The Bonner jump hook is great, tbh. I'm surprised he developed that shot. Tiago's flippy hook shots, or whatever you want to call them, are God awful. He has awesome footwork and a couple of nice pumpfakes around the basket, but he just gets blocked so much. I like Tiago, though.
He'll be working with The Iceman this summer.
I have a hard time believing Oden would go to San Antonio over Miami, but I would have to think if you're Oden you would jump at the opportunity to play and learn from someone like Duncan. 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 le.
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.....
Career WS/48
Splitter = .188 2nd best in 2007 draft year.
Oden = .180 3rd best in 2007 draft year.
Oden would be Blair's replacement.
That's an upgrade.
[Kirilenko would be Jackson's/McGrady's replacement.
That's an upgrade.]
The idiots claiming Baynes is better than Splitter are bad enough, but can we at least wait to see if Oden can make it through a pre-game warmup without hurting himself before starting this "debate" up?

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.
The Blazers asses would be so chapped if this guy ends up being a good player on our team
Revenge for Batum es. 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.
After Leonard's performance this year, I'm fine with how that whole Batum situation worked out.The Blazers asses would be so chapped if this guy ends up being a good player on our team
Revenge for Batum es. Although that did all lead to us getting Kawhi.
yeah. I'm really glad that ended up working out so well for us because Leonard is tons better.
That left handed breakaway dunk as Batum(who is pretty damn long himself) reaches helplessly towards the ball as Leonard just easily keeps it away from him sums it up pretty well.
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.
Antonio McDyess was one of the great leapers in basketball, and completely re-invented his game after his one lingering injury, and it's almost unheard of for a player to do that. I'm not sure there's any way Oden could do anything similar if his knees don't hold up.
