    PHX is already stacked.

    If they wouldve gotten the 4th pick, they wouldve gotten a rookie who would contribute right away to help their bench.

    I'm thankful that phx and memphis did not get high picks

    I'm glad too, but freakin Oden and Durant are going to be in the WC.

    EC should just be demoted to CBA and Isiah Thomas should be put in charge.

    Don't forget Hawks still owe them a pick next year which will be unprotected.

    portland is going to be stacked!

    if they get oden, they will have a monster line of Oden, Aldridge, and Randolf

    if they get durant, they will have an offensive force with Durant, Roy and Randolf

    Randolph might on the trading block this summer. Too many post players especially one that earns 12 million dollars and contributes so little.

    I am just nervous and hope it is not the other way around. If he is as good as claimed, then do you remember what Shaq did in his rookie year? :(

    Yeah but Suns are looking for a PG anyway so if they land OJ Mayo or Derrick Rose then they are set for the next 10 years even after Nash is done retiring.

    Yes! I totally agree! Except the exact opposite.
    Oden > Yao. Sorry, YOFs. Oden's going to be a better player.

    Grandpa Lebron is going to need about three years to develop any sort of reliable offensive game. Until then he's Theo Ratliff.

    I don't think he's Shaq, Shaq was just too big and strong for anyone to handle even as a rookie. Yao should beat up on him the 1st time but it'll be a good rivalry as Oden gets used to the league.

    Failed to make the playoffs? I remember in his second year he lost to the Rockets in the NBA finals, I wouldn't mind that happening again.

    Many Chinese fans are not happy because now Yi Jianlian won't be going to the Suns. They think the Suns would be the best team for Yi with Nash there setting him up.

    Of Portlands post players, I really think you trade Aldridge. While Randolf is owed a lot of money, they don't need 2 centers who are both young and need playing time. Aldridge is also too slow to play PF, and doesn't have the shooting range.

    Right now he still has a lot of value. Could be traded for a high pick or a quality SF.
