What a day for the Trail Blazers!!! I cannot believe all the things they did today, on draft day!
First, they had the #1 pick...drum roll please...Greg Oden. I don't think that was too much of a surprise.
Close to the end of the first round, the Blazers made a deal with the Phoenix Suns who had the 24th pick and they chose Rudy Fernandez who was a Olympic All-Star on Spain's basketball team. In turn, we gave them cash.
In the second round, we got four picks (#37, 42, 52, and 53).
Plus, we made a trade with the New York Knicks. We traded Zach Randolph, Freddie Jones, and Dan Dickau to NY and in return are getting Channing Frye and Steve Francis. It's good to see Zach off but I will miss Freddie and Dan being on the team.
I heard there was a party at the Rose Garden today and a big hoop-la tomorrow downtown when Oden comes into town to join in the celebration with the fans.
Yes, this will be an exciting year for the Blazers, and if you couldn't tell already, I am quite a Blazers fan!!!
Let me know if you have any thoughts about them and what happened today.

Well.. im happy they got rid of Randolph finally.. he needs the LORD asap! i feel bad for poor Dan Dickau who just got adjusted back into the Northwest but im sure he'll do good. im also not sure if i like Oden having the number of one of the best players the Blazers ever had Buck Williams forever #52
i will give Oden credit for already wanting to be active in the Portland community.. so this is good to know. Hmm? i think those are all my thoughts least for now. See ya tomorrow lady! God bless & in Love with Christ always~
