He would be good on Portland if they had a place for him. I don't like the idea of just waiving him. They should try and get something for him. Since they don't need any more players with depth at every position, they should try and trade him for future picks. They could then use those picks (or pick) on a center next season or the year after if indeed Oden gets injured again.
