call me optimistic, but that makes me think he is picking us. If he knows he is gonna announce tomorrow, why not announce today? Unless, its us, and we did not want him to overshadow the jersey unveiling.

Couldn't just say tomorrow?

I think we can win this race. We offer more money, new facilities, familiarity with Monty, young core to grow with. He is 25, not a 38 year old man (even though looks differ), so I don't think he is dying to win a title, he just wants to make a name for himself in the league other than "bust".

Greg Oden to decide on team tomorrow, reports Yahoo! A source tells me he's torn between Miami and New Orleans.
— Brett Poirier NBA (@BrettNBA) August 1, 2013
Oden has been considering the Heat, Pelicans, Spurs, Hawks, Mavs, and Kings. Miami and New Orleans are frontrunners, Spurs are third.

So if he's picking a team tomorrow I'm guessing offers have been made to him? Or will the offers be made to him tomorrow? Surely he can't be picking a team unless an offer has been made to him right?
-
08-01-2013, 11:08 AMJJackisangryIt seems strange he would choose the day they made offers- I'd assume they have been made already, but you never know.Quote:

Everyone references his relationship with Monty, but in that article that wuggie posted about a one-on-one with Greg Oden, didn't he express his displeasure with the Blazers as a whole?
-
08-01-2013, 11:27 AMTheKeymasterThat's what I've always wondered. Greg seemed very displeased with Portland so I figured that Monty being our HC could possibly be a negative, but who knows.Quote:

However, I wouldn't could Monty in that group because he is notorious for not playing guys when they are seriously injured. He was a player, and he tried to play through an injury that he shouldn't have, and it really messed with his career (and the rest of his life). Monty would never do that to another player. So, if you have an ankle sprain, suck it up, but if you have a serious injury, he's cool with you taking your sweet time to rehab correctly - see Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis, and Jason Smith.Quote:

08-01-2013, 11:31 AMBallSoHardMaybe Oden is the reason why Monty takes his time w injured players ^^Quote:

Being the pessimist that i am, I just can't see him choosing the Pelicans. I really would love Oden to join the team though. But if I close my eyes really hard and concentrate... yeah i see him in a Heat jersey. Sitting on the bench. Sitting next to Juwan Howard. I'm sorry... "Two Time NBA Champion Juwan Howard" I really hope I'm wrong though.:(
-
08-01-2013, 11:59 AMFlyGirlYou're probably right. We have no idea when the actual offers were extended to him.Quote:

He's probably waiting to see the jerseys. If they are too plain he will pick the heat.

Being the optimist that i am, I just can't see him not choosing the Pelicans. I would like Oden to join the team given his potential. But if I close my eyes really hard and concentrate... yeah i see him in a Pelicans jersey. Out on the court. Banging with Dwight Howard. I really hope I'm right too.
:D -
08-01-2013, 12:18 PMJunkHeadI do like the way you think. Here's hoping you're the correct one.:)Quote:

In 2 years the Heat will be totally irrelevant. We're gearing up for a long run. Jump on the train now while you can Oden.

08-01-2013, 01:41 PMJesterI don't expect him to do much jumping until he is contractually obligated to do so. Even then it will be tenuous.Quote:

If Oden actually does decide to come to New Orleans. I think he'd instantly be apart of the NOLA 4 Horsemen. Almost new thread starter idea, who would you put in the NOLA 4 Horsemen? I'd make Holiday be the Flair or tully Blanchard or switch him with Davis. Also put in Jason Smith due to how long he's been with the group. And either Oden or Ryno as the 4th guy.

We should have waited a couple more days before the jersey release. Today couldn't have helped Oden's decision to come to the Pelicans.

So, the mediocre uniforms will keep us from signing one of the most injury prone players in the history of the NBA? I think we'll survive.

08-01-2013, 03:50 PMRaisingTheBarIf that really is the deciding factor in his decision need he needs to quit basketball and get back to his coloring book.Quote:

Well I remember some stupid people saying we won't be able to attract any big FAs cause they wouldn't want to play for a team called the Pelicans.
-
08-01-2013, 04:29 PMBallSoHardWe don't attract big FAs. Tyreke isn't what you'd call a star.Quote:

Relax peeps. It was a bit of sarcasm in my disapproval of the jersey release today. Big Dubs were the way to go. This was amateur hour. They look like a practice jersey.
Of course this won't play into Oden's decision..............I hope. -
08-01-2013, 04:41 PMyankeesman77
I'm sure nobody really liked the Hornets original colors and design when it first came out but it became a cult icon and is still talked about in today's circle as making a comeback because Michael Jordan wants to ruin the legacy of a once proud franchise. All this displeasure for the jersey will be nothing more than a memory as time will wash this all away and more and more people will be comfortable with it when the season actually gets started. It's a nice set of jerseys. I actually can't wait to get the Blue ones but all of this displeasure over the piece of clothing someone wears is really rather silly.
-
08-01-2013, 04:46 PMDirtySoufNo offense but not everyone was a fan of Big Dubs' designs...Quote:

Hey remeber that time you talked about Greg Oden and not the jerseys

That was awesome -

For a second there I thought this was the jersey thread lol.

08-01-2013, 05:32 PMtakezorThose share a important part overall, in my opinion. With all said before, I don't completely dislike the unis, though.Quote:
