Furthermore, I think a lot more people are enamored with Durant's game than Melo's. There are some people who would take Durant over Oden, but I don't remember anyone advocating Melo of Bron. <BR/>To Tremont, I would've used the Steven/Irene joke had I thought of it. I should have better flushed out the point that Durant might be a better fit for Portland than Oden, though if the right trade were to come around I could see Portland trying to move Aldridge or Randolph, especially Randolph considering his off the court baggage.Mookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925605413492542290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-13021178095727259302007-05-23T12:57:00.000-04:002007-05-23T12:57:00.000-04:00I could make this a seperate post, but I'm too laz...I could make this a seperate post, but I'm too lazy. With Randolph and Aldridge at the 4 and 5, Portland has more of a need for Durant than Oden. With Allen and Lewis at the 2 and 3, Seattle needs Oden more than Durant. If Portland rates Durant nearly as high as Oden, they should try to deal the first pick for the second pick and maybe Johan Petro (who should be a solid center for years to come).Tremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857924675300230614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-75239721745338492902007-05-23T12:33:00.000-04:002007-05-23T12:33:00.000-04:00I think Steven slapping Irene should have gotten a...I think Steven slapping Irene should have gotten a mention as one of the bigger things that happened in the Pacific Northwest.Tremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857924675300230614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-57992617882477762542007-05-23T11:19:00.000-04:002007-05-23T11:19:00.000-04:00I would say that Lebron/Melo had more hype than Od...I would say that Lebron/Melo had more hype than Oden/Durant- a freshman who won a national championship and the most celebrated high schooler ever. <BR/>Another Weissian comment from the Mooks.Fat Dizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636328688829053917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881058674599767199.post-51662577111233546532007-05-23T10:58:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:58:00.000-04:00I like the Sam Bowie angle.I like the Sam Bowie angle.Charlie Hustlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468039275971062872noreply@blogger.com
