No one really knows what he has left in the tank or how healthy he can stay, but if he can stay healthy he is such a huge defensive asset. Injury jokes aside.
Here's hoping for Oden/Kirilenko instead of Bonner/Blair.
blair is goin gto be a hawk
damn were really in it for him huh...
I sign him for the le
thomas says he is in game shape
I would replace blair with oden in a heartbeat
dude can go against duncan in practice
I absolutely want Greg Oden badly. Hopefully he chooses the Spurs. It would be the best place for him IMO.
I wanted the Spurs to take a chance on his last season before they signed Baynes. I still want the Spurs to take a chance on him now. Hopefully he signs with us instead of the Heat.
I wonder if Mills has been doing some recruiting on getting Oden here. They were teammates in Portland and always at the end of the bench. Wonder if there is any friendship connection there.
Spurs need to take a chance. It's amazingly low risk/high reward.
His legs give out on him again? OK. A small gamble didn't pay off.
He somehow overcomes his injuries... have you seen his stats when he actually played? They were incredible.
As far as I am concerned, if Miami gets him and he turns his injury woes around, you might as well hand them their 3rd consecutive title.
Personally, I strongly believe he is going to once again break down...perhaps even before the season starts.
But again, the risk is worth it.
Oden > Splitter Tbh and we can get him at 1/4 of the cost.....

Oden would be Blair's replacement.
That's an upgrade.
[Kirilenko would be Jackson's/McGrady's replacement.
That's an upgrade.]

Exactly. The guy is a 25 y/o former #1 pick whose problem has never been talent or motivation. This isn't a lazy kid like Eddy Curry or a talent reach like Olowokandi. See if he can get his body right on your watch and minimal investment. If not, you gave it a shot, and didn't give away much. If so, you got a huge steal, and your big man to slide in for Duncan for the next decade.Quote:

Revenge for Batum bitches. Although that did all lead to us getting Kawhi.
oden apparently dislocated his hip when he was in 6th grade and has one leg that is slightly longer than the other. he is basically predisposed to injury. not to mention he has had not one, but three, microfracture surgeries (one of the most difficult procedures to ever fully recover from). he is high, high risk but i'd be okay with a one year deal as long as it does not preclude us from a shot at a more viable option.
Not only that, but the cartilage that grows back after MF surgery isn't as strong as the original cartilage and more susceptible to damage. Very risky to play NBA ball with that goin on in your knees.Quote:

Someone give David Robinson his cell number.
At this point in the offseason after the signings of Splitter and Ginobili this is the most realistic acquisition I want for the Spurs. He is low risk and high reward. A guy I think back to having injury after injury is Antonio McDyess. McDyess was a huge contributor for the Pistons after all of his injuries. Hopefully, Oden can be the same type of player. The one way small ball can be countered is if a team has two good one-on-one offensive bigs.
