    Honestly, I haven't been following his case. Is it a "routine" NBA injury, or is it career altering/threatening?

    I strongly believe that if the Blazers wanted to trade Roy, there'd be a number of teams that would trade for him.

    When you consider the age difference, no, absolutely not.

    Jesus I'd be upset if I were a fan of one of those teams. The guy is done, he's got 4.5 years left on his deal and his contract isn't covered by insurance.

    If there's any GM out there crazy enough to look at Oden it's David Kahn.

    I'm just sayin'.

    He's done this season. A lot of guys play on gimpy knees and have had numerous surgeries and come back within 4.5 years to be quality players.

    Is he overpaid? Maybe. A team like Dallas would take him in a heartbeat.

    I find that hard to believe. He couldn't find anything that would fix his knees and is only having these surgeries hoping to reduce the pain. With his contract and with his knees most likely getting worse each year, after all it's doubtful they'll get better, I don't think anyone would take him and if they did we'd have to take back just as much bad contracts most likely.

    In pain and on bad knees, he still puts up 16 PPG and 3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 steals. I think he'll learn to manage whatever pain he has (like Pippen did when he was a Blazer), it's just a matter of when. And "when" is more likely to be a year, maybe two from now.

    Seriously, teams traded for guys like Baron Davis or Hedo.

    With Roys huge contract hanging over us there really isn't that much movement we can do. Oden by himself doesn't get us much at all and most teams will just look at him as an expiring contract so thats what there most likely looking at. I would hope that we resign him to a small deal with big incentives and keep him around. If he gets better and turns into something awesome, if not well then were not in that much worse shape then we are now seeing as Roys huge contract prevents us from doing a lot and were not getting anything worthwhile from oden in a trade.

    I would really consider trading oden if it filled some holes. If a team like Minnesota would trade love and flynn for oden I would do it

    He tried to rest hoping that would help, but then it turn out it didn't and he couldn't play at all. Would you take a risk on him not knowing if this surgery even helps?

    Well I might consider trading Oden for Blake. I'm sure the Clippers would jump at that deal.

    Why on Earth would Minnesota make that trade? Hell, I'd do it as well, move LMA to center, and try to get a decent defensive stopper to fill in for Love late in games where the Blazers have a lead.

    Re: Re: Chad Ford says Blazers hoping to get something for Oden.

    Why draft two point guards in the top ten? Why trade al jefferson for table scraps? Why sign every point guard on the market? Why question anything kahn does?

    There's a limit to stupidity. You're going to be disappointed if you're betting on stupidity.
