Noah has played in 7 of Chicago’s last 24 games, and only once for over 12 minutes, so it’s hard to cite Noah’s recent play as well.

anyone who cites Odens recent play is foolish. Nothing has been recent, hes never on the floor, thats why this is even a debate. Hes a phenominal talent but the point is who is on the floor. And Noah isnt a slouch. Close to 12 boards a gam,e for a major stretch this year earns much respect.

It would definitely be in the Blazers’ best interest to sign Camby this summer, but he said at one point he wants to play in New York, LA, or Portland. One of these is not like the others.

This is 100% Zach. I only added the extremely light, well-used jab at Oden which, again, wasn’t meant to be the hysterical zinger some thought we/I was aiming for.

I think health is the deciding factor here; there’s no question that all things equal Oden is the better player with more long-term potential for greatness. But can he stay healthy? Zach and I both (along with millions of others) have serious doubts. I think the Blazers can only afford to go one more season with Oden pegged as “their guy” in the middle; if he suffers another semi-major injury next season, or misses huge chunks of time, they’re going to have to reconsider their plans. I really like the idea of signing Camby to a 2-3 year deal because of Oden’s uncertainty.

So, how much of this was Zach’s and how much is yours, Brian?

I’m a Gator fan, but I’d still have to take a healthy Oden over Noah. I love Noah, but like the article says Oden has NBA championship material, Noah has NBA role player material.

Besides anyone who watched Oden’s last eight games, before he went down this season, could see that x-factor of greatness and dominance starting to come out. He was becoming reliable and a focal point on offense and defense. That’s something Joakim most likely won’t be.

Dude the 45 year old comment wasnt bad cuz it was hurtful, it was bad cuz it wasnt funny. It was informative up to that point and that was a weak geeky stab. ANYWAY…Noahs the shit for any team, everyone needs rebounding and energy, but theres only 5 guys in the L who can bring that. I dont blame the Blazers, they had to take Oden but man…

Have you ever heard of sarcasm, CE? Plus, if you’re going to stop reading somebody’s work because they made a joke about Greg Oden’s physical appearance then there is nothing left in the world for you to read.

If anyone deserves shots at his physical appearance, its Noah.
