Hope that get blows both of his knee caps again.

Free agent center Greg Oden appears most intrigued by Pelicans & Heat, source told Y! Sports. Decision still expected this week.
Hope that get blows both of his knee caps again.
You would think that Pop, or RC, or TD, or DRob would talk to him, convince him this is the best place to be, instead of just leaving things to chance.
Oden is a scrub either way, this guy has played 82 games since 2007. THAT. I would rather resign Blair than that piece of .
If I was a free agent, I wouldn't be intrigued by the Spurs either. For a FO that half-asses free agency and signs scrubs as rotational players that couldn't be traded if you stuck a friggin gun to some GM's head and demanded a trade, I'd consider going elsewhere too.
Bonner, De Crapo, Mills and Baynes are scrubs. It's yet to be determined if Pendergragh gets added t the list and you're calling Oden a scrub?
Oden should go to the Pelicans. They don't need him, but they could really use him. That's more than can be said for the Spurs and Heat.
yet we win 50-60 games every year and just went to the championship last year.
YEAH REAL SCRUBBY!!!
God damn it... that SOB is just like everyone else. They prefer pu$$y and $$$ over playing for a humble and winning organization such as the Spurs. If that er chooses the cHeat over us, I hope he breaks his ACL's and retires for good. I wish I can take these tweets with a grain of salt but I'm just not that type of person.
They don't hand out second place trophies and 2007 was the last championship. Some of us just have loftier expectations and 50-60 regular season wins loses its luster after constant postseason failures. The Spurs are the only team I know that goes into the offseason and fails to address its weaknesses from seasons past.
how about the patriots in football? they haven't won since 2007. are they failures too?
being in the conversation as a favorite is a good thing. Nobody is a lock. the spurs do it a different way than others, but guess what, it has been successful for 15 years. why are we questioning it now? is it because they made moves you don't agree with? so now they are wrong and idiots?
they do hand out 2nd place trophies. The western conference championship.
you and your mother.
That with oden was obvious. Heat or spurs, come on. Easy pick for the young guy. Most players don't give two s about class organization and mentoring.
We don't need Oden; we are crowded already at pf/C
Tell us how you really feel...
But seriously, he seems like a really good guy with bad luck. What clown would actually hope he has a career ending injury that could even affect his life after basketball all because he didn't pick the Spurs? The Spurs will still be the best in the west either way.
I should have put this another way..... What does 2013's near miss have to do with 2014? Just because the team came close in 2013 doesn't guarantee a return trip in 2014. They haven't made too many favorable moves this offseason. Using part of the MLE on Pendergragh gave the Spurs very little wiggle room to attack the free agent market. The Belinelli signing was a negligible improvement over Neal, unless Ginobili was masking an injury last season, you can expect much more of the same in terms of production and leaving the backup PG role to a 21 year old developing prospect is a risky proposition.
The depth is shot. I have floored expectations for players like Baynes, De Crapo, Mills and Bonner. The Spurs would rather sign cheap garbage replacements and roster spot fillers rather than haggle over the available veteran free agents willing to concede less $$ to play for a contender.
Other teams improve, cir stances change, players get older. This isn't really a hard concept to understand. Miami is the two time defending champion and they're not satisfied with what they got. They're trying to shore up last year's vulnerabilities to give this year's team a chance to three peat.
Being in the conversation is a good thing? I thought flying under the radar was a good thing.
I swear, you have mental capacity of a five year old.
This part of your quote that I made bold and underlined is about the only thing you have ever posted that I somewhat agree with!
The rest however is juvenile drivel and you should be ashamed of yourself for wishing harm. It is sports after all, or didn't you know that?
Possibly, but if he doesn't choose the Spurs then I question his good sense because he is probably going after the money, or the fame, instead of a long productive career. I sincerely hope takes the smart choice.
Really? 3 Conference finals appearances in the years following that le. A Semi finals run as a 7 seed & A fluke out with our leading scorer having to play with a broken arm against a great defense. Thats not post season failure.
We really don't have any weaknesses. Our defense is actually likely to improve on from 4th in the NBA and our Offense was 7th despite our top 4 scores all missing at least 12 games. We were 1 and #2 the years prior. A healthier deeper bigger team should be more capable of handling injuries. Joseph is going to become a more competent backup to Parker. Manu will have another creator off the bench alongside him with Beli. Leonard also may play a lot with the second unit in hopes of giving him more opportunities to score.
Could be but I think I'm just very passionate when it comes to sports. You do realize that IF Greg Oden is healthy and plays for the cHeat then it's pretty much over right? IF Greg Oden is healthy and he plays for the Spurs then he can be a huge upgrade to Baynes and Pendergraph.
Yes, I can agree with you on both points concerning Oden. The big IF is the healthy part.
But NO championships. Do you really think anyone is going to remember or care 10 years from now?
The defense will improve? That's an interesting concept. Belinelli's defense was worse than Neal's and Pendergragh likely won't see much playing time. Other than that, the team is the same and a year older.
How do you know the Spurs will be healthier and how the can you say their deeper? They filled two vacancies from two departures. The rest of the team is exactly the same. They don't even have a backup for Leonard.
CoJo still has a lot of question marks and he doesn't look ready to be a steady backup. If the Spurs thought he was the answer, they wouldn't be looking into Mo Williams.
