Greg Oden DONE for Entire Season!

The knee problem was far worse than expected.

cartilege damage and micro-fracture of tibial plateau,
same kind of injury that hurt guys like Klayton Korver and possibly Josh Dotzler.

This will actually help Portland as it helped San Antonio when Robinson went down; i.e. Tim Duncan.

excellent point Mike. I'd sacrifice a season in exchange for a dynasty any day ...

I don't know how many more high draft picks they need. This really stinks for Portland and Oden. They just aren't good at drafting. How smart would their GM look right now for drafting Durant? (That obviously may change in a few years) It stinks when good players and seemingly good people in the NBA get hurt for the season, and Artest is unbreakable.
