translated and fify

that's probably what it'll come down to...

I'm going to borrow this as my sig.

It's definitely sig worthy

If the Spurs are really trying this hard to pursue Oden then they must be confident that he'll be able to help them down the road.

Damn it man, I don't know what to think anymore. One day he's leaning towards the Spurs & Heat, the next day he's showing interest in the Mavs and Pelicans. What's next? "The Clippers and Nets have joined the Greg Oden sweepstakes?"

There was a rumor yesterday that saying that he was close to a decision. So it's likely that it's down to those two teams especially when you consider reports were saying that SA/MIA were the front-runners a few weeks ago.

Between Oden and this, the Spurs must be pretty desperate for some big oaf to bury at the end of the bench until Dwight Howard comes along.

Like we don't have plenty of big men. WTF? We already have Aaron Baynes.

If the Spurs don't pick up Greg Oden, they should seriously send an invite to Dexter Pittman & Ryan Richards for summer camp. Or Kmart? Any news about that guy?

They know they have a hole @ the 3 spot, but are looking at big men still while only having 1 available spot. I wonder what move they have up their sleeves

The Spurs need a true back-up SF, but they don't need one right away. Leonard will be playing 35+ minutes. And Diaw, Ginobili and Green can get spot duty as a back-up SF. It's more likely that the Spurs utilize their financial flexibility at the trade deadline with tanking teams scrambling to create cap space.

Tomorrow we will read another tweet that Oden is choosing between the Heat and the Spurs.

That makes sense.. I mean I just saw the Ryan Gomes thing and I was just wondering the hypothetical like what if Gomes & Oden (or anyone else they are interested in) wanted to come, then what would happen. But I agree the trade deadline scenario seems very reasonable & likely

Remember when the Spurs were in desperation to get bigs. Times have changed

For now...

I wouldn't mind Greg Oden if Spurs plan on getting back up small forward or small ball four. Seven big men wouldn't make any sense. But like many have said this is a low risk high reward signing but at his very best I could see Oden maybe averaging 10 points and 7 rebounds with one black shot per game. At the same time Oden and Duncan down low can cause Miami and OKC (biggest challengers from Spurs winning it all) to play big with all the Spurs shooters. I believe Spurs are the front runners by a mile imo

I hope you're right.

Lets get this done. Can't wait for training camp.

Ugh, your meme. Seeing TD in purple and gold hurts my eyes.
