    Sounds like his passion is renewed, great to hear. I honestly think the rumors of him being sick of Portland are just that. Dude just want's to suit up and be a part of the action.

    DUH!!! Portland has made Oden a millionaire for doing nothing but sitting on the bench. It's about time we started getting our money back.

    No Portland made Oden a millionaire for being 7 feet tall and being able to cover the paint like nobody's business. And were gonna continue to pay him, because the reward for this long term investment is too great to sell short.

    Keep beating that drum.

    Maybe someday, someone will think it's clever.

    A very positive article. Man, I hope Oden can give us at least one Walton-esque season. It would be worth any amount of money.

    Hang in there, Greg!

    I'd love to see a starting front line of Oden, Aldridge, Wallace, that be awesome with a healthy Oden. Guess time willl tell

    Doesn't matter it it's clever--it's true.

    I'm at the point now with Greg where I'd be happy to see him be successful where ever he is. If we traded him or he decided to play somewhere else, I'd be great to see him stay healthy and do well.

    Wow, you must be a masochist. It would be like a repeated punch in the gut watching Greg become an elite player on another team. If he does well, I NEED it to be in Portland.

    Remember how hard everyone took Jermaine O'Neal being an all-star? It would be like that x10

    I'll wish Oden well anywhere he goes, just because he seems like a nice enough person. Anyone who doesn't strike me as malicious or a jerk, I default to hoping they do well. But it would really feel bad, as a fan, to see him flourish on another team.

    Ya, Sheed is the only player I can remember I didn't want to do well after being traded, but I think it would be a huge mistake trading Oden.
