It's a possibility. I would just hate it if they were just made scapegoats for injuries that were beyond their control. If there are any firings because of this, it should only be after some kind of peer review. It's really easy at a time like this to find someone to blame even when it may not be anyone's fault.

Well I can see where both sides are coming from. I think any draft spot not first would have elicited far less is Oden a bust talk, but the fact that he was taken ahead of (or rather instead of) Durant does leave a bitter aftertaste.
A bust in the traditional sense? No. A disappointment? Yes.
I'm pretty sure both the Spurs and the Hornets will even out by the end, I think Spurs will finish around the low 50's and a top 4 seed, Hornets probably gonna wind up in the 40's ... I feel a big letdown and Chris Paul collapse/trade demands, etc.
wow blake griffin is a beast! he has some serious ups...too bad he can't shoot free throws though T_T
man the blazers are in deep shit. you gotta feel for oden. he just doesn't isn't the durable player he (and maybe everyone else) wants to be. i think he better start thinking of other ways to make money for obvious reasons...
what's almost as sad is roy's situation. the face of a franchise on a team with so much promise. unfortunately he does a penny hardaway and we all know how that turned out. damn knee injuries are the worst..hopefully he and oden can turn it around, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim
Jarret Jack, David Andersen, and Marcus banks to NOH for Peja, and Jerryd Bayless.
Good for Toronto, adds another "Young Onez" as in bayless has the ability to elevate and finish. Peja for some outside shooting, and to retire in a nice city. Im not sure about NOH, Jack can play D, which is good, Andersen isnt anything special, he has good positioning, and footwork, but thats probably it, and Marcus Banks i havent seen play enough to be critical.
Oh and those blake dunks are a joke, Hi Mozgov, i hope you like crotch in your face. PIZDEC !
Haha, Derek Fisher in today's LA times "It's a shame he [Barnes] couldn't get more looks. He had it going good out there . Not pointing at anyone in particular, but when you're having a god night, obviously you'd like to get as many good looks as you can." hint hint.

That's what happens when a team gambles on injury risks, though. Both Oden and Roy had medical concerns coming into the draft. Portland took a gamble. If it worked out, they'd be geniuses. If it didn't, we have what we currently have.
I don't think anybody can say they're surprised at this. Oden has one leg significantly shorter than the other one. The medical staff of some teams blacklisted him because of this and other reasons relating to his knees.
