The list of questions are very interesting:

Here’s the full text of the memo…. Trail Blazers November 17, 2010 Oden Inquiry
Customer Q&A / Messaging


Q: I want out of my seats.
A: We will accept your cancellation although we hope you do stay with us as the team needs our support more than ever.

Q: You sat on this information and knew all along. You just waited to tell us until you sold seasons and packages.
A: This news is surprising and disappointing. I’d like to send you a copy of the press conference from last night where our medical staff speaks specifically to the nature and timeline of Greg’s most recent injury. Please take a look and then let’s speaking again

Q: The medical staff does not know what they are doing.
A: We have the utmost confidence in our medical staff. Injuries are part of this game.

Q: The season is done.
A: This is very disappointing for all of us. Greg is family and we all feel like we’ve been hit in the gut. What I do know is that this team has faced adversity before and has risen to the challenge. We have a deep roster full of guys who simply don’t quit.

Q: Greg’s career is over.
A: Greg is family and we believe in him. He is just 22 and one of the hardest workers. He wants nothing more than to play and make Portland proud.

Q: How do you know that he’ll be back?
A: We can’t be certain. What we do know for certain is that he has our full commitment as an organization to support him in his comeback.

Q: What about Brandon, will he ever be the same?
A: Brandon has evolved his game in each season he’s been with us. He is a smart and skilled player and if he needs to evolve his game again, he will.
