    LOL well I guess it's news. If it's minor surgery; then he can be back by the end of the season. Maybe the end of march.

    As others have said, this is a pretty minor procedure and I hope that it helps Greg feel better soon. I'm certainly not counting on him for much, if any, contribution this season, but I'm just rooting for him to be able to get back on the court as soon as he can.

    Oden may have blood cots in his ankles...wow. Feel bad for the kid.

    "A league source has informed CSNNW.com said that Oden also has been experiencing discomfort in his ankles and further testing revealed he has blood clots."

    To make matters worse, a source tells http://CSNNW.com that Greg Oden has blood clots in his ankles

    If the org wants to keep him, then these setbacks should reduce his FA price this summer even further. I hope we keep him. He's doing no harm sitting in the 15th roster spot making $1M of Paul's money.

    This is worse than Celtics losing Len Bias. At least the fans and team was able to move on.

    I know I'm sounding like a debbie downer on this issue. It just seems like the possibility of Oden is a distant reality. He may never even have a career in the NBA, being fragile like this. He is a banger-type player. If he was a outside shooter; then injuries can be manageable. With Oden; this is devastating.

    This whole situation just feels like one of those

    "Would you take 10 million dollars if it meant fucking up your body?" Hypothetical questions.

    He is not injury prone . . . just a string of bad luck.
