Also, to shadowlark - this is why people are excited. If he's just half this player and can stay healthy, it's over.

Did you just unironically link to summer league highlights?

It shows his athleticism and footwork as a 7 footer.

But as I said, I doubt he's even half that player anymore after all the surgeries. Hard to say since no one has seen him play in three years.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So can't wait to see if this is Eddy Curry signing bad..

 

[ph33nix]

“The cool thing about playing for the Heat is when you’re LeBron’s teammate and you screw up, nobody gets mad at you for missing a shot or turning the ball over — they get mad at LeBron for passing to you in the first place,” Oden joked.

oh greg

they will get mad

Eddy Curry was fat, out of shape and 30 years old.

Oden has been training this entire past season, was a number one pick in the draft, and is still only 25. He has more potential than Curry ever did.

With Curry, we knew what we were signing up for. Oden is much more of an enigma... Eitherway, we signed him for the minimum - it can only help us.

 

[Byakuya769]

Haha. Fuck the Mavs.

 

[Dominican Power]

Does Oden even have cartilage left in his knees?

We essentially swapped Miller for Ennis and Juwan for Oden. I'd say it's an automatic win. PEACE.

 

[Byakuya769]

Who cares? Oden isn't getting paid shit. Great move if he can contribute and then he'll shop around for a better contract. If he sucks? Ah well, the heat have paid more for less.

 

[Emwitus]

Haha. Fuck the Mavs.

Im sure the mavs are crying a river over losing oden

 

[Westlo]

I don't know what to expect with Oden. He's just a player that I haven't followed past his rookie season. Was he legit or something when he was "healthy" or what? It seems like teams have been connected to him all month.

Was he legit? He was a foul machine but his defensive presence was enormance, fuck we sweep pacers with healthy oden, but the chances if that happening are slim and even if he stays healthy, he's more than likely regressed.

He's eddy curry 2.0 at this stage, if we can unleash him on the pacers in the playoffs and he makes Hibbert his bitch like he was never injured...

Pat da gawd

 

[CreepingFear]

I can't hate on Oden. Dude has had enough bad luck. I'm not going to root for him or the Heat to win the championship though. Dream scenario is that the Bulls beat a healthy Oden and Heat.

 

[darkside31337]

Im sure the mavs are crying a river over losing oden

Well he would have been their 2nd best player so probably yeah?

 

[Byakuya769]

Well he would have been their 2nd best player so probably yeah?

And he's in a long string of high profile players that they could not get.

 

[diehard]

I'm just glad we are discussing the signing of minimum contract players.

Did we talk about John Lucas III? Game Changer.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Tim Reynolds ‏@ByTimReynolds
Greg Oden is 25 years old. Not counting Ennis, he might be the third-youngest Heater next season. Seriously.

We are a deceptively old team. PEACE.

 

[Vire]

You know who else was a minimum contract player last year? Birdman.

How'd that work out?

 

[CreepingFear]

I'm just glad we are discussing the signing of minimum contract players.

Didn't Lebron James curb stomp John Lucas III a couple years ago, American History X style?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cuban went from winning a title to getting rejected by Bynum and Oden. Free Dirk.

 

[Westlo]

Im sure the mavs are crying a river over losing oden

You're right, they are stil crying about winning monta

More compelling conversation than anything concerning Utah save Big Love.

 

[Branduil]

The Mavs didn't offer Bynum a contract even though he was basically begging them to.

 

[CreepingFear]

Cuban went from winning a title to getting rejected by Bynum and Oden. Free Dirk.

How the hell does that happen? Doesn't he have a great reputation for giving the players the best private jets, locker rooms, PS3's, etc?

 

[K.Jack]

And then I saw on ESPN that Oden gets a player option. Loooool.

 

[diehard]

Well you got me there.. Florida is uhh "compelling" to talk about.

 

[darkside31337]

Why wouldn't he?

I'm sure other team was offering more than the minimum anyway.

 

[Vire]

Tim Reynolds: Oden's agent Mike Conley Sr. to AP: "The fact that Coach Spoelstra said all the right things ... that impressed Greg quite a bit."

Chris Tomasson: Agent Mike Conley said deal for Heat to get Greg Oden really helped at Chili's restaurant where Oden really liked talking to Erik Spoelstra

Thanks Chili's.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Lol Chilis...


Who wants to avatar bet how many games Oden plays??

 

[Branduil]

I don't know if it's their intention or not, but I've gotten the impression from all these stupid "decision" dramas that you can never do too many superficial things to impress NBA players that have nothing to do with winning basketball games. Modern-day Solomons they ain't.

 

[santeesioux]

Not going to lie, as a Blazer fan, this stings a little bit.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Good move by the Heat. Oden seems like he cares and he's giant and that makes him a decent pickup no matter how much athleticism he's lost.

Why are the Clippers talking to Jamison? Their big men rotation this year is going to be such a joke.

Al Harrington was released by Orlando and not a single peep

He's surely a sleeper headed into next season

[Pimpwerx]

Oden wanted to go to Cleveland, but they chose Bynumite instead. Gilbert with another assist. PEACE.

 

[ph33nix]

chris palmer ‏@ChrisPalmerNBA 21m
Greg Oden can play. Gonna surprise some people. Still only 25.

Fuck

Only Chris Palmer could kill my joy and hopes

 

[Spooks]

And then I saw on ESPN that Oden gets a player option. Loooool.

Makes dat Bynum contract look even better.

 

[Vire]

Fuck

Only Chris Palmer could kill my joy and hopes

:lol

I laughed way too hard at this.

 

[ph33nix]

Makes dat Bynum contract look even better.

lol Oden is making the bare minimum

 

[PBY]

Fuck

Only Chris Palmer could kill my joy and hopes

LOOOOOL



WE ALREADY WON BITCHES


THREEPEAT


THREEPEAT


Why do i care so much about oden lol

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Oden not going to go NOP means more minutes for Withey which is always good.

 

[Eleuin]

so you admit that you're gonna lose the bet?

You ain't ready for my avatar man

 

[Vire]

lol Oden is making the bare minimum

Cavs fans are just bitter we are about to scoop up Mo Williams too for nothing.

Okay now that is one guy I don't want under any circumstance

He can fuck off forever

No one in the world is bitter about losing out on Mo Williams.

 

[ph33nix]

No one in the world is bitter about losing out on Mo Williams.

In addition to being a mopey person he's a horrible basketball player

He'll probably go the Knicks

Not if D Wade keeps regressing.

That was a joke. Fuck Mo Williams.

He'll probably end up with the Knicks or someone desperate.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Not if D Wade keeps regressing.

well hopefully he won't bump knees with anyone this year.
