Blazers Win Draft Lottery
The Portland Trail Blazers are no longer lottery losers -- and maybe they won't be hapless on the court much longer, either.
A year after they missed out on the top pick despite the league's worst record, the Trail Blazers beat the odds and won the NBA draft lottery Tuesday night, giving them a chance to pick Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.
"Huge, unbelievably huge," general manager Kevin Pritchard said. "Franchise making. ... Rip City again, here we come."
