That's not official, but judging by comments made from Jason Quick of the Oregonian, You Been Blinded has done the deductive reasoning for us. Portland has likely turned down Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson for the #1.
From Quick: “I know that two Western Conference teams have offered their superstars in return for the number one pick… And they are Hall of Famers and the Blazers have turned them down on both.”
We touched on this hypothetical topic last week and the general consensus was that Garnett fell right on border. I said I'd have to say no to Garnett but now that's not such a pipe dream I'm reconsidering do to the potential title implications.
I'd turn down Iverson, but Garnett? Would you rather wait for multiple titles 5-10 years down the road or win 1 within the next 4 years. I choose the latter.
