Oden ... we need to take a flier on him now!

I don't give a crap if he never plays a game a again. I would sign him now even if our cheap owners had to release 3 players off the bench to keep their tight asses under the luxury!

Dude ever gets healthy he is 10 and 10 and that at the earliest may be next year but it is worth it to me to lock him up for two years. Cheap *ss owners take a flier. BigZ had a very similar injury history then ended up doing all right.

Things don't work out, worse case is he becomes a expiring next season...

Oden is done.

I would definately take a chance on him too.. worth a shot.

Oden is done.

That is your opinion and I am sticking to mine. He is worth a two year flyer. 90% of the league and most fans, including myself, thought Bigz would never play a full productive season with his feet. Oden needs to call him and get the same Dr's and go through the same treatment and see what happens.

I bet he would be willing to give us three years with a TO for the last two.

Seriously, Oden only played 82 games in his NBA career. I love Oden and I would have taken him over Durant 100 out of 100 times at that time but he's had too much too soon and he's just done.

Uh, make it a 3 year contract. He won't even be able to start rehab until 2 years (14 months).

[Buzzard]

Oden has not even played this season and Damp is only outscoring him by .2 PPG. WTF is the harm? If anything teams will applaud us for finally taking a risk at being great.

This is a strong draft for Bigs that actually have the ability to stay on the court.

You act as if Sund is a competent drafter. I wouldn't be shocked if he sold the pick like he did the second rounder.

Oden's best bet to get healthy is to head to Phoenix - they did wonders for GHill and Shaq. Maybe it's something in the water in Phoenix.

Nice. One of my favorite movies...

What do we have to lose? Give me a legit answer. What do we really have to lose?

I'm not against giving Oden a shot, but if all we're expecting is a center that can give us 10PPG/10RPG per night, we've nearly got that in Zaza when he starts.

He should retire...although you have to play first
