To be fair, Kevin Pritchard has now removed all the malcontents from the team.

With Brandon Roy, Aldridge, Oden, and Rudy Fernandez, this looks to be a good team to watch.

As far as Oden being rated so high without playing, what about Durant last year, or LeBron a few years back. The highest drafted players often come in with uber-high expectations.

Here's my prediction that the Blazers win at least 4 games.... which still might not mean a playoff berth.
