Draft night

I guess I was just another NBA fan waiting for the moment.

I logged on to nba.com and found Greg ODen at 1 and Kevin DUrant at 2.

1. Greg ODen and Blazers- Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge becomes the twin towers. Aldridge has exprience and has shown that he can contribute both offensively and defensively and the addition of Oden makes opponents think twice about going inside. The only downside is that it will take time. The trade of Zach Randolph will mean the lost of a guy who gave 20 points and 10 boards a game last season and would have been Oden's mentor and partner in crime. Still, Portland has Jarett Jack and Brandon Roy and becomes an attractive place for offensive players like Rashard Lewis or Gerald Wallace. Aside from that, they still have Darius Miles, if he recovers, and Ime Udoka, if he comes back.

2.Sonics and Kevin Durant- Ray Allen to Celtics. I was thinking signing and trading Rashard Lewis to the Celtics would be better, but the Sonics went a new direction. THey have a young talented future all-star Kevin Durant. Hard-working players like Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green and still get shooters in Wally Scaerbiak and Delonte West. SO, the future still is bright. Sonics are my wildcard for this year
