I'll be happy if he sees the court for half the season. He has a long way to go to be a player in our rotation if he signs here. First and foremost, the dude needs to be dead serious about fully committing himself to really getting his career back on track. That means no South Beach, no party, no bad food and tons of hours in the gym and at doctor's offices. That's how far away I think he is.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this I doubt the Heat going all the way depends on Oden. I would love to be wrong.
I don't think you guys get the point of getting oden. It's not like he is the key factor or we're expecting him to drop 20 10 or something, it's that he helps our rebounding issue especially against bigs like hibbert that look like LA-shaq when they play us.
And when you have players like battier guarding players like west because of personnel, it's no wonder we get abused.
Oden if healthy can help us through those kind of games.. If he isn't healthy, then oh well..
Either way, we shouldn't have huge expectations if he does sign wit us. Take it one day at a time.
Being healthy would be a start
