Good luck Greg – you’ve had more than your share of bad.

First he needs to show the GMs he can ball at D-League level. If he can, then throw some $$ at him and his brittle bones.He is a walking MASH unit at best.

Oden has to be a least 40 years old now. No wonder his knees can’t hold up!

Man, a lot of Orthopedists roam the comments on this site. Amazing that they all know what’s going to happen with Oden’s knees.

Why don’t you quit your job and work for McDonald’s for minimum wage? They are the best fast food restaurant in the nation. Only work for the best, who cares about money when you can play with the likes of Chris Bosh.

why are you worried about the money, do you have to pay the bill.

Hope he has success. It takes a lot of fortitude to continue that kind of rehab. He probably was offered low dollars and guarantees. If he stays healthy, he is a gr8 pickup.

I don’t think he was the better pick at # 1, obviously.
You don’t think Portland wants that one back
duh!

What’s wrong with Spencer Hawes? He’s not garbage.

Players are probably going to clear the paint whenever he jumps… who wants to be the guy that ends Oden’s comeback?

The Cavs moved to Buffalo? or even where he went to high school in Indiana? Oh…you thought living in Columbus, where he spent 1 year of college, makes Cleveland his hometown team.

does he know God hates his knees?

No legit big man or no C? Tristan Thompson has shown the past couple months he is a very legit big man.

He’s done. Don’t do it. He’ll need micro fracture knee surgery before the ink dries on the contract.

Don’t do it Greg! Come to Philadelphia, we’ll treat you with kindness and respect here, unlike Portland. We have Spencer Hawes at center, we need some strength on the front line, Greg! SPENCER FREAKING HAWES!!! HELP ODEN PLEASE HELP!!!!

Classy organization? You’re kidding, right?

Byron Scott prove that he was overrated right after Jeff Bower started doing better with the New Orleans Hornets in 2010.

My goodness. Byron Scott was better for the Nets than Lawrence Frank was, but Byron Scott was better with Jason Kidd than Stephon Marbury (then again anyone Is better without Marbury).

Although I felt that he kept the Hornets competitive in a really tough Western Conference he did not get the job done in his whole tenure there. He did not have enough advances past the first round and you have to at least do that in order to survive in the Western Conference.

You’re totally right, I think I meant to put 30+ and was just on a roll.

He should goto the heat . Less pressure and better situation . He can give the heat a legit 5 with defense and fill a role . He’s made money already so he should just take league minimum and go learn to play with some champions and try to help them win another ring .

All this means is that you know for sure it won’t work out. If he signs anywhere besides Cleveland there is a “chance” it will work.

daddyghi — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:41:24 +0000

why the hate dude? Oden’s situation is different from Roy and Bynum. While Oden’s knees gets injured through accidents, B-roy’s knees has no cartilage at all. And Bynum’s? lets just say that the only rehab that he knows is just running through a treadmill. Give the guy a chance. atleast he’s working and giving a lot of effort to get back in to the league.

Dont do it greg! there’s a reason why a previous #1 pick left that town. Look for a team that’s good in taking care of their players health. You’ve already earned millions and you’re already set for life. Money is not a problem anymore, its your knees that you should be concerned of. Find people that will take care of it!

i will only comment on one thing, although i could more..centers don’t typically play 40 minutes a night..joakim noah plays a lot of minutes and he stands out, but you won’t find too many centers playing 40.

Classy individual….classy organization….classy coach…. here’s hoping one of the truly good guys makes it back enough to give his Ohio fans some memorable moments! I have been a CAVS fans since the days of Bingo Smith Campy Russell Foots Walker and the great Nate Thurmond. Nothing better than listening to Joe Tate on 3 W E a.m. 1100….. All that and Pete Franklin too! Good luck Greg….here’s hoping!!!

While Greg is a HUGE gamble, it could work,but the second year would be partially guaranteed so they have money for free agency to go after you know who…….

LOL have NBA GMs not learned anything from Minn (Brandon Roy), …and the 6ers (A.bynum).

DO NOT WASTE YOUR $ on G.Oden.

This guy is done. He won’t last 82 games on those knees…its sad but its the truth …let alone 2 seasons. SMH

Does Byron Scott know that he’s on the hot seat???

By: cosanostra71

cosanostra71 — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 22:28:53 +0000

I hope he’s able to stay healthy and play a few more years. He was a talented player and I hate to see careers cut short by injury.
