The Blazers and Clippers are similar in that regard, in that they really need to be playing at a faster tempo to take advantage of the rosters they have. I think the main problem for both overcoming that would be Oden and Kaman, respectively, but Oden is young and can run, from everything I have seen. And I have already opined how Kaman--contrary to what people who haven't seen him play might think--is actually a fairly fluid athlete who is more adept playing with agility and in space than strength on the low block; he would be fine in a faster tempo offense.
