    "I'm not coming back cheap," he said. "If you read this article and you think you can get me cheap, there's another thought coming."

    This guy must be crazy i do not care how good of shape he is in.

    Yall make fun... Ill take a PF who actually plays big. Someone who doesn't flop. Someone who will teach you a lesson when you come into the paint. He probably can't contribute anymore but thats the kind of attitude the league needs back.

    Give him a one-year contract and let him room with Chuck Hayes. I'd love for Chuck to get his mean streak. Besides, if we had Mutombo and Oakley guarding the lane, it would strike fear in every player under 35.

    Van Gundy would've taken him back in a heart beat.

    He just wants attention for his new book coming out. We saw how old he is several years ago, so I don't see how a comeback is realistic.

    That piece of crap is going to be either playing in Europe or D-League. He's old and he's washed up.

    Unless his fortunes have changed- he is a smart businessman I have read- owns several carwashes and real property in Cleveland or Toledo? area where
    he is a popular personality. He was a bodyguard to Michael Jordan when visiting Houston All star game

    I saw him hanging out by the poolside bar at the Miami Ritz Carlton in May. So, I guess he's not broke.

    But damn it, guys, he was washed up 3, 4 years ago when he was with the Rockets the first time. He ain't gotten any younger or any less washed up since then.

    Everybody talks comeback...Pippen sure did, Doug Christie sure did... but will a couple years off really do that much for your body? I doubt it.

    Oakley did the most with what he had for a long time. He was a feared player in the paint. I respect what he accomplished-pure effort and attitude
