Latest news on the Greg Oden front?

[Scoooter]

What's up with this guy, Portlandites? Getting better? Running? Dunking? Getting fitted for the mascot's costume?

not cleared for basketball activities until the end of the summer...

I think he'll start doing on court stuff in about a month or two. First time around I saw video of Oden dunking in pre game warmups in March of 08. Add 2 months to that because his surgery was in November instead of September.

So probably in a month or 2 he'll be able to do light stuff like that. I think either way, Portland is going to make him wait until November/December to get back on the court. They want it to be a full 12 months.

I heard on some Blazer talk shows that he is at the practice facility lifting weights and doing the typical rehab stuff.

I don't even think he is allowed to run yet.

Anyone know what his weight looks like?

Last surgery he added about 25 lbs of pure beef to his frame and that totally jacked him up, all that added weight was terrible for his repaired knee.

[Scoooter]

Yeah, he doesn't need to bulk up at all. He should be swimming. Lean and strong. It's a great workout.

Like it, but I'd rather move Billups than Fields.

Nah man!

Once Oden is in New York they give him a health potion which lasts for exactly one year. He plays up to his potential til the AS Break, putting up 22/14 with amazing defense. There the Knicks trade him, Billups and Balkman for CP3.

Bam.

I would love him on the Knicks. Top 5 center when healthy, which is never. But his size and skill alone would help NY as long he can get on the court. Neither Amar'e nor Melo have played with a center of Oden's size and skill.
