Blazers Notes: Lin, Oden, Batum, Hickson

It's a huge offseason for the Trail Blazers as they look to hire their next general manager and build from the ground up.  Earlier this week, Luke Adams gave us an overview of what Portland will be facing this summer.  Here's a look at the latest on the Blazers…

  • Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com wonders if the Blazers will go after point guard Jeremy Lin.  Lin is likely to be retained by the Knicks but could be handcuffed by keeping him if the NBA players association's argument does not go in their favor.
  • Former Blazers center Greg Oden recently underwent the controversial knee procedure that Kobe Bryant underwent, sources told Chris Broussard of ESPN.com.  Bryant has credited the operation with taking years of wear off of his body.  Oden is not considering retirement, and while it's possible he could play by the middle of next season, there is no timetable for his return.
  • Team president Larry Miller joined Chad Doing on 750 AM The Game this morning and Ben Golliver of Blazer's Edge has the goods.  Miller discussed the futures of Nicolas Batum and J.J. Hickson and the club's ownership situation.
