Exactly... Oden would be under less pressure playing for the Spurs. He can take his time rehabbing and not worry about having major responsibilities. Pop is a genius when it comes to being cautious and handling a player's minutes. Oden would have a better chance of prolonging his career and ease his way back to the NBA by playing for the Spurs. The Heat desperately need a big guy that will defend and rebound, especially with some of the teams in the East possibly getting better so a lot more will be expected from Oden by the Heat than from the Spurs because the Spurs have a lot of depth at the C/PR positions.

I honestly don't think spurs fans want or care about Oden. If he by some dumb luck signed on with the Spurs, how long before he hurts himself and becomes a waste
of roster space?

Has Pop even spoken to him yet?
If Heat are in the lead there he will probably go there to try and win a ring like most will. Spurs were close but they are still the sexy pick.

even if spurs had won, the heat would have been the pick for next year as well (although they may not get out of the east next year).

No doubt. It would have been oh well Wade was hurt and he will be back healthy and a pickup or two they get that put them back in the faves category. I knew this year for the Spurs was house money (I wish they won it though), they will not be picked obviously to make it there again.
