It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about a Portland Trail Blazers dynasty in which Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and LaMarcus Aldridge ruled, and where Nicolas Batum was a super role player, even garnishing comparisons to Scottie Pippen.
Flash forward 7 years, and only .5 of those 4 dynastic cornerstones remain with the team.
The latest departure, via trade with the Charlotte Hornets, is Batum. As we bid adieu to the flying Frenchman, the Blazer's Edge staff shares their reactions to his departure.
