Greg's a free agent correct? Any chance we could give him what we would've given Camby (or something else we could afford) to land this guy? Could be a big risk, or could be an even bigger reward if he stays healthy.

another opportunity to point out that he's not going to play next year. Do you mean for 2013-2014?

Oden has said publicly that he will sit out next season, and work on recovery and training.

It's believed that Indiana is his preferred team once he feels ready to re-enter the league (Indiana native).

Ya I keep repeating this over and over but his name keeps getting brought up on this forum, I think people are forgetting he's NOT playing this year and he's said it multiple times.

I think a lot of people are ignorant and never knew it in the first place.

Here is my question.  If Boston signs Oden to a veteran minimum contract, would it retain Bird rights on him next summer?  If so, that seems like a good way to potentially land a mega free agent next summer without having any cap space.

Let's give him some Jeff Green treatment so he can drink the green kool aid. I'd love to get Oden too, but he really does need to take enough time to heal up properly once and for all.
