Still trying to figure out wtf is going on, this was a total surprise.

Seriously, fuck Paul Allen.

well he has a feud with their star, i can understand this.

The "star" you're referring to isn't our star anymore.

 

[SaintFan25]

This goes a lot deeper than that too btw. If you know Paul Allen he likes to have a GM he can manipulate to do whatever he says to do, Cho isn't like that. He's not a pushover and wants to be able to do his job rather than have someone like PA do it for him. Again, fuck Paul Allen. He's slowly becoming Al Davis.

Dang...did not see this coming. Hopefully it works out the best for them. Not sure if Cho was big on Oden or if the other management was, but I still hope they keep him.

Yeah I hope we keep him, dude's a beast when he's healthy, problem is we have to see if he can even get healthy. I'm hearing that we will keep him but I also hear we won't so we'll see.

 

[Pugz]

its gonna be tough. i think they should. the rumored three year deal with an option for a forth sounded about right. id keep him around.

I heard his agent said that he plans on playing next season...that would be great, but he can't comeback before he's ready. And he's gotta wear those braces.

 

[Pugz]

a lot of other players complain that getting banged around by those heavy duty braces hurts. i remember when jermaine oneal wore them, a few players said they would get knots and bruises from his braces banging on their legs.

As long as its not hurting Oden lol.

I expect him to be back a couple months into the season, he probably won't be 100% till the season after though.

To me I think it would be more like the all-star break. But I hope its sooner than that. He hasn't even started running yet.
