Do you think the Blazers are a serious threat to rule the west in the next 3-5 years?

Brandon Ray - franchise player


Lemarcus Alridge - Martell Webster both young high draft picks





and face it if Oden can avoid injury


hes not gonna suck he might not be Patrick Ewing


but at the very least he will be a big guy there to get some rebounds and block some shots i personally think he will do more





the current powers of the west are aging


i think if the Blazers can keep these same players


they can be the dominate team of the west in the next few years|||Oden is still a question mark. He needs to show he can play in this league. If he can...I definitely believe Portland can be a major contender shortly.





Roy and Aldrigde are the real deal in my opinion.





They are 5 games above 500 this year and could possibly nab a 7 or 8 seed this year.





Give Roy and Aldridge a couple more years...and a productive Oden, this team could be a 1-3 seed.





I see Phoenix as not being a major threat in a couple years. Dallas is still young but it look like Dirk is running out of gas. The Spurs are old.





Look out for the Trailblazers|||there's a high chance if and only if they won't make any major changes in their team...|||When Oden comes back of course. This team is downright dangerous as is AND they are all young.|||Maybe but there is no guarantee Oden will ever be healthy. Dude is 19 and had major knee surgery. He was hurt in college injured his whole rookie year in the league and there is no guarantee he'll be any good he didn't really dominate college just the championship game in which he lost. Martell is not that good but Roy, Aldrige, and Outlaw you have a future but the Lakers, Hornets and Jazz will rule for the next 3-5 years|||they are a young team so maybe.|||yea I think in 3 years the Blazers will get in like 7th to say 4th of the west|||they're a threat! but not to rule the west. brandon roy is beginning to be there franchise player indeed. lamarcus aldridge is solid. martell webster? hmm... greg oden? he's for real for sure. but hey! i think yah they're aging. suns? spurs? but dont come the lakers and mavs. they're at there peak. even 3-5 years from now. they're legit and can compete. especially the lakers.
