Settle down guys... Don't want to lock the thread because, believe it or not, the board could use some more lively discussion. But please, as it appears, the Thunder and Blazers are two teams that hopefully have very bright futures. On draft night, Oden/Durant was split like 51/49, Oden had surgery and unfortunately missed the season. Hopefully Oden will become the player that most thought he would be. Hopefully not better than Durant due to my allegiance, hehe

The way I see it, the Blazers have taken a very similar approach to rebuilding as we have, however they're maybe 2 years further along in the process. Presti and Prichard are, IMO, two of the top GMs in the league right now. So lets just show some respect (in both directions).
