    So im watching homecoming on ESPN and this guy would be the perfect coach for oden! What is wrong with KP? why doesn't he get oden the coaches that he needs? I know nate doesn't help. And sorry but maurice lucas is not gonna teach oden how to be a dominate center! Bynum gets Kareem and phil jackson and Oden gets nothing. Big time advantage for Bynum there. KP wake up!

    Mourning is living the good life in Miami. Why in the world would he want to move to Portland to be an assistant coach?

    The team wanted to offer Alonzo a 5 year deal - but he wanted the last year to be a coach option.

    Oh, and also - Imaginary Cap Space!

    Oden's been working out with the "Rasta Monsta" Brian Grant this summer and there's talk that if Lucas doesn't come back to be an assistant they'll extend the offer to BG ... Zo is great, but I'm not worried in the slightest if Grant can work with him.

    Playing in the post is playing in the post. you don't need a HOFer to teach big men to play ... Hell, Pete Newell (RIP) certainly wasn't some physical colossus.

    No matter who coaches Oden, it's ultimately going to be up to Greg.

    I like how you don't read TrollisTroll. He said TEACHER. There is a great art to teaching. If you've ever taken college courses, you come across plenty of professors that are brilliant in their field. But they don't always know how to teach clearly/succinctly.

    Zo is a POS. Keep him away from your kids.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Our actual children, or our "Blazer kids" (Oden, Batum, Bayless and Fernandez)?

    Please advise.

    Make the term kids as broad as you want, the advice still applies.

    I think he works well with balding, mentally challenged kids. They seem to get quite attached to him, at least.

    Why the Zo hate?

    I liked him until he left the Hornets. It was a dick move to refuse to play for the Nets when he was traded. I'm sure I could come up with other douchebag things he's done but I was curious as to why you don't like him.

    Yeah, I'm 14. It really ruined the day I was born when he left Charlotte. I enjoyed watching him play for the Hornets from my mom's uterus.

    Seriously, aside from stiffing the Nets and possibly ruining his kidneys with steroids, I wanted to know what Zo did to make Speeds call him a POS

    I've said this for four months!

    The day after his retirement became official - I was calling for Alonzo to be hired specifically to coach Oden!

    The guy's tenacity was second-to-few. Too bad he had health problems.

    But I'll bet this guy could coach Oden a few things! #1 = "Hustle"

    That was actually pretty funny. I was talking to the OP, though.
