Believable. That's what I like about this.
 
If true, I wasn't the only one who didn't want Oden after everyone saw his pre-draft physical.
 
Sources: Greg Oden really is 52 years old

KP didn't require a birth certificate, what a blunder! fire the man already!
 
The franchise who for so many years straight drafted center after center without looking at any other position wanted to draft a PF over Greg Oden, a center? I call bullshit.
 
That should have been obvious after everybody saw Horford DESTROY Oden in the Florida-Ohio State Championship game.

Horford was a man amongst boys in that game.

Oden: 25 points, 10-15 shooting, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks

Horford: 18 points, 6-15 shooting, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks


How exactly did Horford dominate Oden again? Go back and look at the video.

He was being sarcastic. Pretty much everyone who watched the game thought Oden basically dominated Florida's entire front line.

I think his sarcasm blew right past you.
 
Horford is an All Star center on one of the top teams in the league. But I was just joking with the title of this thread. By the way, Horford's team (with the help of Taurean Green- whatever happened to him?) won that championship game. Isn't that what it's all about?

I don't think anyone thought Florida didn't have the better team. The point was that even triple-teaming GO, they couldn't handle him.

They could handle him enough to win the game.

Yes, and Oden completely dominated a Florida front line that triple teamed Oden, including your "All Star center" along with another first round draft pick and a second round draft pick.

Oden was a beast amongst those boys.

Yet somehow you bitch about not having Durant? His team didn't even make it to the championship game, or the Final Four, or the Elite Eight, or the Sweet Sixteen. Isn't that what it's all about?

Consistency fail.

Checkmate.

So, by that logic, you'd prefer to have Taurean Green on the Blazers than Brandon Roy, right? Green did enough to win a championship, Roy didn't come close. Green is clearly the superior player. Aren't winning championships what it's all about?

I really wish you were GM of a team (other than the Blazers). I'd love to see the 0-82 team that you put together and insist about that they're right on the cusp of every championship for the next decade. Sortof a more entertaining version of Isiah Thomas, Don Nelson and Mark Cuban put together. :)

Hey at least Mark Cuban has been to the finals (with a 2-0 lead) and has a pretty damn good team this year...
 
So, was there no link offered?

You don't have to wonder what his team would look like. Just write a software script to put it together:

1) check all players' stats from last night
2) exclude any player that has been consistently good over the last several years, you don't want players like that.
3) pick the player from each position that had the best stats last night, because one game is clearly an accurate predictor of future performance
4) proclaim that each of those players will be future HOFers and All-stars
5) trade for those players with players on your team that had the weakest stats last night
5b) exclude players on your team that have been consistently bad, because they might have hit a game winner 4 years ago like Blake. You want to keep those guys.
6) repeat every day

Done.

Actually, that's a really poor comparison, since Green is a PG, and Brandon is a SG. More appropriate would be to replace Roy with the inimitable Lee Humphrey. Dude's a stud, averaging over 9 ppg in the Bundesliga!!
 
You can either dwell on the past, or learn from it and move forward. Please learn from it and move forward. Nothing to gain from 20/20 hindsight threads.
 
I believe it, they were a pretty big team...they didn't really need a center.
