Durant is a great player, and they could get a lot in a trade, but ultimately I think Oden is just too good offensively and defensively (as well as a strong character guy) for the Blazers to pass up. As Eric posted before me that's a darn good lineup.

If Oden had come out last year he would have been the consensus #1 pick yet because of his wrist injury he's not flopped with KD? As good as KD will be I view him as the T-Mac of the draft while Oden is Yao Ming - GM's will always take the big man over the wing when given the choice.

Jaz - I agree with you completely about the fit (GO in Seattle, KD in Portland). Some have said the Sonics won't draft another big so soon, but Oden is a big of a whole different class than Nick Collison, Robert Swift, Petro and Saer Sene. And if Portland picks KD, there's less pressure to unload their bigs (Z-Bo, LaFrentz) or worry about where LaMarcus will play.

But Oden is a rare kind, and he actually fits the Sonics better, and Durant fits the Blazers better. With Pritchard talking about “high risk, high payoff” players, he has got to be talking Durant.
