Greg Oden out again, should jazz go after before he got signed by someone else?

PORTLAND, OR—Although Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan has repeatedly warned his team about using the basketball around "valuable" and "really fragile" center Greg Oden, several players accidentally knocked the seven-footer to the floor with a carelessly thrown ball Thursday and shattered him into a thousand pieces.

"Oh, man, if Coach sees this we're gonna be in so much trouble," Blazers guard Brandon Roy told reporters while sifting through broken sections of Oden's legs, arms, head, and torso. "We're not gonna be able to play basketball anymore or go out or do anything."

"I can't believe it," Roy added. "The ball barely touched him."

According to team sources, Roy, point guard Andre Miller, and forwards Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge picked up a basketball in the Blazers practice facility and started bouncing it near Oden, an exquisite but easily broken player Portland purchased in 2008 for $6.7 million.

So yeah, let's go after him. </sarcasm>
 
Oh man, Championship! We need this guy!

While we're at it, is there any way we could sign Raul Lopez or Terrell Brandon?
 
I'm pretty sure the OP is joking.

I seem to remember, fairly recently, a thread about trying to trade for Oden. There were a lot of people on board with that idea.

EDIT: I stand corrected!

OP started that thread too.

on the other hand, Oden is a big unknown, sure he is often hurt, but he is shot blocker with huge offensive potential that we should gamble on, jazz can probably sign him to an extenstion at reasonable price (maybe 5 mil/year) for multi-year.

Someone loves Oden. Couldn't be for his durability...
