Also, Oden plays on a team with more offensive minded players who take scoring chances.
Agreed that Oden will go first and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying whoever ends up with Durant shouldn't be disappointed.
Lurker I'm curious to hear more about what you think of Barnes. I remember him from his coaching stint at Clemson. I don't like him because those teams tended to cross the line from physical into thuggishness.
This is a repeat of 1984, and the choice between Hakeen and MJ. The conventional wisdom is to take Oden, but if you get Durant then life is still grand. Since we have a chance to pick #2 (just like 1984), I am sure we will take Spencer Hawes, or Al Horford instead
. Of course if we get #3 and end up with Brendan Wright I would be happy as well.
Now if we could get Comcast to fire Billy King, and hire WayOutWest as the new GM, and then we could make that Darius Miles for Andre Iguodala deal, and then life would really be great.
