    Well what if Oden says he'll stay on for a cheap deal for the mini-MLE? If he wants to stay in Portland for some reason then maybe in 3 years he has one good season and can help us in the playoffs. Think of Walton having a good season here or there in Boston. I'd keep Oden for a super cheap contract, but yeah if he wants more then MLE he's probably done here.

    My point is that him sitting out most of the season if not another year and getting 100% healthy with us having the option to retain his rights is preferable to having him sit out a chunk of the season and not getting much time to evaluate his value before we have to offer him another contract.

    Essentially, we get a QO mulligan.

    Before i go jump off a bridge Oden is still cleared 4 limited practice right. Even though he had a setback he is still cleared to practice so It can't be all doom and gloom.

    A setback doesn't mean he needs another MF. It's just a setback that doesn't allow him to accept the QO for this year. The entire issue may be procedural. If so, it's good news for us, because he was going to miss the first part of the season anyway.

    You thought Oden was a terrible basketball player. Why would this be any kind of blow in your mind?

    They obviously didn't have a plan-B for this.

    You have a broken down Camby and a 40 year-old Kurt Thomas (maybe) as your center rotation.

    1080 radio guys just said Blazers released statement basically backing up what Quick tweeted. Oden and Blazers are standing by each other and trying to work out mutually beneficial deal.
