Greg Oden: Warming Benches Since 2007

[Apollo]

Greg Oden was drafted in 2007. Three years later he's now played a career total of 82 regular season games. At what point do the Blazers entertain moving him? What do you think his price tag is right now?

[Bendit]

The price tag will depend on what his xrays, mri & in his case dna reveal. His bones and tendons may have a propensity to snap easily. I would not invest too much in him unless all of his medical data were made available. Of course my dna remark was a bit tongue-in-cheek for obvious reasons...but the request is not without precedent. Mr. Curry with the Knicks was asked by the Bulls to undergo such a test because of a heart condition but refused...and then got traded courtesy of Isaiah.

Who says history doesn't repeat itself? 23 years later and Portland select Same Bowie again while a huge successful future talent is picked by another team.

I just hope at least Blake Griffin will have a good career.

On the NBA wire today, The Heat are very interested in acquiring Oden

[Gurk]

The sooner Oden leaves Portland the better it will be for is career xD

This guy was going to be a bust anyways, much like Thabeet.

how about dealing for Oden if Colangelo? i know he'll play like a quarter of the season, hes a defensive minded centre, and when hes on the floor hes not that bad. just a thought

How so? Thabeet isn't good enough to handle D-league players, Oden has handled himself quite well, beyond fouls, while playing NBA games. 11 and 8.5 with 2 and a half blocks aren't bust numbers.

Off-topic: I'd like Joel Pryzbilla "the white Gorilla" as a good veteran big man for the Raptors.

I believe you meant The Vanilla Gorilla Joel Pryzbilla! But anyways, I'd take him or Oden, Portland has a log jam at C but all 3 are injury prone guys so they might wanna keep all 3 in case one goes down.

[Marz]

It's not a logjam for the precise reason you stated: injuries. Portland is intentionally paying 3 centres for insurance purposes.

what did you expect... it may say he's only 22 on his birth certificate, but he's as agile as an 87 year old, look for yourself.
