Brandon,

Perhaps LeBron was more hyped. But you wouldn’t know that by the way Portland reacted when it won the lottery. We knew getting Oden was huge. More like getting Shaq than James. No question James is more skilled right now than Oden. But Oden’s upside is enormous and with young, very good players like Roy, Aldridge, Fernandez around him, the championship window for Portland is long. Send Roy, Aldridge and Oden out of here — even for James — and I, for one, believe Portland takes a large step back. Webster, Fernandez, Outlaw, Bayless and James and a few other secondary players won’t win championships. That to me looks a lot more like Cleveland’s roster today.

The only 3 players the Cavs would trade LeBron for are CP3, David West, and Tyson Chandler.

Yeahright – I watched LeBron beat the blazers all by himself last year IN Portland. The Portland media fawns over Roy like he’s a superstar. They talked about him for MVP after the Blazers went on their big winning streak. He’s not an MVP – but a really good second year player. Saying he’s overrated is not a knock on his production – but a knock on his reputation. To me, he is like Joe Johnson only with a better midrange game and a much worse outside shot – and plays less D. Is Joe Johnson a superstar? No – he’s overrated too.

I like Roy’s game, though.

BlazerBall,

I don’t think anyone has entered the league with as much as hype as LeBron had. His high school games were televised on ESPN. He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated before his senior season. I don’t remember Oden’s high school games receiving that type of fanfare.

If he remains healthy, Oden has a chance to be a great center. But talent-wise, LeBron James is on an entirely different level.

Arguably, Oden came into the league as hyped as LeBron. No way Pritchard gives up on Oden until he proves he’s not LeBron plus 4 inches and 30 pounds and less 3 years. Some day it could become a LeBron for Oden deal. Roy is all-star and Aldridge will be soon. Throw those guys in and Cleveland would be nuts not to pull the trigger now. But ain’t going to happen at Portland’s end. Right now, they don’t need LeBron to win a championship.

YeahRight,

It’s a fantasy trade.

It wasn’t meant to educate or inform.

But I agree with you, Pritchard probably wouldn’t give up Oden, Roy, and Aldridge for James.

Maybe the most useless thing I’ll read all week. LeBron James is probably the best player in the game right now, but there’s no way Portland gives up its three cornerstones of a dynasty for one player. Kevin Pritchard has even said he wouldn’t trade Oden for anyone in the league.

And Tsunami, maybe you should watch a little more basketball before making uninformed comments like “Roy is overrated.”

I wouldn’t do that trade. Oden is a big if – Roy is overrated and Aldridge doesn’t play D or rebound.

Lebron is just about all that Cleveland has left. Without him, the Cavs have nothing. Season ticket sales will plummet. Perhaps Gary Payton was right, if Lebron is gone, so is the team. Seattle will be the next home! Let’s hope Lebron commits to this franchise.

Carolyn,

I guess I should have prefaced this blog by stating that I don’t think it’s going to happen. Nor do I want to see LeBron leave Cleveland.

I just thought it was an interesting scenario and a good way to spark discussion.

I hope you didn’t take it too seriously. I know you’re a die hard Cavs fan.
