Sherman Alexie on Greg Oden

[Minstrel]

If I remember correctly, when the Celts "tanked", Pierce was vocally pissed cause he was healthy and being held out of games.

Ah. Well, then, in that case, I guess I was wrong and the league isn't concerned with that.

To me, it seems that there's not a lot of hope for the immediate (10 month) future.

There isn't.

Unless we can recycle the non-Roy/LMA/Oden players into something Gasol-like, I'm having a hard time thinking we'll make it out of the first round, and a hard time thinking we'll be bad enough to get a difference-maker in the draft.

When your manchild center goes down with a season-ending injury, all bets are off. I just hope Oden can come back NEXT YEAR. We can still root for the Blazers and enjoy watching the games, but this team is going nowhere in the playoffs.

I love Sherman's work and all, but maybe he should stick to that now that he doesn't have a team?
