Luis Scola! [/Spurs Dynasty 21]
Who would you choose? Durant or oden? Considering that durant may be the small foward, that can rebound (11rpg in college), definetly shoot, that might be able to guard nowitzki, and the missing piece from last year
On the other hand you have a david robinson replacement, but considering the way tim has been dominating down low, its not like we actually need him right now.
So what do u prefer? Win it all now, or maybe win now and be succesful in the future?

Oden and watch the Spurs hold opponents to 60 points a game next year.
this is hard, i'm a ut fan so the bias choice would be durant, but i think down the road oden is gonna be the better player, durant is a dime a dozen kind of player imo, he may have been great in college, but scorers like him come around every year it seems, oden can be that player the center position has been missing for awhile now........ and we don't need a scoring small forward we need a long defending small forward, i don't think durant will be all that special on the defensive side of the ball....... so if we had the first pick i'd go with what's kept us contending for so many years and that's get the low post threat on both sides of the ball (oden will eventually develop a very good offensive game)
i like durant... plus being that we are a small market a player like durant can skyrocket us right into the lime light. then again i could care less how the spurs are viewed or marketed but i do enjoy championship runs. i think i'd still pick up durant just cause i enjoyed watching him in all those college games he played.
Oden.
Even though I live in Austin, I am not exactly a UT fan. None the less, I would say to go with Durant. I personally think he has more potential down the road than Oden. Durant has shown a level of talent and ability that far exceeds other freshman.
Oden. Durant has the potential to be every bit as good as KG, but then WTF has KG ever won? Numbers and flashy plays don't win , and I'm shocked that some Spurs "fans" still don't get it. You dominate with post players and defenders, not wings. Durant won't dominate anything but a stat sheet.
Calm down, don't take it so personal
Scola
Are you crazy? Scorers with his athletic ability, height, wingspan, shooting ability, and work ethic are not a dime a dozen. Durant will have a good season, but I expect he will hit the rookie wall. His second season he will be a star. Durant also does a lot of the little things on defense, with steals and blocks on help defense. Both are great players, both are rare players, but Oden gets the edge because of his position.
I'm saying trade the #1 to get Rasho back...but that's just me. Okay, okay...maybe a 3 team deal that'll bring Hedo back. I think those guys were solid.
My brain says Oden my heart says Durant.
bad disk in back
wrist injury
I would pass on oden
durant or brewer
why is this even a ing question.
why not answer it
scola better not hope to get more money then a number one draft pick
It's hard to say. Kevin Durant is exactly what the Spurs need. Young, athletic as , quick, agile, long, can shoot lights out, can rebound. However, Oden is going to be the next dominant big man and Tim Duncan is aging...
But, seeing as how this team desperately needs youth at the wing, I'd probably say Durant, only if the injuries to Oden are as bad as they've been meant to be lately.
People say wing players don't win championships, post players do. People say Oden is the best C prospect since Ewing. Remind me again how many championships Ewing won? For that matter how many did Mutombo win, or Mourning as a starter? How many did Robinson win before Duncan? Look at the 90's and tell me just how many teams with great centers made the finals. 8 of the finals in the 90's had no "franchise" center at all, and only 6 of 20 teams did.
Positions don't win championships, players do.
BIG MEN are hard to come by,
give me the oden
I'd take Durant. Matchup nightmare at the SF position in a regular lineup. Can develop into the lockdown defender, but also with a long wingspan, can grab tons of rebounds (grabbed more rebounds per game than Oden last year if I'm not mistaken. Or was that a better shot blocker?)
In a small ball lineup, can easily play the 4 and defend taller players or quicker players. His wingspan makes him a 7 footer essentially.
Oden needs too much work at this point, and the Spurs are about winning championships, in addition to developing long term. Durant fits both those needs in my opinion.
why not answer it
oden.
ing no brainer.
dominant big men dont grow on trees. And Oden would fit in perfectly with the Spurs anyway.
He is one of a defender already and he hasnt even scratched the surface offensively to what he can do.
Yes, Michael did win a lot of rings, but the Bulls also had Scottie Pippen. Everyone seems to forget this fact when discussing how 'invincible' MJ was. If you could get two KD's, go for it, but if the choice is for one player, take the big guy. Oh, and yeah, since then, how many championship teams haven't involved Olajuwan, Shaq and Tim?
IF the Spurs had Oden, they wouldn't need a long 3. You could play any scrub at the 3. No matter who they guarded, nobody would be able to score at the rim anyway.
Oden. You don't pass on a big man with skills. Period.
Some Euro we've never heard of and will not see for 8 yrs.
