Quick: Oden probably won't play this season

In a great article about the haunted hotel in OKC, Quick seems to suggest that not only will Oden not play this season, but we're probably done with him altogether. Would someone in the organization please tell us what the fuck is going on?

I don't think the organization is telling anyone anything and Quick like Clownzano before him is just grasping at straws to try and find something worth writing about.

 

Sucks. I would have liked to see what this team could be with Oden

 

"With everything he writes, Quick seems to suggest that not only is he an assclown, he's a no-talent assclown."

 

To save others the need to read a Quick article, here is the passage Eric is referring to:

Not exactly an indication that Quick knows more than anyone else.

 

Oden probably won't play this season, or next season, or the one after that.

He also didn't play last season, or the one before that . . .

What else is new?

Oden doesn't play basketball. He just collects paychecks.

 

Even if he gets cleared for all basketball activities late this season I don't know how anyone could expect him to contribute. He hasn't played the game in over 2 years, this is the longest period of his life he's gone without playing. After his first microfracture he didn't start to get into his grove until the following year, after he had an entire summer of good health to work on his game. I hope to see him on the court in future seasons in a Blazer uniform but for the present I've accepted Camby, Thomas, and Smith are all far superior options.

 

Ya know at this point I'd love to see him being interesting in sticking around next year on a cheap contract. But I can't blame him or the organization too much if they go in a different direction. I'm a fan of his game and believe he'll eventually have a great season here or there.

 

Really? I see no evidence for that at all.

 

If he comes back this year and gives 15 minutes of solid defense and rebounding I will be thrilled. We are playing well without him and even in a reduced role he would do nothing but make us a deeper and better team especially in the playoffs. I am a big Oden supporter but he is nothing but gravy at this point.

 

The ghost at the OKC hotel is seen in action more often than Oden these days.

 

Yeah, but at least with Oden there is a chance he can come back from the dead.

 

HAHA

and I've said it once I'll say it again, if Quick feels Greg is out the season and won't return I am confident that he will come back this season and resign.

 

I loved the call out. It's what people with confidence do. They aren't afraid to say what everyone else is thinking.

Meh. Quick is merely confirming what some of us figured out a long time ago.

As Shooter said - he doesn't play basketball.

 

Look: if the organization figured Greg isn't going to play again, why pay him ANYTHING? Why not just let him go? After all, Allen's said he's in cost-savings mode. You don't really believe they'd pay him just to string us along? Wait a minute, I think I saw a black helicopter overhead.

 

Yeah seems like people aren't seeing this.

 

Clearly Quick has no idea regarding Oden's status. I think he just dropped that in there to try and get a reaction from the Blazers. In all honesty I don't blame him as I would like to get an update as well.

 

I, not sure we even want him playing if he returns this season. He'll have a lot of rust. We should send him to D-League as sad at that sounds.
