What, you actually thought Memphis and Boston were going to win? Ha. The Portland Trailblazers (formerly Jailblazers) and Seattle Supersonics stunned the NBA world last night by winning the first two slots in this year's draft. But why do we feel like these two will find a way to screw it up? Sure, it seems easy enough: Portland, you take Oden, and Seattle, you take Durant. But Portland just drafted a center in LaMarcus Aldridge and Seattle, well, they already have a Durant-type in Rashard Lewis. What's that you say? Oden is a once-in-a-decade talent and Lewis is a free agent? We know, we know. It makes sense, that's why we don't believe it will work out. Does anyone really think David Stern is going to let the two most highly touted rookies to come along in years just slink off to the Pacific Northwest? So they can play games that start at 10 p.m. EST? We don't think so. The fix is on, ladies and gents. And we can't wait to see how he pulls this off.
Of course, the Blazers could just save us all the suspense and deal nice-guy Zack Randolph and his $80 million contract.
