My thoughts are, he hasn't played in a very long time and I think he will find it hard to compete again, he's lucky he's a big man considering how soft the centre position is these years.
The Heat will nurse him cautiously and carefully back, and limit his use. He (if healthy) is the missing piece they need against teams like the Pacers who have a big bodied Center. It'll be no different to the approach they employed with Mike Miller...nurse him through the season and unleash him for the Playoffs. I believe it's a great move for the Heat and if Oden can contribute in some way at the end of the season then it may well be a 3 peat for the Heat!!!
First ever Father/Son to play for the same team together
I'm loving the Jennings trade to the Pistons! He brings some needed swagger, and if he gets too cocky Chauncey will be there to bring him down to earth. Just like Ron Harper did with a young Kobe at the Lakers back in the early 2000's.
The Pistons now have good shooters with Jennings, Billups, KCP and Datome. That will space the floor and give the bigs room to go to work. Everyone was saying that Josh Smith would clog the front line, but the good shooters will help nullify that.
Pistons will push for a late playoffs spot I reckon.
loving the jennings knight trade. And i can't wait to see Oden back in full flight, but low expectations to begin with as he would be the one who would want to push his body to see what his limits are!

so the 13-14 Season schedule got released overnight, which means I was able to work out which game I will be able to go see during my quick trip over on January!
Looks like I will be attending the Spurs vs Timberwolves on Jan 13 in SA!
We were also planning a stop over in Memphis (wife wants to see Graceland) and it just so happens that the Spurs are going to be in town to play the Grizzlies on that day too! #winning

They vary in price a lot depending on the view. I would love seats near courtside, but it is a fair amount of money. But i wouldn't want to be right at the back, especially if it is the only NBA game you are watching on your trip!
