the blazers wont trade aldridge, outlaw, martell, roy, or their pick...they are building for the future and they plan to have aldridge in the mix...but they could trade jack and randolph or magloire though.but its highly doubtful that they will trade aldridge.

Magloire is a free agent...

If they want Conley, they're gonna have to give up something.

Nobody wants Randolph or Miles because of their bloated contracts. Outlaw, Jack, and Martell aren't attractive enough, at this point, to command major results in a trade. Their only tradeable pieces are Roy, Alderige, and their pick. Out of those 3, I'd bet on them giving away Alderige first.

That is, assuming they MAKE a trade. They may stand pat. Alderige and Oden is a HELLUVA front court.

That's right and though Aldridge looks promising, getting a very good Center and PG is the top priorities

Thats True...if you think about the duo of conley and oden...they have been successful at every level when playing together... the won numerous Indiana State HS Championships, they were the sole reasons OSU made it to the big stage of the final four and then the ncaa ship, I dont see why they couldnt bring an NBA Championship to Portland within the next 5 years...especially with the supporting cast of Roy, Webster, Outlaw and Aldridge...WOW!

Well nba is a much higher level of competition but they might just get a championship or two during Oden's career but not so soon though

Are you out of your ****ing mind?

I agree with the 5-year thing (because Oden's THAT big of a beast, and it'll take him about that long to do it)...

... but not if it involves Martell Webster and/or Travis Outlaw. The Blazers are headed into the right direction, but NONE of their draft picks before 2006 were any good (note for the slow: thats a huge exhaggeration). They need to start over, with a core of Roy, Alderige, Oden, and (if they make a trade for him) Conley. Everybody else is expendable and should be shipped out for improvements.

Travis Outlaw had a career-night against the Warriors and I still thought he looked like trash...
