-fucked up on Oden, probably will never play for them again
-Roy unhappy with playing with Andre Miller, demanding one of them be traded
-now major knee issues for Roy, in the beginning of a massive contract extension:

Pretty fucked, I'd say.

I thought they were going to be the hot shit after they drafted Oden.......not so much.

the 'clipper curse' is usually referenced but I'd say Portland almost as much. Clippers future looks much brighter right now, even w/ Vincenzo at the helm

I probably did. I really loved the way they built their team, until they got Oden. I thought they should trade the pick (and no, I wasn't smart enough to see how good Durant could be). I liked Roy, loved LaMarcus Aldridge and wished on this here board that the Bulls had taken both players, in fact wished publically that the Bulls were run by Portland's GM. What confounded me was the Miller aquisition. Not becuase he's not good, in fact he's quite underrated. But it was an obvious mis-match. I didn't mind Steve Blake walking though, I think he's overrated-poor man's Kapn Kirk. I still think they're very talented and have a decent shot at making the playoffs, especially if Denver blows up and Phoenix continues on course.

Chris Paul has a similar knee issue after having most all of the cartilage from his left knee removed in an operation earlier in the year.

well the Hornets are fucked for different reasons, but yeah

Would this be microfracture surgery? Kidd and Amare seem to be okay after theirs.
