This is getting crazy...this kid was projected to be a top 5 pick if he would have come out last year. I get the medical issues, and I get that back issues are typically a huge red flag, but really? Sully is a better player coming out than Dejuan Blair ever was but he is totally getting the Blair treatment. We should try and nab him with a late first round pick if his stock is really dropping this much.
Chris Broussard of ESPN.com reports that former Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden underwent an Orthokine knee procedure. -------------------------------- In an effort to revive his NBA career, Greg Oden recently underwent the controversial knee procedure that superstars Kobe Bryant and New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez say helped prolong their careers, according to sources. Oden, whose career with the Portland Trail Blazers was derailed by four knee surgeries, had the non-evasive procedure done in New York two weeks ago to accelerate the healing process on his left knee, which was operated on in February. "Greg had long planned to have this procedure done,'' one of the sources said. "He thought he'd wait until his knee was completely healed, but the doctor said Greg would get the greatest benefit by doing it now because it would help his recovery.'' -------------------------------- Back in February, Blazers Acting GM Chad Buchanan said the procedure was something that he expected Oden to investigate. ed: text edited, bumped to front page
Can we just trade Nate straight up for Mike D? While I don't think he's a championship caliber coach, I think his system (as proven by Felton flourishing last season before being traded for Melo) would be a great fit with our squad. I, for one, would love to see what this team can truly do by running an up-tempo system...thoughts?
Follow me here... I was thinking about our early 2000's teams and what made them so (moderately) successful. Sure we had a deeper squad then than we'll ever have now, but bear with me for a...
Remember when we didn't pick this guy? I really hope Nolan Smith pans out...Faried is filling it pretty flawlessly for Nene.
Maybe I'm just weird, but to cope with the retirement of Brandon Roy I just spent the last hour playing NBA 2k11 and creating last second 'situations' with our Blazers - 5 seconds remaining, down...
Surprise! We should waive Pendy and sign this guy, I hear he's got a lot of upside! (And he's a helluvan actor)
Don't know if anyone has touched on this yet, but it looks like Matt Barnes will probably be available via free agency. If Wes Matthews falls through, he seems like a prime candidate to fill the backup 2/3 role. Thoughts?
"Fascinating Port-Phx game. Port was just tougher. Miller/Camby were great obviously but Bayless/Batum were badasses. So impressed by them." and "Nah, it's the "Nobody Believed In Us" theory working here. Roy is a gamer, he's not overhyped. RT @jvflamer Ewing Theory in play with Roy?" and "Hey @ricbucher - what RPG does Camby need in the Phx series for you to admit OKC could have used him in Round 1? 16? 17? 18?" From THE SPORTS GUY!! Via twitter...
Is it just me, or does this guy constantly get the short end of the stick? I realize that Martell Webster isn't the most consistent Blazer we've ever seen, but I think he's proven himself worthy of...
Looky what I found.... 95-96 NBA Hoops card #196 I like that he looks like a young stunt double for Bobby DeNiro in this.
I hope to see a LOT more of this during the season...nothing better than seeing Oden get block of the night.
Remember when we laughed?? Frye has already made 13 threes this season, well on his way to 100!! Congrats Channing!!!!
Is there anything uglier that could make me any happier?? I know its been asked many times before, but how glad are you that we didn't 'draft the stache'? Dude looks like a sinister magician w/ that mustache...gross.
He was chosen to represent McDonald's (and their tasty Big Mac) on the All-American team in 1990 and was one of the top recruits coming out of High School. After blowing off offers from Notre...
Here's a cute little article regarding season ticket sales. Way to go team! This is my first Fanshot, my apologies if I didnt follow the regs.
