    If Paul Allen is willing to do it, then get it done. This tells me that they're willing to go even higher for Greg, anyhow.

    Repped for the Canzano leak...

    It's a risk worth taking.

    I'll add that the article confirmed what I've been posting for a long time: that Oden actually holds the cards on whether or not to accept the Q.O., which will make him a lot of money regardless of what his decision ends up to be.

    If it were any other writer I wouldn't care, but he needs to source that shit.

    If he didn't just drop his pants and reach around back to get that figure, I think it's a risk worth taking.

    I think that might be a steal, but big enough for Greg and Big Conley to sign it. :fingerscrossed:

    It doesn't really matter if it's even true. Oden holds the cards on the Q.O., not the Blazers. Somebody is going to pay him, and a ~$9 million season next year before hitting the open market seems like a nice consolation prize.

    Well, if there's a hard cap, then most likely it doesn't happen. I don't think there's any chance there's a hard cap.

    Something tells me that Oden wants to start out on a clean slate. Different team. Put the past behind him. I dunno, just a hunch. I hope he comes back.

    I love how fans speak for Greg, and what he wants.

    Anyways, if it's a true offer, I don't care one way or the other. I just hope there are clauses galore in it (both for Gregs benefit, and the teams benefit. I.E., if you play 70% of your games in year one, 2 million bonus. in year 2? 3 million bonus, etc).

    I'd rather 'waste' 40 million on Greg, then have a rotating 5 spot (ironically because of Greg).

    You might be right. I kinda feel like he feels he owes us.

    I hope the Blazers do this and that they do it NOW! Don't risk a new CBA impairing their ability to sign him later!

    The only thing worse than Oden being an injury plagued player for the Blazers is Oden being a star for someone else.

    Ugh.

    I don't live in PDX, and I don't read the O. But from what I've read around here, I've just got to ask.

    Has JC ever been right about anything like this?

    Go Blazers

    He was right about wallace, and he does have a connection with a lot of agents

    He doesn't owe me anything. I really wish he'd play for Portland, for a long and prosperous career, but outside of that I hope he does whats best for himself health wise.

    And hopefully, that involves him kicking the shit out of the rest of the league while playing for the Blazers. ;)

    If I owned the Blazers and had Paul Allen's money, I'd do that deal in a heartbeat. It's worth the risk.

    I see people crying about getting rid of Roy's contract, and then I see some of the same people advocating an Oden contract that starts at 4/$40 million, before negotiations even begin.
