Dont see how they are similar.

If polled around the league, pretty sure the majority (if not all) of knowledgeable people that Portland.

Raptors are a good team with the potential to be in the play-offs every year.

Blazers are a good young team with the potential for Rings.

Portland need a good PG and they can be a championship team next year with Oden back.

I never realized this but Bosh is only 4 months older than Brandon Roy and 6 months older than Travis Outlaw... They were all born in 1984... (23 years old)

Bargs and LaMarcus are also the same age, born in 1985 (22 years old) ... TJ was born in 1983.. (24 years old)

Oden was somehow born in 1988 (19)..

So our cores are not that far apart from each other in terms of age... Aside from the vets on our team that will all be replaced, we have as young a core as anybody in the league.. And I think we'll peak at the same time as Portland with a GM like BC in charge...

Portland vs Toronto NBA Finals coming in the future??

Atlanta, Utah and Portland are the up and coming teams.

Put Bargs in that 1985 class as well. Difference is that they have lots of cap room.
