So, Oden is out for the season.

How good will portland be?

What if Portland heads back to the lottery and then goes out and drafts O.J. Mayo? How good could they be in the future?

I feel bad for Oden, and I'm not sure why some people who said he was going to be a bust are getting a certain level of satisfaction out of his season-ending injury...but I really hope for his sake that he's not another Kwame Brown type player (or better yet, Sam Bowie).

Couldn't happen to a more deserving team/franchise.

While I may feel sorry for Oden, I put the blame on his mother for holding him out of school for 15 years so he could get a head start on all the other kids. Looks like now the injuries and age is catching up with him.

LOL. I am sad, because I was looking forward to seeing how he would do this year.
