It's obviously been reported on just about every site that Greg Oden (#1 draft pick and presumed starting Center for the Portland Trailblazers) will miss the entire 2007-08 season while recovering from microfracture knee surgery.
I drafted Oden in an experts league about 4 days before the announcement that he would have exploratory knkee surgery. As we all know, that led to the microfracture, for which the recovery time is 8-10 months. Never you mind, though. I do still plan on not sucking.
Find out how after the jump.

That's when people who write about fantasy basketball get together so they can do a mock draft. The league continues through the year and the winner gets to brag about beating people who supposedly know a lot about fantasy basketball.

Media Needs to Calm Down
I guess Portland was picked to win the NBA Championship this year and I missed it. Greg Oden missing his rookie season does not mean the franchise should shut down, does not make Oden the worst #1 pick ever and does not mean his career is over. Oden was not drafted to make an immediate impact, but to bring great success to the franchise in the long-term.

There are some things the media does that make no sense to me. Sure, Shaq's comments about Greg Oden could be considered news. But, the fact that he called Oden a low level ninja needs to be removed from the headlines.We all know Shaq is going to call people out and say some funny things while doing it. But, I'm tired of it taking center stage. What matters is his team lost...

We noted that Obama's call to Greg Oden should be viewed as more a plow for O to score points with Ohio voters than to give actual rationale to vote for the candidate.
That said, at least Oden is a "name," particularly in the key primary Buckeye State. It's smart.
Look out Greg Oden, Sen. Clinton gets Youngstown's Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik's endorsement.

The Blazers won the NBA Draft Lottery and with that victory the team has the option of selecting Greg Oden or Kevin Durant. I can't explain how excited I am as a Blazers fan.
