08-09 Outlook for Blazers

The Blazers will be a team that is looking to compete in the very competitive Western Conference. As of now this looks to be their lineup:

C- Greg Oden

PF- Lamarcus Aldridge

SF- Travis Outlaw

SG- Brandon Roy

PG- Steve Blake/Rudy Fernandez

BENCH- Martell Webster, Joel Pryzbilla, Channing Frye, Jarrett Jack, 08 Draft Pick

The Blazers could compete with this lineup and do fairly well, but it's no secret that the Blazers lack experience. With Webster, Jack, Rodriguez, and Blake all likely on the bench they could stand to make a trade to pick up some veteran experience.

They do not need a blockbuster deal, and they should not trade any of their franchise center pieces (Roy, Oden, Aldridge) but they could truly benefit by picking up a veteran somewhere along the line just to bring some playoff experience to the team.

If the Blazers want to make a run for a top seed in the Western Conference they will need a veteran player to get them through the 82 game season. A veteran that has been to the promise land and who knows how to compete in high pressure situations.
