It's Your Job

Ty, I gotta admit, the last thing I want Greg Oden doing while he is rehabbing is playing a pick-up game at 24 hour fitness. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING HIM MILLIONS NOT TO! Simple.

I see what you mean about "him being a human being" and all, but more importantly than that, whether you believe it or not, he is the hope and future of our little franchise. As we slide all the way below .500 for the 100th year in a row, it has became painfully clear that, with a healthy Roy, we need Oden, or someone like Oden who can play D and score in the low post. It's nice to see Joe P try and save his year by actually rebounding for once this year, but the dude is the most inept STARTING center we've had since Joe Wolf. And at least with Joe Wolf the crowd got to howl likes Wolves whenever he touched the ball. The only thing people do when Joe touches the ball is moan when he drops the pass.

So yeah, I have a huge problem with him playing on his own. The other stuff, Mohawk and politics and what not, I applaud. Even though I don't think superstar athletes like Tiger and MJ should HAVE to voice their opinions about stuff. How often would normal people get on a soap box and voice their opinions, or even have opinions? Not many. That's why George Dub is in office.

You are getting paid millions to REHAB. Don't do anything that we aren't paying you to do. PERIOD. Too many players in too many sports get hurt doing things outside of work. And if he holds the way the club treated him against them when it's time to re-up, he needs to grow up. It's a business. I doubt he will have any negative feelings towards them when it comes to it. Especially after he wins Rookie of the Year and we get the 6th seed next year in the playoffs and everyone is falling prostrate before him everywhere he goes in Portland.
