    We still needed to thin out the troops. With Canby we have a legitimate chance with this group to make the playoffs without Roy.

    It is worth the chance to try because we need IMO, to keep the fans engaged and looking forward to next year's ticket sales.

    If Roy can come back before the playoffs we have a legit chance to maybe progress to the second round.

    The problem is before last night, the team was 4-6 in the last ten WITHOUT Roy. Camby will help with the winning percentage between now and the end of the season but I still think making the playoffs without having Roy for the remainder of the season is going to be a a challenge. Had I known that Roy felt "his season was in jeopardy" a day before. I wouldn't have made a move to bring Camby in. He really is the key to making the playoffs and advancing.

    Now that's a statement I can get behind. And I'd even take out the "Roy-Less" part.

    how i can i be a fan of a guy who has had 2 major knee injuries before he turns 22?

    while durants team with less talent is 2 games ahead of us.

    and honestly... i would take durant over roy in a heartbeat. durant will be a top 3 player in 2 years. sad truth.

    Durant over Roy is an easier decision for me that Durant over Oden. Talented wing-for-talented wing is kind of a wash. I'm homeristic when it comes to Oden, though. In the time he's on the court, he was pretty darn fabulous for a guy with 30 college games and 80 NBA games in his life. I don't see multiple injuries to different body parts as systematic...not like, say, Bynum's multiple surgeries on the same joints. :dunno:

    So, you think Durant would have been a better pick than Oden?

    He is already a top 5 player. When you consider that pretty much everybody after 1 and 2 is about the same level for a few players, he could easily be considered a top 3 by some, now.

    Now that being said, we can only deal with the hand we have been dealt and try to move forward, and make the best out of the situation we have. The facts are, we have Oden, and we have to move forward, and no amount of lamenting over the past will change that. All we can do is hope management learns from their experience, and move forward.
