    I don't want to see him win a ring, because that means LeBron wins another one. However, I agree about the medical staff. Someone one day from the Blazers needs to explain to me after someone has MF, you help them BULK UP. They should have tried to keep him down around 250-255.

    Not being an alcoholic also helps you stay trim while injured.

    Conspiracy theory: did the Blazers fire Medina as part of a secret lure to tempt Oden to Portland?

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA - The last time Greg Oden played in a game? James Harden and Blake Griffin were rookies, and John Wall and Paul George weren't in the league.


    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA -
    The last time Greg Oden played in a game, LeBron James was a Cleveland Cavalier, Michael Jordan wasn't a owner and Allen Iverson was in NBA.


    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA -
    The last time Greg Oden played in an NBA game, Gilbert Arenas was starring for the Washington Wizards and gun incident hadn't happened yet.

    Batum might be able to play all 5 positions with PG and C being for a short time.

    Oden picked the city that is geographically the farthest away from Portland

    Clearly - seeing as how he missed the entire first season by injuring himself before camp even started. Our medical staff must be at fault!

    Oden STILL not ready?

    Oden hasn't played in over 3 years, and he's still not sure if he'll be ready on opening night? Are you kidding me? This guy has to be the biggest head case/physical wreck in the history of the NBA.

    Good luck, Miami.

    Re: Oden STILL not ready?

    I remember when we drafted him that we were joking making Walton/Bowie comparisons. Who would have thought all these years later that he would have been more injured that both of them?

    God, what a heartbreak for Blazer fans.

    Re: Oden STILL not ready?

    You know that he had microfracture surgery 17 months ago, right? It's not a "3yr" timeline. It's a "not even 18 months from microfracture" timeline.

    For MIA it's a steal. Paying less than we paid for Elliott Williams last year to get whatever oden can do. If he plays 15 mpg in the playoffs they will destroy people.

    Clearly you're like most, uninformed.

    Greg's first micro fracture surgery was a choice, not by Greg, that was made by the team during surgery while scoping his knee for the first time. He wasn't "injured," he could have played fine his first year without undergoing MF, and has an 18-19 year old he should have.

    Greg went to a great place for nightlife where there are plenty of other African Americans that he can relate to. Big surprise. Maybe he will give basketball a chance this time around.

    Same here.

    Then again, the amount of butthurt in this thread isn't all that shocking. People were awfully emotionally invested in the guy succeeding here a mere 2 years ago and (if I remember correctly) there was a ton of denial and wish-casting right up until the moment he was waived.

    Which reminds me, for all of you people hating on the guy and praying that his knees explode again, the Blazers waived him; he didn't force his way out.

    What will crowd reaction be as Oden enters a game at the Rose Garden in a Miami uniform?
