    But Oakley, 43 years old and three years removed from a stellar 19-year NBA playing career, is never one without a project gurgling in his mind. As he criss-crosses the continent, thoughts run the gamut.</p>

    He thinks about a comeback &ndash; his 6-foot-9 frame looks in better shape than the day he left Toronto in 2002 &ndash; but only under the right circumstances. Toronto would be nice, but so would Dallas, Miami, Cleveland or New York, as long as the price is right.</p>

    "I'm not coming back cheap," he said. "If you read this article and you think you can get me cheap, there's another thought coming."</p>

    LOL</p>

    He'd be the oldest player in league history, or close to it. What does he want the MLE?</p>

    Im sure teams will line up to sign a 43 year old player who hasnt been on the league for near half a decade and wants a large ammount of money....only Issiah could be tempted by this

    Just as ridiculous as when scottie pippen wanted to come back last year. Its just an idea that will never happen.
