Time for a brain exercise. I’m going to throw out five random NBA players and you tell me if it’s a championship-contending lineup for years to come, bordering on dynasty-esque:
Damian Lillard. Brandon Roy. Nic Batum. LaMarcus Aldridge. Greg Oden.
Oh, I’m sorry Blazers fans! Stop crying! I didn’t mean it! I had no idea that those five randomly-selected players would prompt such violent flashbacks. Okay, let’s throw two more players in there as sixth and seventh men. Again, I’m just grabbing these out of thin air:
Wes Matthews. JJ Hickson.
Hey, come back! Don’t you like my brain exercise? Why are you wailing?
