Roy will be in the Hall of Fame

Only part I needed to read

Or this

To say that they’re loaded with talent is an understatement.

Don't let me keep you from looking at the entire list but:
1. Portland TrailBlazers

 

PG Jarryd Bayless

SG Brandon Roy

SG Rudy Fernandez

SF Martell Webster

SF Travis Outlaw

SF Nicolas Batum

PF LaMarcus Aldridge

C Greg Oden

 

Outlook: To say that they’re loaded with talent is an understatement. I believe all eight of the players listed above have a chance to be all-stars, even if not in Portland. Roy will be in the Hall of Fame, Aldridge is underrated and determined to be great, and Oden may end up as one of the best players ever. Plus, I believe Bayless was the third best player in the draft and he can fill it up. As long as the heralded chemistry remains in tact with the new additions, this team will become legendary.

 

What’s Needed: Nothing. If there’s anything wrong at all it’s that they have too much talent, too many weapons, too many guys who can score and/or play defense. Unless something crazy happens, I don’t see how this team won’t obliterate the league in a historic way. If all goes well, they should end up with at least five titles. It’s my belief that this team could end up as the greatest to ever be assembled. Ever.

"SAY NO TO HEDO." Well that campaign FAILed.... Success!

he's got to be a Blazer fan

I’ve never heard anyone that wasn’t a die hard Blazer fan go that far before. “Great team ever assembled. Ever.” Wow

It all hinges on how good Oden becomes

Thanks for posting that

Opportunity makes things look so much different. We’re going to be just fine if we don’t use cap space.

Eh, I usually avoid BR.

It’s full of college wannabe writers putting out the most homer influenced articles on the net.
