    Yep.

    Pritchard was right. Durant will win multiple scoring titles, but Oden will win multiple rings (2-year contract with the second year a player option).

    If Greggers gets injured again, he may be waived by the Heat prior to March 1st, and they can then sign Juwan Howard 'just in case'. :)

    Wait, the Heat made the 2nd year Oden's option? Wow. What a strange contract for a guy that hasn't played in 4 years.

    Ouch, that hurts! I finally donated my Oden jerseys to Goodwill about two months ago. I had bought a red one as soon as they were available and then bought a black one after he had the first MF surgery - and wore it to opening night 2007 to show my support for our fallen savior.

    Is the jersey number to reflect the number of injuries he's had in his career, or is it for the number of games he hopes to play in this season?

    Greg Oden will fly to Miami at 6:00 AM on Monday to begin on-court work with the Miami Heat.

    “(Oden is) in full basketball mode,” said his physical therapist Ralph Reiff. “There’s no more rehab. He will be a basketball player on Monday.”

    Oden hasn't played since 2009.

    “My knee’s good,” said Oden. “I’m able to walk, jump, run. ... It’s been a while. It’s been a long road. ... I got an old body. My body is not going to be what it was when I was 18. When I was 18, I was able to run all day and jump over people. I can’t do that now. It’s just not going to happen. But I’m going to play as hard as I can and I’m going to try to jump over people and I’m going to try to run all day. If my body lets me, I’ll do it.”

    He says he has an old body which is true. Miami will treat and train him much like the way we treated and trained Sabonis.

    Sabas had more basketball skill in his right thumb than Oden has at this point. Greggers will go out on the court, rebound a bit, foul a bit, and be an "enforcer" until his next injury, which my guess will come around the 20-game mark, depending on his minutes.

    A hired goon, basically, to slap around Noah a bit in the playoffs.

    No shit. I didn't say Oden was Sabonis I said they'll have a set of protocols in how they treat and train Oden much like we did with Sabonis. The Blazers were very careful with Sabas, limiting minutes in practice and games, no back to backs, etc. The Heat will treat Oden much the same.

    They're even going to get him a lush wife to make his drinking problem seem minimal.
