Greg Oden Being Waived

The Blazers will waive 2007 No. 1 pick Greg Oden to make room for trade acquisitions, sources say, confirming reports.

Anyone willing to take a chance on him I could care less but its always nice to have some decent big men on the team.

I would say of course we take a chance on him. His contract was voided when he was waived I think... So you can get him for the vet min. Its no risk. If we can get on the Waiver wire. I say yes.

Wasn't Cho part of the Portland FO that drafted Oden?

Oden might be one of the saddest stories in NBA history. Unlike other tragedies, he wasn't doing anything wrong or stupid and not got to really show his talent.

That being said, I guess we take a flyer on him, but only if he can actually run.

He'd be more effective than Diop!

Hilarious that the Blazers made the same mistake twice. They passed on Jordan to take Sam Bowie.

Doesn't the team with the worst record get first shot on the waiver wire. Hell yes for the vet min. Nothing to lose there other than a couple hundred K if that.

Pretty sure Pritchard was in charge then but I wouldn't swear to it.

I wouldn't mind getting Oden for vet minimum.
Can he actually play this season though?
If he can, got nothing to lose really.

Not sure I would not mind a Vet Min contract which covers him for next season. Not much money, and if he can play next season, would be a big help. And if he plays well, he might be appreciative for us taking him and give us a good shot at resigning.
