#1 Pick in the 2007 NBA Draft: Blazers!
#2 Pick in the 2007 NBA Draft: Sonics!
Holy poosticks!
This couldn't have worked out any better. The Blazers will pick Greg Oden, that's a no-brainer, leaving the Sonics with no choice but to take Durant (unless, of course, they ruin everything by taking that Chinese guy).
Durant's a much more dynamic player than Oden--if there were a guy who could save the franchise, it's him.
Sonics Central, still hoping for Oden.
Blazers' Edge, losing their damn minds.
Also, Yuniesky Betancourt hit a homer. This is the BEST FIVE MINUTES OF OUR LIFE!



Seth, you always convince me that I care about sports, for at least a minute. So excited, you are!
Thanks.
Kasa, you should've seen the scene at my house this afternoon. Singing, hugging, spontaneous cheering, drinking, calling people I hadn't talked to in months--all because of the way a few ping pong balls bounced around.
This is what sports are good for--they provide moments of unadulterated joy. Unadulterated misery, too, to be sure, but the point remains.
oh lordy! What an afternoon -- your headline is exactly right, Seth. I-5 battle now the featured game on TNT?? Now if we can somehow get the owner of the team to sell, we'll be set.
Beautiful beautiful day....
Knowing Sonics management, they're probably talking with the Lakers about a Kwame Brown trade.
Do the Sonics currently even have management?
Kevin Durant will enjoy playing in Oklahoma City, I think.
