If we can get another center in just in case he gets re-injured, and be can be signed at a very low price then sure.

 

[homeytennis]

I'm all in then.

 

[Park Bites]

does he come with an insurance policy?

fixed.

 

[Hekate]

We shouldn't give him any hope.

Do you think they can trasplant someone elses legs onto his body? Heck, at this point even Sam Bowie's legs would be an improvement.

bynum or oden, which would you want?

Probably Oden. Bynum will want a max contract and someone will be dumb enough to give it to him.

bynum or oden, which would you want?

definitely Oden. Bynum is a jerk. Oden just sends out twitter picks of his junk.

edit: not saying I like his junk.

 

[David Stern]

Is the point of signing Oden so that when he breaks again we can play Kanter 48 minutes per game? If so I'm all in.

 

[homeytennis]

That works for me.

I go back and forth on this when I think about it. He has a really hard time staying healthy and got a really bad rep in Portland for partying and not staying in shape. Several of my friends are Blazer fans and they really hate him, not because of his knee injury but because he partied and drank a lot. However, there have been articles out there saying how he has matured and that he's ready to work hard and play. If we can get him for cheap and not fully rely on him to be our 2nd center, then I'm for it. Risk is fairly low given the low price tag he'll get, reward is high as he could turn into a decent bench player....but don't expect him to average high minutes or high stats. Gotta realize how little basketball he's played in the past few years

I think the whole partying thing came from him getting really depressed about his injury as well as some other personal problems he was having at the time.

Kind of understandable.

.....got anymore money you want to throw away? The guy is done, finished, kaput!

 

[carolinajazz]

bynum or oden, which would you want?

.....a coupon for Outbacks Steakhouse....or a bag of chips!

 

[CALJAZZFAN]

I expect his return to be as successful as Brandon Roy's. I credit them for the effort, but they're not physically capable of playing an NBA season, not to mention stringing a few seasons together.

I wouldn't mind having him as our 3rd big. Giving him 15-20 minutes a game just to see what he can do. We have about 26 mil to spend this year, why not throw him a 1 year deal or something.
