Let's hope his team gives up on him and the Cavs can get him cheap. Healthy, he'd be a great addition.

I have zero recollection of an ankle ligament injury in college that cost him playing time. I remember the wrist injury....but not the ankle.

OSU puts on a clinic in front of Oden
Tuesday, December 28, 2010 02:52 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
As his former team's huddle broke following the first timeout of the game, highlights of Greg Oden's brief career as an Ohio State basketball player finished on the giant video boards above the court in Value City Arena.
Coach Thad Matta, though consumed with the here and now, nevertheless applauded, with everyone else, the hard-luck 7-footer seated in a corner of the arena with his crutches at his side.
"When you see him, you think about - I do - the commitment they made to this program, and when they made it," Matta said.
They were the "Thad Five," Matta's celebrated recruiting class of Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Daequan Cook, David Lighty and Othello Hunter. They signed with Ohio State in 2005 despite the program awaiting sanctions for NCAA rules violations, and a year and a half later they helped the Buckeyes reach the NCAA championship game before losing to Florida.

Scout: Greg Oden 'still using the cane right now'
Posted on: January 18, 2011
A Portland Trail Blazers scout provides a rehab update on injured center Greg Oden. Posted by Ben Golliver. greg-oden-knee
Back in November, Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden underwent microfracture knee surgery on his left knee, after undergoing the same procedure on his right knee shortly after being taken as the No. 1 overall selection in the 2007 NBA draft.
On Tuesday, Portland's Director of NBA Scouting Mike Born provided an update on Oden's rehab progress to Blazers.com, stating that Oden still walks with the help of a cane but has recently begun light weight-bearing exercises.
"He's still using the cane right now when he's walking. But he's also, for the last three or four days here, he's been able to get on the treadmill and start to walk. He's not doing a ton of stuff, his rehab has been he's been able to be in the pool, ride on a bike. Most of that stuff has been non-weight bearing. Now he's sort of able to get on a treadmill, we talked about it, he was able to walk his dog the other day."
"It's tough, man. I've been a basketball player and been hurt. When you can't get out and do the things you're used to doing, especially when it comes to walking, I think everybody knows how good it feels, especially people who enjoy working out, sort of how good you feel about going out and getting a good workout in or a good sweat. When it's tough to do that, you can get in a pool and ride a bike and at least do those things, but still there's nothing like being able to get out and walk or run or jump or shoot and do those things. Just to release that stress. I can just tell when I was talking to him, I could tell it felt great to just be able to get out and just walk. Something that people take for granted. Obviously he hasn't been able to do that for a couple of months now."
Blazers president Larry Miller has publicly committed to Oden, however it's believed Oden's rehabilitation process will take upwards of a year. Oden will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Oden still wants to 'dominate'
The former Lawrence North star is recovering from another injury in his fourth NBA season
Greg Oden, 23, is too young to be labeled a bust. That?s why the Trail Blazers are not giving up on him. They are expected to make him the required $8.8 million qualifying offer next year to retain his restricted free agent rights as long as he shows progress in his rehabilitation. ?Guys like him don?t come around too often,? first-year Portland general manager Rich Cho said. ?A guy that size with his presence and his ability to play both ends of the court is a luxury to have.?

unfortunately, it's hard to imagine that a different location is going to help him to become less prone to injury. Maybe he should look to sign with Phoenix somehow. Shaq attributes their training staff to adding years on to his career.
