    I remember reading a couple reports that a lot of teams where hot after the Blazers #1 pick before Oden got drafted and one of those teams just so happened to be the Spurs dangling Tim Duncan. Just thought I'd bring that up.

    Both of those pieces of information have been on this message board at least several times. Both of you should read the board more carefully.

    I remember hearing that too. I don't know how legit it was but that was one of the rumors going around.

    Who cares? I would wish the best for him except that he turned down other offers to sign with Miami in the hopes of "winning" a championship.

    I wonder how many games Swift was going to win the Sonics those years. 3? 4?

    Oden's in the game. He looked sprightly on that rebound. Maybe worth the MLE?

    Although I know he wouldn't (for reasons we've all discussed to death), I'd be ok with the Blazers throwing him a bone. With a new medical staff, GM, coach and President, the doofs who fucked up handling him are gone.

    If he wants to come back for a vet minimum contract, I'd have no issue with it.

    Oden might win a title this year while Durant won the scoring title. KP was right! (Maybe)
