What's up with all this talk about cap space? You want to win championships? You will most likely be over the cap. If you're trying to stay at the cap or under, you won't win.
With that said, Oden is a **** good player (this is coming from a Gator). He played all of his college games with a cast on his right, shooting, hand. It was replaced with a smaller cast, which he still wore til the NCAA championship game. I think Oden has or will have an actual shot unlike to Dwight who scores on put backs, layups, and dunks. Oden just couldn't shoot that much given his hand injury.
