Kerr: You have to take a chance on a guy like Oden.
Bill Simmons: "If you were running Phoenix at this point would you think about Oden?" Steve Kerr-" No question… Absolutely, particularly if you have a good training staff. Sometimes it’s just a change of scenery, but you look at the history of the league and there are guys like Zydrunas Ilgauskas who everybody thought was done with all the foot injuries, and he came back and whatever he did differently worked and he came back and became an all-star... Particularly with a guy like Oden you have to take a chance and somebody will. The question is whether someday will come in and throw big money at him and then Portland would have a decision whether to match and all that. He’s only 22 so you’ve got to keep giving him opportunities for sure."
