It's to maintain Oden as a restricted free agent.

As injury prone he has been... when he was on the court, despite his fouling problems, he was one of the most productive players in the NBA. I think he was 20+ PER wasn't he? That's memory though, may have been "only" 18+.

Someone that can do that is worth a gamble on, especially when they're 7 feet tall.

But that is the risk. Do you want to have 20% of your team's salaries sitting on the sideline in civvies season after season? He is a top kid, been very positive despite everything, was quite productive on the court but Portland has to face two horrid possibilities.

1) They keep him and he keeps on being injured and is a drain on the team forever.
2) They let him go for nothing and he pops up somewhere productive and healthy and becomes a top five center in the league. How would the GM face the fans after that?

If the GM can face not drafting Durant after all these years, he can face anything =P

its like a mini version of not drafting jordan and drafted Olajuwan....

but wait, Olajuwan was one of the best center of all time and Oden's best known accomplishment is he shot 60% from the free throw line with his left hand....

I'd rather C.T against you for some enjoyment before the ASW :D.


Mutual CT anyone? :D


I certainly wouldnt want to dissapoint the Fatboy

Will make it hard to back up against Zazz but a wins a win and its not going to happen everytime that I play the Fatboy, that I'm blessed to have a home court advantage and the duffman being out injured

Yeah, no doubt. I think it's different kind of fun here. From yoda's salary chart, you are about half way there. Just spend abit more before everyone else does, you will see yourself more competitive.

7 seasons ago, BLS bought that player for 5M now he's still worth 2M. If you want to be competitive Siderita, you need to make this sort of long term purchase now.
