Should the Trailblazers take a look at Greg Oden for a second stint with Portland?

I mean, his agent clarified that he will be a dominant all star in years to come and with the uprising of JJ Hickson, and the bench with no depth, I wouldn't see why not. Oden can be a role player and if Hickson opts to not re-sign he will become a free agent. Most likely, I would like to see Hickson re-sign and it 1-2 years I'd like to see Oden retake his starting role at the center position. Then, I would like to see the Blazers to try and trade a package of Wesley Matthews and others for a better, more capable starting SG, like Tyreke Evans. Also, they would pick up a bunch of FAs to make there bench have more depth.

In a year, how would a lineup of:

Damian Lillard

Tyreke Evans

Nick Batum

LaMarcus Aldridge

Greg Oden

Bench:

JJ Hickson

Jose Calderon

Nolan Smith

Meyers Leonard

Wayne Ellington (signed as free agent this summer if Cavs decide to clear cap space)

Jared Jefferies

Vince Carter (assuming Dallas doesn't re-sign him.)

Maybe two other spots.

    Bringing him at the league minimum is a no-risk, no-lose scenario; but Portland will not revisit this, again.
