Breaking: Blazers determine center Greg Oden has suffered setback, and restructure his one-year deal for a lesser amount

 

[Draco]

Guess I'm glad we never offered that multi-year deal...

Oden on Thursday was examined by Dr. Steadman in Vail, and said he was given the nod to expand his activity, indicating he had made progress

But the Blazers, who didn't comment Thursday after his appointment, determined that he is less likely to return to the court this season

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The good news just keeps rolling in.

12/9/11 <--- I curse thee.

I'm done.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I call bullshit. How can you restructure a QO?

BNM

 

[3RA1N1AC]

oh for fucks sake

just waiting for the "LMA cites heart issue, retires"

I call bullshit. How can you restructure a QO?

Yeah, that part was confusing. How can you and why would he?

 

[Draco]

I wonder if thats why his camp all of the sudden urgently announced he was accepting the $8.9 million offer yesterday.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'm not buying it.

fml.

The dream of the 90's is dead in Portland.

 

[magnifier661]

Why act surprised? This fucking cloud hovers over the head of Blazer fans almost every year. For fucks sake!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I'm just upset that this will keep the Blazers from trading him. Yes I know he would have had to approve but the option was there. Not anymore.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

fuck.

 

[Draco]

At least its not like the Theo/Miles extensions where we were locked into crap players for half a decade. We can cut all ties by the end of this season.

 

[Carlito]

Forget oden why the hell isn't la practicing?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Should we just amnesty the QO???? Can we?

You're not watching Blazers.com are you?

Casey just said that LA is not here today because doctors evaluated him extra sensitively because of the recent event at Or. State.

 

[Ed O]

I call bullshit. How can you restructure a QO?

Umm... yeah. I wonder that, too. Sounds weird.

Not the part about Oden being hurt, but the part about the restructuring.

Ed O.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I wonder how Paul Allen & Co. will spin this to season ticket holders. I know of 5 that will opt for occasional single tickets rather than season tickets.

Felton? Camby? as starters? FML

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Felton and camby are fine. but fuck. the end of Oden is the end of championship dreams...far possiblity but fuck, I just wanted to see him out there.

 

[magnifier661]

A fucking mess!

Not if you want to get past the first round you can't have these two as starters.

That makes sense. You always have to be super extra careful with the heart - a situation that is the most 'real' of all injuries.

 

[THE HCP]

The only way this day can get worse is if they find something wrong with LA's heart!

 

[bigbailes]

IF this is true than oden is done here. if he isn't going to play at all this season, then it is time to move forward with the pieces we have and put the whole late 2000's team behind us.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

blah!!!!

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Cursed.

 

[illmatic99]

Oden might not play this year?
