to dump Greg Oden, or not to dump Greg Oden...

I'm hanging on to him. It is just a foot. Down the road he shoud be giving 55% field goals and 14 boards and some blocks. Just ride out the foot injury.

????? He sprained his foot. Why would you dump him? The xrays were "inconclusive" whatever that means. All the reports I've read are that they will do an MRI later today.

It's about the future, not just now...it's not an auspicious start to his career again :S

and Anderson Vaerejo pulled down 9 and 9 last night. I haven't dumped Oden yet on the teams I have him, but the next week is going to be crucial...

Well I guess a lot of it depends on how deep your league is. If I were to dump Oden in my league I'd have to pick up somebody like Miki Moore instead. I'd rather hang on to Oden and see how it shakes out.

Lets just hope that Oden isn't Sam Bowie II

who are the other centers on your team?
for the team I just dumped him from: Okur, David Lee and Al Jefferson. I dropped him for Chalmers...maybe he'll blow up when he comes back, but with Chalmers as a free agent in that league and me having those three centers, I'll take the chance. I am keeping him on another team though...see how that works out.

I don't know about the Chalmers pickup. They're not going to be playing a D'Antoni team every week. Even missing a couple of weeks I think Oden is better value on a fantasy team at this point. Centers are always at a premium and you could trade him later in the season when he goes on a tear and his value peaks.

i like the chalmers pick up actually. who else is going to play PG on that team? marcus banks? he'll get his minutes, and with marion, wade, and beasley, he'll get a chance to put up numbers without that much pressure.

also because i just dumped rafer alston to pick him up. :p

as for dropping oden, i think that's fine given your center platoon. if no one bites, you can always pick him back up towards the middle of next week.
