I'm pretty sure Portland not taking Faried had something to do with the Felton for Miller trade. Must have been discussed in the deal that we let Faried slip to Denver.
@Ulfification i was extremely surprise that they didnt draft him aswell but they do have a clue. Sure oden hasnt produced like Durant but they cant predict injuries. Oden would be an all star centre or at least on the fringe of being one. They drafted Roy who if he wasnt injured would be a top 3 SG and they also drafted LaMarcus Aldridge who should have been an all star. if it wasnt for injuries Blazers would have drafted a team that would be a major championship contender.
@TortuousToaster Well people knew Brandon Roy's knees were a risk that's why he slipped to number 6 in 2006. People also knew Oden had injury problems but Portland took a risk on him as well. And I shouldn't even have to mention Bowie over Jordan in '84. And seriously, Nolan Smith? I understand that he's a solid guard but, look at the guards they already have. Roy, Matthews, Patty Mills, Armon Johnson, Elliott Williams, Raymond Felton. They needed a big man to back up Aldridge, not more guards.
@Ulfification i agree they should have taken faried. Oden and Roy had so much potential. Oden was the consencous No. 1 Pick. almost all the nba gm stated they would take oden if givin the no. 1 pick.
@TortuousToaster Yeah it sucks because Oden was supposed to be like Shaq in his prime or Dwight Howard. Durant at the most was supposed to be a Joe Johnson type player. The Blazers got screwed by bad luck.
HE JUST JUMPED OVER THE FUCKIN KID?!?!?!?!

It still makes me angry that the Blazers didn't draft him. That franchise has no clue when it comes to the draft.
