Don't look now Oden better then Durant!

Thankfully we have a coach that knows how to take advantage of that.......Oh wait!!!!

Actually, more minutes could lower his PER. Nate is in fact capturing lightning in a bottle with Oden so far, getting the most out of him in less minutes.

I know, it's killing me. If Nate would let him play more he would cement himself as a serious All-Star candidate

more minutes doesn't equal more production necessarily

Yes, but in most cases it does. Given how Oden has performed, I don't think it's a stretch to think he'd produce more. Maybe less per minute production, but still, more production overall.

And Zach Randolph is way better than Brandon Roy. We never should've traded him. He's our solution at backup PF.

We wouldn't have Rudy if we still had Zach.

Or more minutes could boost his per. There's only one way to find out!

Maybe not more production for Oden, but this team plays better with Oden on the floor, so it could mean more production for the team as a whole.

But if you're LeBron, I think thats the most talented team he could join.... other than maybe Miami.

Not to derail this topic too much, but I personally think Lebron would be best served to go play for the Nets especially with their seeming imminent move to the Bronx. He'd be surrounded by a helluva point guard in Harris, an emerging dominant low post threat in Lopez and the opportunity to live and play in the biggest media market in the world -- probably doesn't hurt that his buddy Jay-Z is part owner.

chicago will have cap room, and i think detroit will as well

I thought about posting a much longer version of this, but I ate to much turkey and pie. Happy Thanksgiving.

I agree with this and I have thought this is what will happen for a while now. I actually hope it does.

So I guess Nate is mishandling Roy and Aldridge because they play 30+ minutes a night?


Seriously, what Eric said was ridiculous.
