OMFG blazersedge Ben Golliver BREAKING NEWS: BLAZERS CENTER GREG ODEN TO UNDERGO MICROFRACTURE SURGERY, DONE FOR THE YEAR http://sbn.to/bR08Tt
guessing his agent is kicking himself right now for not accepting anything that might have been offered in ways of an extension. Glad we didn't trade Joel I guess.

I feel like I want to throw up. This might be the final nail in the coffin of me caring like I do about the Blazers.
My initial thought as well. Unfortunately, the same news release is on the Blazers' web site. I hurt as a Blazers' fan, but I hurt worse for Greg. Totally unbelievable.
This just fuckin' sucks balls! Do you think his career is over? http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/11/breaking_news_blazers_greg_ode.html
Tough break for us; tougher break for him. There's going to be a lockout and who knows how he'll return from this in 2012-13, or even if he'll be a Blazer.
Wow, I don't know how I'd get through this if I were him. I think a big part of me would want to skip the surgery and just retire with what I made on my rookie contract.
On the bright side, after last year, this year, and the lockout year next year he should be well-rested. barfo
A very star-crossed player. I feel bad for Oden. That probably spells the end of his career in Portland, at minimum.
Following this team gives me more pain than pleasure. And yet, I don't know why I keep on being a fan. Sighhhh
If he comes back it almost certainly won't be as a Blazer, new CBA/looming lockout aside, to even make Oden a restricted FA the Blazers would have to give him a qualifying offer of over 8.5mil. I don't see how they can give him that after this latest setback, which means he'll be an unrestricted FA, and I doubt he comes back to Portland.
