13. Portland Trail Blazers Key additions: Wesley Matthews (FA), Luke Babbitt (draft), Elliot Williams (draft), Rich Cho (GM) Key subtractions: Martell Webster, Juwan Howard, Kevin Pritchard After three years of prosperity and calm, the Blazers reverted back to their dysfunctional ways -- firing successful GM Kevin Pritchard just an hour before the NBA draft. Pritchard stayed on to conduct the draft, but the damage was done. Pritchard has a great eye for talent and was popular with the media, and owner Paul Allen came out of the situation looking out of touch and ready to destroy all the ground the Blazers have made up over the past several years. The Blazers made their only significant move of the summer without a GM. They signed Matthews, an undrafted rookie last year, to a whopping five-year, $32 million deal. He was a great steal on a minimum contract, but the cost here was well above market value. Thankfully, for Blazers fans, the team finally hired a GM and largely made up for its mistake with Pritchard in getting Rich Cho. Cho and Pritchard couldn't be more different. Pritchard is a scout at heart with a charismatic personality. Cho is a system guy who likes to keep a low profile. Cho will likely inject some discipline into the system and won't make any moves for the sake of ego. Most likely the Blazers will stay the course that Pritchard charted off the court. If Greg Oden can finally get and stay healthy, they'll continue to challenge the Thunder as the best young team in the league.
