Greg Oden easily.

I think Kevin Durant is more talented, but good centers/big guys are so damn rare. It's difficult to pass on a big talent like Oden. Good swingmen are easier to come by.

You have to take Oden first. Durant might be the better player in the long run, but you can't pass on Oden at 1.

Players like Durant are available by other means..

I'd take Oden, even though I firmly believe that Durant is a greater talent.

I also believe that the dropoff from Oden to any other big man that they could acquire is greater than the dropoff from Durant to another swingman.

Durant. He is not only an amazing talent, but he actually loves the game of basketball, unlike Oden the dentist.

I can see that trade working out for both sides.

wally who ?

ahh Wally Szczerbiak

I'd say the Celtics got the better of that trade. Those two vets are decent role players for depth. Green better turn out to be really good.

Wow.. I can't believe the Celtics made that deal. Sonics just pwned the draft!

West is a great player with a lot of talent and Wally is still really solid. Allen is getting old and won't put the Celtics over the top, the needed youth.
