I guess everyone will blame me since I was the one who said HE WOULD NEVER
MAKE AN IMPACT HIS FIRST YEAR.

I said all along the #1 pick should be Durant.

Anyway, yes, Bob, you are correct. Why you take the deal and the $$$ when
you can. His NBA career is already severely dinged.

What gets me is every NBA owner KNEW his physical condition and problems
before the draft. But the media sure kept that under cover. But now that
he's out for his rookie year, guess what, the media now spills the beans
about what the NBA knew about Oden physically before the draft.

Oh well. Honestly, I don't think we'll see Oden on the court much ever
again. He's not ever going to be the player many thought he would be.
