10. April 14 - Portland beats the tanking Sonics 108 to 102.
9. May 2 - Brandon is R.O.Y.
8. Paul Allen buys the Rose Garden back.
7. Nov 10 - Portland stages 31 point comeback to beat Hornets.
6. Ime is given a contract.
5. Feb 11 - Agent Zero held to 9 points by visiting Portland, loses 73 to 94.
4. Kevin Pritchard is named GM.
3. Nov 4 - the "Roach" game.
2. May 22, 2007 - lottery yields #1 pick in 2007 draft.
1. 2006 draft day
