Trail Blazers center Fabricio Oberto has announced today that he has retired from the game of basketball due to recurrent palpitations related to a prior cardiac condition. Oberto experienced lightheadedness and dizziness during the first half of Portland’s game at Milwaukee on Nov. 2. “I made this decision to put my health and my family in front of basketball,” said Oberto. “It was a tough decision to make after playing for so many years, but it was the right one.”

Good for him. Health is what is most important. He had a very long and successful basketball career. Really good person from what I’ve heard!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they signed Steven Hill, despite him not being very good.

I like the Steven Hill idea.
Gives us a good big for two games before he goes down for the year. He seems like the kind of player who could maybe last three.
Then maybe Barron.
