    I believe these tweets are from Jim Taylor of the Blazers. He's one lucky dude!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bold statement: Oden is the best center in the league right this moment (we just don't currently have NBA games going on to prove it).

    Okay, maybe not. But it's encouraging that he's apparently denying all comers and it's legitimate NBA talent, and not scrubs.

    Question to everyone: If Greg is Dwight Howard-like during this camp, do you feel more at ease with moving Joel in a package for a small forward or point guard? Or, do you like having the luxury of having a legit starting center coming off the bench?

    Soooo stoked to see Oden play next year, must restrain desire to watch every game. Nope can't do it, will have to buy Coincast for the win!

    Joel for Battier, just to make a new suggestion that I haven't reiterated in every thread ad nauseum. You know I'm just trying something new for a change.

    The confidence and pride he must be feeling, finally, has to be pretty cool. I'm happy for the guy.

    Good news to hear. I firmly believe the franchises fate rest more on that guy, than anything else. Free agents make nice additions. Stars win championships. If Greg doesn't pan out, our chances are much lower. So hearing good news, is nice in a summer of bad ju-ju

    A certain Boston writer is going to Rue the Day he badmouthed Greg Oden.
    We are talking about Imminent Ruage!

    Go Greg! Go Blazers!

    I forgot to post this tweet:

    I wonder, if what they see today, allows them, or gives them the confidence, to pursue a different direction this Summer?

    Seriously are you people this ignorant? You think the blazers twitter page is going to say something negative about greg? I mean come on this is like reading a mike barrett.

    Who was the poster that preferred Lopez to Oden? Or, was that a sports' writer?
