Pelicans to meet with Oden {EDIT-Oden chooses Miami,P.61}

[DroopyDawg]

I'm not going to lie it would have been great to get him, but I think we are ok with what we have. We have Jason and Greg S. splitting time at C that can protect the rim.

And Withey... a guy that WANTS to play defense.

I'm glad he didn't come here. Can't wait to see Withey, AD, AFA, and even JSMITTY running the floor for easy layups against this guy. Looking okay in a workout is one thing, running the floor a whole another animal.

I had been kind of thinking about this in our quest for Oden. We've been talking about running more and I think Monty even mentioned it. I was wondering how would we have been able to run with Oden? Only run when he's on the bench (which may have been quite frequently)? I didn't see him being able to run as much as we would like to run.

If Oden can remain healthy he's is one of the more mobile true centers in the league.

If Withey plays like Shaq, we win.

Your turn.

The thing is, "true health" and "true athleticism", or original athleticism, probably don't mean the same thing for him any more.

You can return to full health from three microfactures and a broken knee, but the athletic talent has to be diminished from such a beating. He very well could be 100% health-wise, but I don't see how he'll ever come close to his original athleticism, or 100% athleticism.

[PELICANSFAN]

He's signing with the Heat people, we dont need him anyway, waste of money.

Aren't you the one that knew him personally and after speaking with him, said he was getting full MLE from Miami. Trolling?
