    Oden didn't ever play half as good as Griffin. (NBA)

    The jury is still out on Oden... IMHO.

    Now, Griffin is on a whole different level... the little we saw in the preseason showed his game is NBA ready...

    DeJuan Blair was supposed to be the one with bad knees
    By Buck Harvey on Oct 27, 09 10:52 AM | Permalink | Comments (0) Save & Share Yahoo! BuzzYahoo! Newsvine del.icio.us Facebook Google Reddit Fark
    But people forget. Blake Griffin suffered injuries to both knees in his freshman season with Oklahoma.

    Five minutes into a game at Kansas in January of 2008, Griffin sprained a knee ligament and doctors thought he could be out four weeks. He missed only one game. Then he partially tore a ligament in his other knee later in the season against Texas A&M. Again, he missed only one game.

    Blake called these injuries "blessings" at the time. OU won both games without him and developed some depth.

    Maybe the Clippers can draw on this. The kid has been hurt before, but he's also come back quickly before.


    Still, scouts noticed. When the Los Angeles Times put together a mock draft in the spring of 2008, when there was still a chance Griffin could leave the Sooners after only one season, the opinion was this: "Young bull but knees are a question."

    Griffin worked out with a San Francisco trainer in the summer of 2008 to increase knee strength. He then proved to be durable his sop re season, and no NBA general manager would have passed on Griffin last June because of heath concerns.

    But for anyone looking, the latest news wasn't just about bad luck. There were signs.

    If Clippers are out of the playoffs race at the trade deadline, they will likely trade Camby. Griffin being out for an extended period won't surely help them to reach the playoffs.

    Spurs tried to get Camby at the deadline. I don't know it they are still interested and if they will be the team with the most attractive package but this injury puts Camby a little more on the trading block.

    We'd be unstoppable with Camby but managing minutes would be tough for Pop and The Beast plays less.

    Pop could play the rookie card on that one and say Blair 'needs to refine his game' or 'learn the playbook/team defense concept' while giving his minutes to Camby...

    Really sucks for Blake but that article by Simmins was just hilarious. And a little sad, too. I always felt that Baylor was a out of his element as a GM. One of those examples where being a great player (McHale being another one IMHO) doesn't mean you understand the business side of BB or for that matter how to evaluate talent.

    Good Luck recovering and hope to see you playing this year since I was really looking forward to watching him play. His game looks NBA ready and this is a shame.

    The Curse continures!

    We need more size....Camby would give us great size. I love Blair. but in order to really be secure for a championship we need size to battle the Lakers/Celtics....

    Bill Simmons told him to run. He didn't listen.

    Clips should just be sold and become the new Seattle Supersonics. There is no point of their existence. The black hole of sports.

    Of all things, I really hope Simmons doesn't feel good that Griffin is actually injured.

    I agree, but just don't see any valid trades the Spurs could do to get Camby including the ever popular Finley + Bonner....
