I hope this doesn't force Portland into giving a bad contract (full mid-level) to Carl Landry.
 
Sebastian the renegotiations are because he didn't follow rehab procedure. Read the article.
 
ok. let's talk about the wording here:

The contract agreed upon today comes after both sides mutually agreed to negotiate a new deal that is independent of the qualifying offer.


So....is there no Qualifying Offer, just a one year deal? Or is it the QO + a new deal. Is he still an UFA at the end of the season?
 
i do agree that anyone who was "banking" on oden this year was really drinking the kool-aid. to me it's not so much about this year being lost but the thoughts of having a "dynasty." that was dying a slow death already, but today it was taken off of life support and the reality is sinking in.

I don't believe we have the full MLE, since Roy's contract is on the books until April we only have the mini-MLE.
 
Ug maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm a little upset about Roy. Now learning of this shit? Btw, yes Oden and brass can actually renegotiate a multiyear contract. The qo is basically mutually off the table.

Here is Quick's report:

http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2011/12/trail_blazers_greg_oden_suffer.html

Unless I am totally mind-blocking a comment, there is no words on him not following rehab procedure. Larry Miller only says he has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation.

Here is the press release from Portland:

As with the report from Quick, unless I am totally mindblocking something, there is no word that Greg did not follow the proper procedure. Rather, he has just suffered a setback. A setback does not mean someone did something wrong, it just means something went wrong.
 
WOW just WOW! Its probably wise anyways to sit him this year. Back to back to back games? I dont think so.

As I understand it, this kind of deal is a substitute for the standard QO that can only be used when the player eligible for the QO is physically unable to perform. It is the same as the standard QO in all regards *except* the $$ value.
 
Jason Quick @jwquick

Oden's setback is with a non-weight bearing ligament. He has no symptoms and doesn't feel restricted, but there is concern w/ the fragility
 
So was he truly cleared for running and pivoting? If so how much of a concern is it really? Im so damned confused today. Its like we are told one thing and then the complete opposite happens.

Oden must have been playing a lot of Skyrim during the lockout.

He used to be a basketball player until he took an arrow to the knee.

Skyrim? When was the last time you saw GO sky to the rim?

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::clap:

thank you for this
 
If he's probably going to miss the whole season why are we even giving him this contract?

Seems like if we re-sign him there should at least be a team option for next season.
 
Is today the worst day ever in the history of the franchise?

The 2000 game 7 loss was pretty bad. I'd say this isn't quite as bad since much of the writing was already on the wall with both these guys.
