    Bollocks. He was never going to be anywhere near as good as Oden was, he didn't cost us anywhere near as much to acquire, he's not expected to carry us to the Promised Land like Greg was, and his injury isn't anywhere near the same.

    Festivus is already better than Greg Oden ever was. He's actually played more than 105 games. :)

    And if his contract didn't make sense to anyone before, it does now.

    This isn't news. This was pretty clear by the fact he wasn't back in early-October as originally indicated. BFD.

    Right before his knee exploded, Oden was clumsy, often out of position, usually pretty damned winded, and he was still rebounding at a historic rate. And his presence on the floor was forcing opponents to make pretty drastic adjustments on both ends of the floor.

    I thought it was pretty obvious he had some sort of setback.

    and if my aunt had a beard, she'd be my uncle. Festivus has already had a better career than Oden did.

    Better career? Certainly. Better player? Not by a long shot.

    better player also takes into account longevity and health. So, playing 105 games over 8 years means he wasn't a better player.

    More TALENTED, yes. Better player? No.

    Play is evaluated based on actually playing basketball. Greg barely played basketball.

    Oden is clearly the guy with more talent. it just never made it to the court, but to say Festus is better is a joke. Sorry. :)

    With that logic, Andre Miller was better than Broy... right?

    Come on now....
