After missing out on Dwight Howard and having not offered
a contract to Andrew Bynum, the Dallas Mavericks are now somewhat desperate to
fill the hole in their center position. That is why the front office has turned
their heads towards Greg Oden, the number 1 pick of the 2007 draft that has
suffered to litany of setbacks brought on by problematic knees.
If you’re just a casual follower of the sport of
basketball, there’s no doubt that you’ve heard f the oft-injured player. To
many basketball fans in online sports betting sites,
Oden was a dream that never came true. Prior to his NBA career, he was looked
at as the ring bearer of all the legendary big men who played the game.
He had the length, the build and the skills on both
offense and defense that during his limited appearance in his so-far short NBA
career, he always made an impact on the floor. The only thing he didn’t have
was a healthy knee.
After several surgeries and failed comebacks, he opted to
go for an early retirement. Or so everyone else thought. Before this season,
talks have been floating around that Oden is looking for another comeback and
that his health was better now than it was back then. So, what can he do when
he returns?
I doubt he’ll ever be healthy, but the way he plays
doesn’t require him to be at 100% to be effective. If the Mavs could sign him,
they’ll have a quality big man they can rely on, even if only for short
stretches. The only obstacle for the Mavs right now is that there are rival
teams that are also looking to sign Oden. As sports bet Australia has
reported, the Spurs and the Heat also want to sign the big man. That’s the best
and the second-best team of the previous season.
If you were Oden, which team would you choose?
