Oden to Miami?

[Stat & Melo]

article says he is willing to sign for the minimum in order to have a shot. i think if he is in as good shape as they say he is, he will greatly help the heat off the bench this coming season if he can stay on the court of course.

Seems like he will go to either miami or cleveland..

thoughts?

Hopefully his come back turns out better than Brandon Roy's did

I really just want to see Greg Oden be healthy and compete. He was so dominate in college wondering what he could have become is actually really sad.

[Bandito]

If he does and comes back to be a solid Center, as long as he don't expect touches the league is done. 3x rings for Lebron's time.

[oh the horror]

I think that's a waste of a roster spot.

Dude looked like he was starting to put it together before his last injury pulled him off the court.

So much potential.

[oh the horror]

"Potential" is out of the window at this point.


Greg Oden is not a starter for your championship team.

who said anything about a starter? its about him signing for the minimum, and trying to work himself back in. its literally a no-risk situation for Miami, if he sucks they can just cut him...

and his potential is not out of the window, its probably out of the window if your speaking in terms of of him being a superstar player, but not if your hoping he might be able to come back and rebound and play defense.

Somebody better give him more than the minimum just to stop Miami from grabbing him, just for the off chance he's healthy.

Think hes going to run with Miami Heat's fast-pace offense?

woud be better than Rashard,Juwan,Jones

if he can just produce
8,8
hed be great

and since Odens defens and offense totally eclipses Andersens he could very well get 15,10 with 2 blocks in 20 min
if hes healthy
hell get spoonfed shots,as long as he can play d,doesnt matter as much if he can score

if he can play d,then it was a great acquisition

Pretty much this.

The heat have signed guys like Eddy Curry or Juwuan Howard over the years, basically players that give them nothing.

Like others mentioned it's a high potential low risk type of signing. If he's not healthy you just cut the guy and move on like nothing happened.

consiering he said hes not doing it for the money

and he made it clear cut
his 2 options are Mia 1st and Cle 2nd

If somebody does offer him a huge contract,itll be stupid
knowing the team that does theyll try to get their moneys worth and overplay him,even though he hasnt played in 4 years

Miami would be perfect bc he can get limited to max time,the heat will take it slow like they did andersen,and the focus wont be on him at all,hell get spoon fed opportunities and can play sparingly or until hes ready
like Birdman
who was playing 4-8 min his first couple of months
then 10-15

Just hoping his leg length problem has been solved somehow...
