This is unfortunate. He was a great player before his knee injuries.

That's a shame. I've heard of injury prone players, but portland lately has been an injury prone FRANCHISE. Bummer

Yes, this is a shame...at least he still has that moment against Dallas last season in the playoffs...

Of course, it kind of serves as a reminder of what could have been too...

You know what? he went to Garfield high school, about a mile from where i lived before. I watched him play in HS and in UW. He only played for 5 seasons, man if he went straight to the league instead of 4 years of college, he would of at least gotten 9 seasons out of his career. 27 is too young, he is at his prime. he could of went back to college afterwards... so sad to hear...
