I agree with Slim. We don't have to have the worst record in the NBA to get Oden, but it would help.
But it doesn't matter whether we win it or not. If we can get a top 5 pick, we can land a Brandan Wright, Al Horford, or Thaddeus Young, all potential franchise bigs.
I'm particularly high on Wright after some of his performances for UNC this year. He's only 19 too.
even teams with the 2nd and third pick get their shot at kevin durant and brandan wright. two very good prospects especially durant.
Chances of getting Oden... 0.000000000000000000000001%
The only way we can get Oden
If Slamson goes over and chloroforms Billy King.
King then passes out and Geoff sneaks over and proposes and signs and trade that has Pota headed to Philly for a first round draft pick.
THEN sends the paperwork to Stern with a picture of him and King with sunglasses on and two thumbs up.
And then uses a Neuralyzer MIB style and convinces King that Pota is the next Shaq.
AND THEN somehow protect King from the Philly rioters from completing a coup.
And then hope Philly stinks as bad as we all think they will.
That is honestly the most likely scenario we got.
Sucks looking forward to the draft only 20+ games into the season...
greg oden isn't the only good player in this draft guys.
