I feel bad for LeBron's dad... uhh, i mean this kid. I actually even feel bad for Trail Blazer fans (Chad). With all the buzz here in Seattle surrounding Durant, I can't help but think if Portland would have selected Durant and we selected Oden, would the Sonics be gone for sure? The Trail Blazers appear to still be in great shape for the future but this could have been a death blow for the city of Seattle in terms of retaining the team.

Quoted: Celebrated Trail Blazers rookie center Greg Oden, the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, will be out at least until March and may miss the 2007-2008 season after undergoing knee surgery Thursday.
