Retire today and have a 2-for-1 jersey retirement ceremony.

[Lukor]

Why couldn't the Celtics have won that 2007 lottery? Would have been the funniest shit ever.

Wonder how long till he follows Roy to retirement. Guess he will steal a few more millions while he can.

[jeebus]

I feel bad for Roy, not so much for Oden.

Oden is used to thing need a restructure.

7' people are not supposed to be running up and down a wooden floor jumping and being bodied. Their frame isn't built for it.

his just to big carrying all that weight...

They actually can't do that unless he agrees. That is the purpose of a qualifying offer. It's expensive for the team and risky for the player, nudging them towards a longer term deal. He may miss more time, but then they were stupid for extending the QO.
