Greg Oden in purple?

even teams with the 2nd and third pick get their shot at kevin durant and brandan wright. two very good prospects especially durant.

I agree with Slim. We don't have to have the worst record in the NBA to get Oden, but it would help.

But it doesn't matter whether we win it or not. If we can get a top 5 pick, we can land a Brandan Wright, Al Horford, or Thaddeus Young, all potential franchise bigs.

I'm particularly high on Wright after some of his performances for UNC this year. He's only 19 too.

i wouldn't classify young as a "big" really, he's pretty much a small forward.

Is Big Baby coming out this year?

dont forget about all the florida guys (noah, horford, Brewer), tyler hansborough, Josh McRoberts, Aaron Gray...those guys could all be pretty good.

Sucks looking forward to the draft only 20+ games into the season...

I'm still holding onto hope that somehow, some way Geoff will make something happen and turn things around....

Chances of getting Oden... 0.000000000000000000000001%

The only way we can get Oden

If Slamson goes over and chloroforms Billy King.

King then passes out and Geoff sneaks over and proposes and signs and trade that has Pota headed to Philly for a first round draft pick.

THEN sends the paperwork to Stern with a picture of him and King with sunglasses on and two thumbs up.

And then uses a Neuralyzer MIB style and convinces King that Pota is the next Shaq.

AND THEN somehow protect King from the Philly rioters from completing a coup.

And then hope Philly stinks as bad as we all think they will.

That is honestly the most likely scenario we got.

So you're saying there's a chance!

its called being optimistic. gotta take off the purple shades once in a while and stare at the truth. the truth is, this team really sucks the way its constructed. we have no true allstar/superstar to build around. we have a bunch of parts that don't fit well together. we have a coach who insists on playing corliss instead of developing our younger players... our future... we aren't going anywhere this year barring a remarkable trade for a top 5 player.
i'd get excited if there was something to be excited about. so, lets look forward to something we could get excited about.

greg oden isn't the only good player in this draft guys.

True, I wouldn't mind us getting Noah.
