With the playoffs out of the question it appears as though the Trail Blazers are preparing to welcome Greg Oden into the lineup next season, according to HoopsWorld.
Just a dozen games remain on Portland's schedule, and coach Nate McMillan has begun playing LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy as if Oden is on the court.
"If you have Greg on the other side and leave him (Aldridge) open, that's like leaving Shaq open and double-teaming Amare (Stoudemire)," McMillan said of using Aldridge and Oden together.
"I think when I am down low and teams double-team me, I can just throw it to the rim and he (Oden) can go get it," Aldridge told HoopsWorld.
"If they double him, he can throw it to me in the high-post and I can make that shot all day," Aldridge added. [READ]
