Owed In

What defines a "bust?" Is it someone who doesn't perform as well as you expected? Someone who doesn't fit well into your system? Someone who didn't develop as fast as you thought?
While the true definition is quite subjective, one thing is clear:
Greg Oden is the biggest bust in the world. The 10 foot 9 "superkid" has played in just 82 of a possible 328 regular-season games since entering the league in 2007, and that he will have undergone micro fracture surgery on both knees before turning 23.
Ho-ly-smokes. Guy was playing at  an NBA level at the age of 9. His time with the Trailblazers has come to a certified end. Greg "those aren't my knees" Oden will probably find another home though, most likely in a team that wastes money like the Knicks or Clippers.
To think, the Blazers could have drafted a plethora of guys instead of Oden in the 2003 draft:
Kevin Durant, Joakin Noah, Rodney Stuckey, Al Horford, Rudy Fernandez, Aaron Brooks, or Marc Gasol.
Atleast they got themselves a hell of a dancer for the bench.
