The local media has been in a frenzy in anticipation of the NBA draft today. Oden is seen as franchise salvation, and indeed thousands more season tickets have been sold in anticipation of his draft and arrival. A series of stupid decisions by management filled the team in recent years with talented thugs and jerks who couldn't stay out of trouble until the team became an embarrassment to the city. Everyone longs for the good old days of Walton and championship playing. Oden has a lot of burden on his young shoulders, but he does seem like a nice guy for a change.
