Greg Oden is receiving interest from the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies, among others.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Boston Celtics have been linked to Oden over the past year.
Oden is in a "good place" mentally right now, according to a source.
Oden will not rush to sign with an NBA team.
Oden, 25, has not played since 2009 due to constant knee injuries.

Does he show up to camp with a walker?

[Jordanobili2320]

nah I hard he's got a killer cane though.

[dylankerouac]

If we can acquire Oden, a two or three team trade with Portland will be more likely to occur. Depending on how expensive Tiago gets and who third team will be.

[dylankerouac]

I don't think there is much of a chance of Spurs acquiring Oden though.

[spurraider21]

We should sign Oden and Bynum. One of them might pan out :lol

[look_at_g_shred]

We should sign Oden and Bynum. One of them might pan out :lol

At least our Frontline would look like a juggernaut on paper :lol

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Wouldn't be bad as the 6th big at the minimum. If he can tap into 10% of his potential that he had, it'll be more than what the Spurs can hope for.

[TheGreatYacht]

[TheGreatYacht]

Seriously, I think the Spurs should consider him. The reason is because nobody is better than Pop at managing player's minutes and giving them rest. If we can keep Tiago Splitter and sign Greg Oden to a cheap contract (at least more than what the cHeat can offer) then that will be fool's gold.

If Oden signs with another team like the cHeat, they would probably expect too much out of him, overplay him in minutes, and then the inevitable happens. If Pop can manage to handle Kawhi's jumper knees problem then I think Pop is more than capable of handling Greg Oden with caution. Greg Oden would be a heck of a player to come off the bench.

[Texas_Ranger]

I'd rather have Jermaine O'Neal

[loveforthegame]

8 hours later and the only two names we're linked to is Oden and Ellis.

Please be at work CIA Spurs. Please.

[TheGreatYacht]

Isn't he older, slower, and just as injury prone?

[Brunodf]

Sign him for the minimun tbh

[racm]

I'd be fine with a big rotation of Diaw/Bonner/Splitter/Duncan/Oden tbh

[SsKSpurs21]

I am really intrigued, BUT what can we really expect from him that we cant get from an already established free agent?

Wishful thinking but i hope we can somehow get him and he somehow lives up to the potential he had.

Robinson
Duncan
Oden

all three number 1 picks.

one can dream...

[Poolboy5623]

I wish he'd just go away..

[coachmac87]

Low risk high reward signing....he'd come cheap

[ducks]

he would be great for the min
he could easily take blair place
he would also make diaw stay in shape

[td4mvp2k]

Low risk high reward signing....he'd come cheap

no its hi 4 spurs cuz of TS

[ironman2886]

Just another player throwing out the Spurs name to feel desired to the rest of the league.

[coachmac87]

no its hi 4 spurs cuz of TS

?? Lol what??

[coachmac87]

?? Lol what??

[8FOR!3]

Oden on the Spurs would be sick on NBA 2K14.

If we can resign Splitter I actually like this. That way if Oden went down again which he is unfortunately somewhat likely to do, we have Splitter there.

I agree wholeheartedly!

[benefactor]

Waste of a roster spot.

[Cklbmk]

I'd take him for 2 year 3 mil or 3 year 5 mil with 3rd year TO

[xmas1997]

Spurs FO knows what they are doing, unlike some of the idiots on this forum!

[I. Hustle]

He's aged a little more

[Leetonidas]

Meh, he couldn't be worse than Baynes. I'd gamble on him for the right price. Anything over like 3 million is too much though imo

[tesseractive]

Probably, but not a waste of a phone call and a workout. Weirder things have happened.

[Poolboy5623]

Meh, he couldn't be worse than Baynes. I'd gamble on him for the right price. Anything over like 3 million is too much though imo

Yes he could be..and probably is. Plus he's ALWAYS injured and hasn't played in 4-5 years. I would take baynes, over oden 8 days a week, at this pt.

[milkyway21]

I think he is better now.


Spurs draft pick Deshaun Thomas told the Oregonian that Oden looked “unbelievable” during recent workouts at Ohio State.

“He’s running, lifting weights,” “You might be seeing a comeback. He looks like he is ready to go. He’s looking right.”

[Beaverfuzz]

He'd be a great ball boy.

[UZER]

FAs are always saying they are Penske material (Spurs) just to benefit themselves.

[Darkwaters]

Wouldn't be bad as the 6th big at the minimum. If he can tap into 10% of his potential that he had, it'll be more than what the Spurs can hope for.

For the minimum I'd take a swing at him. But nothing more.

[BatManu20]

Another guy who is dumb enough to take nude cell phone pics and send them to people. He'd replace George Hill nicely.

[Holden_Caulfield]

i approve. at the cheapest price of course.

[Sean Cagney]

We should sign Oden and Bynum. One of them might pan out :lol

:lol

Bravo sir for the Seinfeld reference. You deserve to be bolded for that.

Just gotta get done with the Penske file though.
