Although the Portland Trail Blazers ended their 2009-2010 season with an impressive 50-32 record, the state of the franchise is in a much better place now then it was 10 years ago.
With a roster built around Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, and Nicolas Batum, the Trail Blazers had a much more balanced roster 10 years ago than they do today. All of their players played in positions they belonged in, and their roster made sense.
The team ranked 7th in the NBA in offense that year, and 15th in defense.
