Greg Oden wants to play this year

After saying he wants to take a year off, Greg Oden is now telling his agent he wants to play.

Ok, so an oft-injured, ambivalent player who has never lived up to anywhere near his #1 draft pick potential shouldn't fire me up but there you have a ringside seat to the depths of my despair.

A legit 7' body with some NBA talent. That's all I want. I won't be giddy with excitement but at least I'll start sleeping again with a depth chart of KG/Oden/Melo. Sleeping like a baby, meaning I'll be waking up every 2 hours and crying, but at least I'll be sleeping.

Matty,

I'm feeling desperate. Not a good place to be.

Is Greg Oden, with his chronic foot problems, any worse than JON or Shaq? Granted, in their prime, either one was head and shoulders better than Oden, but they weren't here then. When they were here they were on their last legs. Literally.
