I recall several people questioning the Oden pick. The "honk once, honk twice" billboard existed for a reason--because there was legitimate debate. I certainly supported the Oden pick, but I absolutely understood the arguments of those who wanted Durant.
Roy was drafted through the pick we got from trading Telfair to Boston, so actually, we could have had both CP3 and Roy. Of course, Roy's knees would still have disintegrated, but it sure would have been a fun ride to have both together.
The CW on the Miller trade is that it also precipitated that Smith over Faried pick. THAT, IMO, was the bigger mistake in that deal. However, had we drafted CP3, we would never have signed Miller in the first place.
In any case, it's clear, if you look objectively, that there have been several points over the past decade where management has erred. But that can be said of every team's management. That's the beauty of 20/20 hindsight.
