We all knew Miami would be his first choice
The Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the top teams to sign 2007 No. 1 overall pick Greg Oden according to a CBSSports.com report.
CBSSports.com, citing a source, reports Oden hopes to meet with Heat officials within the next week.
The Cavaliers are doing their due diligence while evaluating Oden, said a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team's interest is contingent upon the center's health.

that news is disappointing. i'd hoped we'd sign him. i'm not surprised though. he might get more than a minimum from the cavs. and the heat are just the sexiest team for ring scavengers. he outta consider the spurs have the sexiest coach, classiest team, and ultimate mentor player.
But on the Spurs, he'd be playing 5-on-8 ball, which means additional wear and tear on his fragile knees as he gets hammered away in the paint. The situation will be reversed if he suits up for the Heat.
No surprise here, all the decent players either go to Miami or L.A. Small markets just never catch breaks anymore.
decent? oden isn't even a basketball ball player, he's a damn gimp. thank god SA isn't on his list of pine to ride.
True dat, my gripe is with us not being able to land anything other than Austrailian scrubs. It'd be nice to land a quality player to come join the fray once in a while.
I understand the sentiments why the (boring) Spurs are not the preferred destination of free agents and the likes. The Heat can have Oden, I don't think the Spurs care at all.
Do you guys think that the Spurs spoke to him or watched him work out at all?
Good for them
Good day fellas. Long time no post. oden is washed up and I think he is not serious about Nba anyway,no big loss at all.
Where do you think Tim and Pop was when we played Dallas last week? Tim all of a sudden got a sore knee??Puuuhhleeese? they were recruiting...BTW i dont believe Tim Legler....

Are we upset about this? Why would we want Greg Oden?
shocking. oden always has that 1% chance of becoming a solid big man in the NBA. but after so many season ending surgeries, the psychological impact will make him a s of his former self. the thought of another injury will always linger in the back of his mind and he will play timidly. not to mention all those injuries probably decreased his athleticism.
Hes tall and has a pulse.
Baynes > Oden
The Spurs would have been better of keeping Curry if they wanted a reclamation project, and as much as Eddy got glorified here in the preseason, notice that he didn't stick in Dallas either, and is currently out of the league.
Doing their due diligence..
pathetic
dude needs 3 weeks to decide where to continue his career which will most likely consist of 1 or 2 actual games until his next knee explosion
Moot point. They can't beat out Miami or Dallas in terms of desirable places to play and Cleveland is near his hometown of Buffalo. The Spurs don't have a snowball's chance in of landing Oden and they know it.
I never understood why Dallas is a desirable place to anyone...
If Oden want to extend his game, Timmy is the best available tutor in the market...
3-4 weeks is fine, he's not playing this season anyway. hope we pull it off.
Larger market and Cuban's money.
maybe holt can throw in a bulldozer to sweeten the deal...
LOL!
