    "The Golden State Warriors are trying to snag a center before Thursday's trading deadline, but if that can't happen, the team is ready to go after injury risks such as Greg Oden and Yao Ming this offseason, according to the San Francisco Chronicle."

    Obviously they wouldn't give up very much. If Beidrins didn't have such a ridiculous contract I would take him, I really liked him in '09 when he averaged 11 points and 11 rebounds.

    If it brought back Stephen Curry then by all means.

    Otherwise, no fucking way.

    You did catch that they were looking at going after Oden in the offseason, right? They aren't looking to trade for him; he'll be an RFA.

    A few teams with some capspace want Oden. I know Khan had said he was interested in signing him this summer and i'm more worried about the wolves offering him something like 50/5 which we probably won't match, then whatever the GSW offer him. I'd like to match (almost) anything with Oden because we wont' be under the cap in the foreseeable future and i'm not ready to give up on a 22 year old who has his talent level.

    I really do hope a team makes a long-term contract offer to GO, so we can match it.

    if someone were crazy enough to offer him 50 mil guaranteed under the new more-restrictive CBA i don't see how we could match. i don't think that's going to happen though. whatever the details end up being, the new CBA is certainly going to be structured to discourange teams from gambling huge amounts on unproven players.

    if he gets something like a 5 year offer with the last 2 years as team options, or a smaller offer that reaches 50 million with a lot of incentives, we probably would match.

    Yao would be a good fit there because of the Asian community in the Bay area

    I really hope more teams look for a "discounted rate" on GO so we can match it. I highly doubt any team will give a contract worth more than our QO.

    I'd love for Oden to just except the 1 year deal then we offer him a nice extension next year that is based almost entirely on incentives.

    Portland would be foolish not to do a sign and trade in that case.

    Loosing Oden for nothing would be a disaster.


    The one thing I was wondering is if this report was tossed out there by Oden's agent in order to make it appear as though there is interest in the league.

    KP get's unjustly vilified for taking Oden as the first pick in the draft.
    Imagine the shit the GM who signs him to a 5 year deal would get with what we know about Oden's health now.

    I hope some WC play-off team does offer him a 50/5 type deal. It would wreck their future while giving Cho political cover to get on with rebuilding the team.

    Unless Oden recovers from injuries and makes his new GM look like a genius!

    My fear is he signs our tender and then goes elsewhere after a healthy year.
