He's done. So many injuries in such a short period of time tell you there is something very wrong either with his training or his body. Even if he recovers to 100% which is never a given the chances of another major injury are large.

For me Durant was a no brainer, Oden was a gamble. Big men just don't pan out most of the time.
It's kinda like when they picked Sam Bowie over Jordan in 84. You have to draft the best possible player not just draft a center because you need a center. BTW I'm not comparing Jordan to Durant. Just a similar type of a draft decision by the teams.
