Tom Haberstrohwrites onESPN Insider regarding Greg Oden... ------------------------ One league exec took the under on a proposed 41 games played this season for Oden. "Every single year of his life since seventh grade, he was either injured or interrupted significantly by an injury," the exec said. "His presence is a total wild card." Why the lingering issues? One rival GM points to Oden's physical growth. "His issue is that he's so heavy," he said. "He's up 60 pounds from his playing weight in college, and our vets say he's the strongest center they've ever faced. The weight is a huge factor for him." ------------------------ These comments come shortly afterChad Buchanan said 60-65 gameswould be a good target for Oden this season. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
