I've read on other sites that it's Dallas that he chose....which makes no sense to me.

Oden has to be confused and rightfully so.

It basically comes down to risk vs. $$

Every team has an advantage and I'm sure a part of him wants to come down here, a part wants to get paid, a part of him wants to get minutes, a part of him wants to come back slow and cash in next year. I understand why he would change his mind numerous times, it isn't easy, this decision can change his career, unlike LeBron where he had no wrong choice, Oden has to make the right call or its over for him.

I saw someone post on the general board that dallas sign via Marc Spears tweet but turn out to be false alarm. If it weren't for the simple fact that we have not signed anyone i would not be this excited about a FA signing.

FYI Just got off the phone with Oden. He's made a decision. Just finalizing things now. I'll break the news when he gives me the go-ahead.

NBA Zone ‏@OfficialNBAZone 2m
More on Greg Oden: Spoke with a source VERY close to Oden, who informed me that Oden will sign with Miami. Should be announced shortly...


Idk how legit this is.. but all their tweets have been NBA related in terms of transactions and signings.

One good thing about contracts, you can't change your team/mind once you sign....lucky for the team that signs Oden.

Chris Tomasson - fox sports :

I just talked to Mike Conley, agent for Greg Oden. Gave some details on Oden such as when he'll make decision, etc.

--Conley said Oden still plans to be make his decision tonight but nothing is super imminent since he has a call with a team around 6:45 p.m. So the decision could still be a few hours away.

--Conley said the Miami Heat are still very much in the mix.

--Of the six teams that are involved, Conley wouldn't give specifics but said "some he's leaning toward more than others.'' Those teams are Miami, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, New Orleans and Sacramento.

--Asked if Oden told him he'll make his decision tonight, Conley said, "We're talking about it.'' Then reiterated it will get done tonight. about a minute ago

Well his agent said nothing is imminent ..and he has a call with a team scheduled at 6:45... so yeah I guess at this point this has been last second negotiating tactics

Return to Miami Heat
