08:06 AM ET 09.22 | In retrospect, perhaps the Trail Blazers would have played things differently with Greg Oden. [Oden] feels like he'll sign the qualifying offer from the Blazers, play one season, then become and unrestricted free agent. He's not dumb. Oden holds all the leverage now, mostly because the Blazers handed it to him when they foolishly failed to extend his rookie contract. What we're talking about really, is an organization that once believed it was headed somewhere great having to come to grips with the notion that it's really starting over again. An amnesty deal will be part of that. So hire someone competent, Portland. Hire them quickly. And let the guy go to work.

With the talent and size that Portland has a healthy Oden will help lead the Trailblazers to an NBA title before OKC . Yeah I said it on 9/22/2011
