Greg Oden is the kind of player that if he himself is not getting injured, he is inuring others. He plays out of control at times, elbows flying, pushing over the back etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes out couple of the Heat players during practice. In any case.... Spoiler
It will be interesting to see him play this season. Let's see how long he will last. Lucky him he didn't joined San Antonio or Dallas because he had to put up with Dwight Howard.
Wow, the Heat's biggest weakness is now their strength. They now have some serious size on their front court.
With all of the upgrades their key conference rivals made, Miami needed a high reward type of move such as this that could end up paying huge dividends. No guarantee, obviously, but we all know this dude is a game-changer when healthy.
I hope he can comeback to somewhat his normal self. Seems like a good person that just couldn't stay healthy, similar to Yao.
