Quick: Blazers Organizational Culture is Falling Apart

[handiman]

MF isn't the first tool from the tool box Docs typically reach for... it's a bit of a hail mary move for when things have already gone South. Those complaining about it not working out for Roy are forgetting he'd already lost a good chunk of his knee cartilage by the time Portland drafted him, which was the only reason he'd slipped down to them.

STOMP

Roy was meniscus. Oden was MF. Roy opted for the snip treatment for much faster recovery. Pretty shortsighted approach, as it's not long before you have none left... Now, most people seem to go for the actual surgical approach of stitching up the damage.

there was a story that came out sometime after it became apparent that Oden was a bust. Might have been shortly after KP was fired. It said that one of the Blazer drafts picks as red-flagged by the medical staff..."do not select; very high risk"....because of severe medical issues. And another had been yellow-flagged as having significant medical issues..."high risk", The red-flag was Roy and the amber-flag was Oden. KP ignored the medical staffs and chose Roy and Oden anyway

Did you hear whether KP kept info, or deemphasized the medicals, on Oden from Paul Allen?
Can you confirm that McMillan really, really wanted Oden not Durant?

I don't know about any of that. All I remember is that KP simply ignored the advice of the medical staff

Thanks. IIRC I heard something like this (non-media) about the time of the falling out between KP and PA. Could’ve just been scuttlebutt that fit the narrative, at the time, but then again I’m getting older …
