I'm not crazy about this quote from Oden:

Quote:

"I would say I'm in the 80s percent-wise healthy," he said. "I won't be back to 100 percent - not this year, not next year. It's going to take some time and I'm ready to play."

If he's not going to be 100% ready even two seasons from now, what the heck is going on?

Well pretty much every player that has comeback from MF surgery has said the same thing. He has talked to a lot of those guys, and he even talked about Amare's advice the other day. Most NBA players after any major surgery take a year to get back to full strength.

and when it comes to Miles what about this...

Quote:

"I'm not in [basketball] shape, but healthwise and bodywise, I'm 100 percent. I've got the explosion; I can move."

Not in basketball shape? could that be why teams are holding off on signing him? Wonder how long it would take to get back in basketball shape?

as for Oden I think he is nervous and doesn't want to get the fans hopes up if he's not 100% right off the bat or even the whole season.
