    If that guy didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all.

    Time to put him out to pasture, like a horse with a broken leg.

    I don't know what's more sad? Him having yet another set back or the fact it actually didn't phase me?

    It'll be a big relief to me when he retires. Sooner than later, I hope.

    Wow that's sad. Your feelings are more important than this guys life/career. Think the same could be said for a lot of Blazer Manic's.

    So, basically no news here, but a chance to bag on Oden again? Sweet.

    I doubt he'll retire, but I'm sure his Blazers career is over. I don't doubt that some team will take a chance with him on a minimum salary at least.

    Re: Wow, Oden is just a fricking mess

    They treat blood clots with blood thinners like Heparin & Warfarin. They dissolve the clots, but you also can't do any surgery while you're taking them. I don't know how long it typically takes to get results, but would imagine it varies with the size & location of the clot.

    Re: Wow, Oden is just a fricking mess

    I think he'll be better off if he retires too. No more disappointing people or disappointing himself. He can just relax, enjoy the money he's made, and begin his post-basketball life.

    I had to take daily shots of heparin for awhile. They suck.

    there you go throwing in medical knowledge into a purely irrational thread.
