    Seriously, I think it's because Curry is healthy and "in shape", while Oden's still recovering from MF #3.

    Curry was healthy and "in shape" last season and was only able to get 83 minutes on a team that desperately needed a guy to play C. It's been 4 years since he played more than 14 games in a season. Or a PER above 4.

    Oden still is 7 years younger.

    If it's about taking a flyer, Oden seems like a more appropriate risk.

    If it's about getting a player who's actually worth playing, then guys like Chris Johnson are cheap enough and better players.

    I agree.

    Freeland and Leonard should get the bulk of those minutes.

    I wonder what they consider interest. Maybe we simply sent a scout to watch him workout. The article mentions many other teams are interested also. So my guess is that he held or is going to hold a private workout and we are one of several teams that attended or plan to attend. I dont think this means we are in serious talks about signing him.

    Yeah, his agent probably contacted every NBA team that doesn't have a decent starting center and told them Eddy is available, cheap and in shape (but, round is a shape!). Since the Blazers don't have an incumbent starting center, they were probably high on his list.

    I think the story is crap. We'll see if we ever see Eddy Curry here.

    Honestly, I don't want this guy anywhere near our kids. And it has nothing to do with his ex-chauffeur trying to extort him for money.
