Anyone see Oden on PTI? They asked him what if he didn't go #1. Oden said that he would be disappointed but he just feels blessed to have this opportunity to play in the NBA and he just hopes he goes in the first round.

Kornheiser was like, I'm no draft expert but I can guarantee you go in the first round.

It was just kind of funny how Oden was trying to not sound to full of himself...a good thing.

i don't think he was trying not to sound full of himself. from what i've read about him, he's the exact opposite.

I know. He is a very humble person. Just kind of funny that he "hoped" to go in the first round.

Do the Cavs work a trade to get into this draft?

Noone would be so foolish to give up the #1 or #2 pick for anything Cleveland has to offer but LJ!! We are just out of luck on this one!

LOL. I realize that Monte. I wasn't intending to imply that they get in the draft for Oden or Durant. I heard there was some talk of the Cavs trying to get a second round pick in the draft through a trade.
