The Spurs might get Oden!

[Knoxxx]

LMFAO I wouldn't want him to get injured, regardless. I'm just saying, it would be our luck.

I don't want him to get hurt if he goes to Heat, just PUP for the Finals rematch. I definitely want to see the Heat again in the Finals, we got a score to settle with them Sum es!

Man, I hate the summer. We're talking about a guy who will very likely never be even a rotation player in the league. I guess it beats ing about Game 6 though.

More annoying: Oden or the endless Philly coaching search?

You're right, you really are right!
I just don't understand it though.

[kobyz]

how stupid were spurs giving out all that money to Manu and crew, left with no cap space even to get Oden, this off season they didn't obtain even minimal reinforcement, they really played this off season the worst could be, i tell you all along, the traumatic finals messed up everyone in Spurs organization

[Kidd K]

Oden's probably going to Miami and he will blow his knee out there since they will overuse him.

Thanks, now to ask TP for some advice on how to cheat on her later on with a less attractive chick.

Have you seen Eva without makeup on? She isn't that attractive herself. Pretty average imo. Her cash and celeb status are her most attractive features, not her looks.

Mo Williams. Heat will go after him next.

I bet Mo goes to the Heat just like every other vet looking to catch a ride to the Larry O. How pathetic

Who gives a For the vet min. And the 15th roster spot, it's worth the gamble. That's why it's called low risk, high reward.

I understand the low risk, high reward scenario, but it shouldn't be our top priority. Back up SF is what we really need now. Kawhi is a star in the making, but he's still a human. He can still get injured in an 82 game league and more when playoffs come.

Might be better we didn't get him after all, check this out.

Oden says after last surgery doctor told him to quit basketball



Greg Oden is back with the Miami Heat because he is ignoring his doctor’s advice.

After his latest knee surgery, his doctor advised him to give up basketball, Oden said as reported by Ira Winderman at the Sun-Sentinel.

“After that surgery in 2012, my last surgery, the doctor said, ‘Just be a regular person, go live life. Be a regular person. You would be perfectly fine walking out of this place and not have to worry about any rehab or anything,’ ” Oden related during a news conference and conference call at St. Vincent Sports Performance in Indianapolis, where he endured the most grueling portions of his rehab work. “And I did, and then two weeks later, I was stuck onNBA TV. That’s just what I watch every day. I turn on TV and I’m watching NBA TV. I just wanted to play basketball. That’s my love; that’s what I wanted to do.”

Oden has reportedly looked good in workouts, his body is lean and he is moving well again. But that is very different than playing in an NBA game. Part of the reason he chose Miami is the lack of pressure to return quickly — the Heat don’t need him to win a lot of regular season games. They have that LeBron James guy for that, and I hear he is pretty good.

Oden and the Heat are willing to be patient.

“I know it’s going to be a long process,” he said. “Just getting back on the court, when I step on the court, if I play five minutes, and I step off the court and I’m healthy, and I’m able to play the next game, that’s what I’m worried about. For me, that would be the biggest smile on my face, being able to play in games.”

What matters to Miami is how this gamble pays off in April and May, when they will need size to combat Chicago and Indiana in the playoffs. Count me among the many people around the league hoping Oden bounces back and can play this season, gaining some measure of redemption for a career lost when his body betrayed him.

If Oden is playing in those postseason game, he should send that doctor a pair of tickets to come watch him play.
