For the last couple of years the Portland Trail-Blazers have been on the come up and on the verge of big things in the Western Conference. Well this needs to be the year the Blazers make noise or else there could be major movement on the team. Injuries have hurt the Blazers more then any other team in the NBA, but they still won fifty games last season. The pick up of Marcus Camby was smart and he'll probably see the majority of the minutes this season. The Blazers need to ease Greg Oden because one more injury could end his career. Joel Przybilla is another solid center, but he is coming off injury too. If Oden and Przybilla split the back up role in the beginning of the season I think the Blazers have a shot at keeping Oden healthy. Andrew Miller and Brandon Roy will look to improve upon last season and another year together will likely help the chemstry issues they have. Both players need the ball to be good and that is taking away from Roy's growth. The Blazers have to much talent and that leaves players like Rudy Fernandez and Jerryd Bayless without minutes. The Blazers need to make smart moves and they could turn a couple of pieces into players they could use. LaMarcus Aldridge is solid at power forward, but needs to be more aggressive. Aldridge settles for way to many jumpers and needs to attack the basket.
