For some reason, medical/training types often inspire a kind of irrational loyalty. However, let's look at his year's fiasco.

Oden: out of shape,overweight, underdeveloped in lower body and overdeveloped in upper body after a year of training,  (They said he did everything asked of him. Surely his leg muscles should have been well developed in order to protect his knees.)

Frye probably rushed back too soon.  (According to his comments at the end of the year.)

Webster came back too soon.  Loses an entire year to an ambiguous injury. Will he ever be the same?

Blake rushed back too soon.  Re-injured. Now facing serious surgery that could keep him out for six months. .(See Real GM forum for a discussion on this.)  This affects strategy for the entire summer.

One could add Aldridge. Rushed back after a concussion even though we know how dangerous they can be. Good luck,not good management, here.

All in all, a record of deplorable incompetence. Shades of the Bill Walton fiasco.

(There was also the complete lack of coordination between the coaches and the trainers re Oden. This speaks to an organizational failure that likely falls in KPs lap,)

Compare this to Phoenix, where their hotshot staff rejuvenated Shaq by using the latest techniques.

Recommendation: hire the best person available from Phoenix and start all over again. Failing that,hire at least one or two qualified new people. Failing the guts to do that, at least send our guys to a few seminars so they  can update their skills.

And in the future,fans should stop giving the docs and the trainers all the benefit of the doubt.  From Walton to Oden they have been screwing up.
