    Hmmm. Buchanan says Greg is just on schedule. Damn. Is that positive or negative? Depends on how you look at it. Positive in general, but negative compared to the Courtside crew. Well fuck him too just for not saying that Greg will never play again. Hopeless homer.

    Maybe MB & Co. are buttering up the fans to a long-term ($8-10m/per) deal?

    We'll find out in two days.

    We'll find out if they submit a qualifying offer. They can also submit a maximum contract at the same time. Anything less than that has to wait until after the new CBA is signed.

    If only the NBA regular season was played in the off season . . . Oden would be an all star.

    Maybe they saw LeBron James working out and thought it was GO?

    Well played - or a bouncer. Either way.

    Meh. It's not as if the organization has any credibility left to lose.

    I like him too, but i consider him a foreigner now. The pickins are slim to none. I would go with Wheels. But I still like MB. He provides good info, even if it is with a home team slant. But he still gives great insight about other teams. That I like.

    The typical recovery time might be a year. But Oden is apparently WAY ahead schedule so shouldn't he be ready to play now?

    But Greg is probably gone, don't you think? We give him the one year qualifying offer, he takes it, and then he's free to go.

    Unless we have an incredible year, if there is a year, I think he bolts. That's what he meant I think when he said the ball was actually in his court.

    Frankly, Oden actually being ahead of schedule (if it's true) is a huge surprise and I very carefully say "good news", it's always seemed he is very slow to recover.

    If he didn't have surgery until January, being way ahead of schedule could well mean "He'll be able to play in October."

    They also said that Roy has looked great. Antonio Harvey said that he'll be "different, but just as effective."

    They also said that Chad Buchanan had prioritized bringing in really good character guys.

    Blah blah blah.

    If Oden's looking great, why haven't they signed him to a QO?

    The rumor I heard was the management want to wait until the 11th hour because Greg is a very high risk for spontaneous human combustion.

    So, a tad lighter than Felton?
