    Yes I remember reading about that back when the setback news first broke. However my understanding now is Oden will be an UFA.

    The wording was confusing since the contracts talked about retaining his RFA status if the offer sheet wasn't able to be agreed to from Oden not passing a physical. But once we agreed on a new 1 year contract, which we have for a lesser amount, then the RFA status ends and Oden will become an UFA. I think Quick or someone tweeted the same confirmation and so I sort of buried it away in the back of my mind.

    I would like to know if theres any official confirmation just to be certain though.

    Watching Charlotte dismantle the Heatles right now. They have some good young talent on that roster. Walker, Henderson and Biyombo has been giving Bosh fits defensively.

    Biyombo is going to be something else. Like a young Dikembe with more fluidity.

    Hoping for a rough and tough Denver v. Utah game.

    Talk about rebuilding . . . let's see how fast (or slow) it takes Utah to consitently make the playoffs again. Less than 6 years?

    This is actually a great idea. Not that I am shocked you had one, just trying to express through type how great an idea it is. What other teams are out there that went through this? OKC? Memphis?

    So much for the halftime lead. One point game now going into 4th.

    I like Miami's chances. :)

    Almost certainly. Kevin O'Connor is a great talent evaluator and team builder.

    Yeah Seattle did it. They succesfully built a title contending roster but the city lost the team.

    Biyombo and Walker looked very good in limited minutes ... Guess Cho might not be the bum some think?

    Biyombo has literally zero offense. He's going to be a one dimensional defensive role player.

    Watching the Nuggets/Jazz game right now, Lawson is FAST, like ridiculously so. We're going to have trouble tomorrow.

    Never thought cho was a bum, but he didn't do much for Portland. Either it be Allen not giving him the power, or cho just wanting to have a full season to evaluate, he was meh in PDX

    Isn't that all Biyombo was drafted to do though? And yes, Lawson is an unholy terror in the open court ... that whole team is really.

    Yes....but he was drafted too high imo. Bobcats need to be looking for stars, not role players. Kemba looks great though.
