Sam Bowie II Out Again

It seems like the Blazers just can't get a break. Greg Oden is once again going to undergo a knee surgery. This one is on his left knee. Blazers athletic trainer Jay Jensen was in an emotional breakdown as he answered reporters questions during a live press conference on NBA.com. Greg has been compared to Sam Bowie who the Blazers picked before...yes, it hurts to say this...Michael Jordan, arguably the best basketball player of all time. Sam Bowie, like Oden, was a bust. Greg Oden was picked with the #1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft before arguably the current best basketball player, Kevin Durant, who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant is picked on a majority of fantasy teams according to ESPN.com. Greg Oden will not return at all this season. His previously scheduled return date was January 2nd, 2011 against the Houston Rockets. Greg Oden will be a restricted free agent next summer, although it is highly unlikely that any team will give him an offer sheet. Joel Przybilla, also injury riddled, will more than likely appear during the Blazers vs. Hornets game the day after Thanksgiving, which I will attend. Former Hornet Sean Marks will back up centers Marcus Camby and Joel Przybilla.
