Um, isn’t this article late by at least six months or so?

What person with even the most remote interest in basketball thought that the Blazers were going to set the NBA on fire this year or in the years to come?

As a Blazer fan, I knew the Roy-Aldridge-Oden era was over last year.

A pointless rehash article for the most utterly brain dead of readers, I suppose.

Well at the time B-Roy was healthy Kobe was considered the best if not 2nd best in the league

Spot on about Portland fans. But the danger the team is in right now is having the “don’t give a crap” cancer that’s infected some of the roster become too widely known here. P-Towners have the MLS Timbers to love with that sort of passion. While for some fans soccer can’t ever replace hoops, a big contingent have embraced the Timbers with the same sort of fervor (every home game sells out fast). They’re not going to just dump a Blazers team that’s giving it their best effort in a terrible situation, but if if fans that are rooting their hearts out see a team that’s just going through the motions, well…that’s not going to be well received.

even w/out injuries, i think Roy, Durant and Aldridge at the 2,3,4 would have been better than Roy, Aldridge and Oden at the 2,4,5. I know its easy to say now, but that was a huge mistake by POR management. Same as DET passing on Melo for Darko or whatever his name is. GMs fall in love with size to much in draft. No way you could have said Oden was more talented than Durant or Darko was more talented than Melo.

Sad because both those draft choices lead to the demise of the teams (for now atleast)

I’m pretty disgusted with sports journalism in this country. If a team isn’t in first place, every article is about blowing up the team, firing the coaches, and moving the franchise.

Kobe has been the best player for the last 10 years moron! Now I’d give it to Durant or Rose, but really get a clue hater. Let me guess….you are a LeBron regular season lover? How cute

That is a sad picture. That was supposed to be their future right there. Now only Lamarcus Aldridge is left standing…literally.

It’s really sad because the Blazers looked so good THIS season. They started 7-2 (including 6-0 at home), and have gone 12-19 since.

I may be the only person on earth that thinks the Trailblazers still have a shot to make a run to/in the playoffs. This team is far too talented and deep in all positions. I can’t believe this is happening, at what point in the season did it start going wrong? They’ll be fine as soon as the whole team collectivly pulls their head out their asses and stops feeling sorry for themselves.

Really a sad state of affairs. As a LAKERS fan I was really concerned about the Blazers after they drafted Oden. I thought putting him alongside Roy and Aldridge made for a scary team. When healthy Roy was as good as any player in the league not named Kobe. Aldridge is an all star. And Oden would’ve been dominant. Truly sad how things have transpired.
