If you were the Portland F.O., do you extend a Q.O. to Oden?
It has to be done by June 30th. Likewise, if you were another team, would you extend him a multi-year deal?


Loosely related, does Kwame Brown get a raise this year? (Made $1.3 mil last year, unrestricted this year).

Fill in comments on Erick Dampier or Eddy Curry.

I'd give him one more year, the talent is there, you just hope the black cloud isn't.

and they took Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.

I don't know what would be worse. Taking Sam Bowie over Jordan or if Houston had accepted the #2+Drexler for Ralph Sampson trade from Portland.

Houston could have trotted out:

Some Stiff
Drexler
Jordan
John Lucas

I think that would have been twice as painful as the Sam Bowie and Kevin Durant picks.

8.8 would be overpaying bigtime.

there's an over 8.8" joke here somewhere

He got the Q.O.
