Who’s to say he won’t blow out a kneww next season, god forbid. Look at Tracy McGrady. At one point he was supposed to “Run the League” along side the liks of Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson. Add knee injuries, and a host of back problems, and the fact that he never really worked hard, and now a 7 time all star is a mere footnote in basketball talk. Greg Oden was the logical choice for Portland at the time. I hope he plays again, and reaches at leaste half of his potential.

Everybody else in Portland does it…

CUT YOUR LOSSES!!! The writings on the wall, 82 games in 4 years! that’s 1 full season and 3 completly empty ones. No Bueno…

You see its a slight difference.. Slight!!

Portland with Kevin Durant makes a serious run for the Finals but we will never know….

Slight difference. Very slight.

Only 8.8 million for a guy that has had micro-fracture surgery on both knees!!! What a deal!! I wish I could get that kinda money just for being me.

For a breakdown of how that could happen and what adjustments the other Western contenders need to make next year:
