Kevin Durant’s Ghost ‘Alive and Well’ in Portland, Says Bleacher Report

When looking at some of the biggest “What If” moments in Portland Trail Blazers history, many stem from the mid-2000s.

What if Greg Oden stayed healthy?

What if the Blazers drafted Kevin Durant?

What if Brandon Roy stayed healthy?

All of these scenarios, if they went as anticipated, could have led to the second Blazers title in franchise history.

According to Bleacher Report, the biggest “What If” in Blazers history comes at the top of the 2007 NBA Draft.

“Oden’s career swiftly dissolved from fantastically promising to doomed by injury,” Bleacher Report editor Bryant Knox said.
