    Good for him. Too bad there are so many in here who can't seem to let go...

    You can't "move on" if you were never really here to begin with.

    It makes it more difficult to "let it go" when Durant plays in our division and we are constantly reminded of what could have been.

    Yeah, I don't get the angst over Oden. He was the right pick at the time, shit happens and it didn't work out, and I'm long past worrying about him. Hope he has a decent career, but he's never going to be the player that we all thought he would be when he was drafted. Hope he sucks tonight.

    Yep, gave the city the SHAFT. Or at least, a pic of one.

    I dont hold anything against Oden and wish him the best in his return to the NBA but it is hard to think of him without a little pain. His last setback and then us waving him later that year. It was the end of Roy/Oden/LMA three headed monster since we knee Roy's knees would never be the same, the end of any dynasty talk.
    With Oden it will always be a what-if, what if we drafted Durant, what if Oden was able to stay healthy.
    Ill always root for him outside of him playing vs us but his name will always remind of an end to that chapter of the Blazers.

    Seems LA, Wes and Nic might do something nice for GO like a case of wine in their lockerroom before tipoff?

    I don't care if former Blazer players come out motivated or not in a game against the Blazers. What I DO care about is whether or not the current Blazer players come out motivated or not.

    Wine? I bet he prefers Long Island Ice Tea. In like a 64 ounce Slurpee cup.

    Watch him go from being with the Blazers with a broken leg to being a champion on the heat.

    It's tough to say he moved on when he was really never here. 82 games in four years. Crikey.

    i guess it was like a slow death of an acquaintance for me, by the time he actually kicked the bucket, i had already made my peace

    RIP fevered dynasty dreams, you will surely be missed

    until we meet again

    He was a rum and Coke guy. That's fairly well-known in certain parts of the city.
