Good to know you're feeling better. Nice move throwing down the crutches on Wednesday night. See you tomorrow night at the RG!

Greg, check us out, www.shoottheball.net. See you in Portland on the 9th - can't wait for our bobbleheads!

Greg,
Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing you at 100%

Greg, How much can you bench in the weight room?

The most important thing for now is for you to heal completely. Then you get to start working with the great coaches as you are able. You get to learn so much this year that you will have a huge head start in being Rookie of the Year next year. Pay attention to Maurice Lucas, and get tips on how to sharpen your elbows. You have some great young team mates. Please keep us all updated as to the work you are doing, physically and mentally, to prepare for being our center for the next 15 years or so. The Blazers have a great future and you are the center of it. Stay focused and happy.

Great video Greg. I know you are down right now any competitor would be, but stay strong and your turn will come. Like they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. God Bless GO.

Greg, glad to see that you're taking care of yourself. Looking gooooooood!!!!

Greg move downtown, tualatin sucks! Im in your age group and if I lived in tualatin I would be so bored I think I would lose my mind! Hint look for a crib in the pearl district thats where im at and I love it. A 19 year old single guy living in tualatin=ouch.

If you're bored in Tualatin, you should hit craigslist.org and rent a place downtown. Just a 15min walk over the Broadway bridge to games.

Quick said that your thinking Portland is like Tualatin. Dude, the suburbs aren't exciting for 19-20yo. I'm out of college now but you'll want to buy a place in SW waterfront like Channing or by a pad down in the Pearl District. Good bars and people hanging out. 23rd and 21st are good places to hang out and some places in the east side are definitely chill too. The one thing you can't do is expect to hang out in freakin Tualatin and think exciting stuff is going to go down there. It aint, it's the suburbs. Move downtown take some friends with you like the dude that youre living with now and live it up down there. success and nothing less. Oh, and Gregie, you gotta tell the mcguigan member to not call you that. youre greg mofoin' oden. No gregie poo is getting respect from amare and kg.

Channing's probably bored out of his gourd in SW Waterfront. That neighborhood needs a bit more time.

Dear Mr. Oden,
I hear you think Tualatin leaves something to be desired. Dude, GET OUT OF THERE!! I've lived in Portland my whole life, and love it, but the suburbs make me depressed (just driving past them, even). I'm like you--I have to be able to walk places, to the grocery store, to the movies, wherever. At you age, you should be where you can see people and feel at least a little stimulated by your surroundings--Try the Pearl District! Then you can walk all around the waterfront loop, up into Forest park, everywhere. And have you tried the beach? It's wet and cold, but good walking. By the way, I've been meaning to let you know that your draft and your team mates have made me a Blazers fan for the first time since 1991. Thank you for coming to Portland! There ARE things to like about it!

Greg... Try finding a house in the West Hills... Or maybe, a condo in the KOIN Tower... That would put you in the heart of Portland.

Or, you could get yourself a nice place near me in the Hillsdale neighborhood. I could show you around. ;-)

Move to the Pearl District for Charles. He's missin' out on all the action!

Never heard of doggie day care before...and that neighborhood has 3 of 'em!

Juan Dixon used to live there before getting that house out in Tualatin. Must have gotten tired of the commute. Or maybe he got priced out...lol

Greg,
Hey whatsup. So, I just had the same surgery you had a little over a week ago...the microfractures; they thought it was just a torn meniscus but things changed once they went in. I just moved from Texas to play a little college ball (soccer) for a small school over in SE Portland, and half way through the season I messed my knee up...however, I did finish out the season...I just didn't get to play as much as before...ha! Anywho, I've got that leg machine (the guy said he'd delivered one to you the week before) for my knee...6-8 hrs a day...its rough! But, I was seein' if you got any advice or anything...like how to stay positive, b/c seein' my friends play or even just walkin' I get a little frustrated at times. Anything will help...

Greg, good to see you off the crutches and feeling better about the rehab. Man, it breaks my heart to think that Tualatin/BridgePort Village is all of Portland that you get to see, and that your life here is rehab/Tualatin, rehab/Tualatin. That's just wrong. Portland is an awesome city with great neighborhoods, and I sincerely hope you get to go out and see some stuff and meet people. I was about to say you should check out Dante's (where I met your teammate Channing Frye recently) but I remembered that you're not 21 yet. Seriously, though, I know some great restaurants in Southeast Portland where the breakfasts are outta this world, the doorways and ceilings are high, and it's not so crowded so people will mostly leave you alone and let you eat. If I knew how to get this info to you, I would, but hopefully somebody with the Blazers organization will help you out. I glad Luuuuuuke is showing you around, though honestly NW 23rd is pretty yuppie. later G.O.!

Greg:
Glad that you seem to have a great time at the Blazer Thanksgiving Dinner for the community. You need to keep being a fun person and everyone you will come in contact with you (off the court) will respect your humor and fun personality. When the 2008=2009 season comes around the NBA will learn to respect you as being "THE CLASS at the five." This of course will be for the next 15 years (or more) as you do for Portland what Duncan has done for SA. Have a GREAT Thanksgiving...

Happy 20th Greg! How does it feel to not be a teenager anymore?!
