    No - apparently he has more than one agent. Conley's still with him:

    I think San Antonio would be the best place for Oden. He could play next to Tim Duncan and it would be the new version of the Twin Towers. Although I could see him going to New Orleans because of Monty Williams.

    Blake Griffin had the same injury, worked his ass off and came back at All Star level the following year.

    Most players don't have repeated knee injuries. Again, are you blaming Oden for his injuries? If so, be specific how his laziness, lifestyle and your perceived lack of dedication resulted in the disintegration of his cartilage and the shattering of his patella.

    It has taken him FOUR YEARS to get back on the court after a not as bad injury as Joel Przyvbilla's the same month. This is because he not dedicated himself in rehab. Drinking has played a huge part in this. Why exactly was he not playing last season? Too busy not caring.

    Thank you for not answering my question and well as demonstrating your ignorance regarding the knee joint. Tendons can heal. Ligaments can actually be repaired stronger than they were before. Cartilage doesn't regenerate. Ever lose your meniscus cartilage? I'd much rather tear my ACL and MCL again that have lost my lateral meniscus, which is much better than losing your medial meniscus.

    It's all Oden's fault.

    It means I wish you the best of luck with your opinion. Mine differs. No hard feelings.

    If Oden dominates this year how foolish will the Blazers look?

    Not at all bgd...in fact I'm not sure what you are suggesting even. Should we have somehow forced him to sign with us?

    Why would the Blazers look foolish? From everything that's been said, Oden wanted a fresh start and wouldn't have re-signed with us anyway.
