The Portland Trail Blazers hold a significant place in NBA history, particularly through their association with oft-injured players like Greg Oden and Brandon Roy. Both Oden and Roy are seen as examples of the team's unfulfilled potential due to their respective injury issues. With a healthy Oden and Roy, alongside a young LaMarcus Aldridge, discussions arise about the Blazers' ability to contend at a higher level during that era. Ultimately, Oden's injuries limited his impact, leaving fans to contemplate the “what-ifs” surrounding the franchise's lineup during that time. Despite these challenges, Aldridge has achieved enough accolades to potentially earn Hall of Fame recognition, highlighting the contrasting fates of the Blazers' big men.
