NBA Draft for the Blazers Could Get Complicated.


One source, recently said he feels the decision between Oden and Durant may be not be as simple as that. It could also be effected by what other deals the Blazers could swing before or on the day of the draft.

The No. 1 pick probably isn't going to be traded, but the Blazers, have four other second-round picks to use as leverage, to move plyers or get veteran talent. So the Blazers may just wait to see what offers come their way, and if a deal falls the right way they could look at using the top pick as completing a package deal. For instance, if they swing a deal for a small forward they like, it could nudge them more toward Oden. Or if Zach Randolph were swapped for a center, it could nudge them toward Durant. The source seemed to believe there were still several factors that go beyond Oden and Durant waiting to play out before a decision could be made.
