Aldridge, or hell, any of their young guys, they have entirely too many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I felt bad for him. But I don't understand why the kidney concern could be that big a deal. I mean, very worst case scenerio, you have a major operation. But as a young man you should be able to bounce back pretty quickly and pretty well. Hell, Zo was an old man and he did it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And considering Oden has yet to play a minute in the NBA... I vote no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I still think they're too young, although highly skilled. They'll still struggle to make the playoffs in the West. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
