The Mavericks will get "legit consideration" from unrestricted free agent Greg Oden.
The Spurs and Heat are still the frontrunners to sign Oden, but the Mavs may have a little more money to offer. The Mavs are in a bit of scramble for a center after missing on Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum, so Oden is a real option for them. It's worth noting that NBA.com's David Aldridge said that Oden could wait until August to make a decision. Dallas is also considering a deal with Samuel Dalembert.

We'll need a bigger infirmary?
We'll have to be super lucky to get AK and even more so to get Oden, so I doubt we get either.
We will end up getting a D leaguer or some random foreign guy we never heard of.
Getting AK would be fantastic but a big no to Oden. Everybody here must be re ed if they think Oden will ever suit up in a meaningful game.
Spurs mentioned first by Stein. Didn't realize we were that serious about him.
Oden is going to sign with the Heat. It just seems like everyone wants to ride LeBron's coattails these days. He would just be the latest member. If he wanted to actually prove himself, he would come here but that is not going to happen.
Spurs have enough bigs. He wont sign with Spurs.
He will either sign with Miami or Dallas, no one comes here if they don't have to.
If Oden never had another knee injury again, he could easily become the best center in the NBA..... That's a big 'if' but it's well worth the small risk.
Oden has no chance of EVER being the best center in the NBA even if he was 100% healthy the rest of his career.
Still at this point might as well move Diaw over to SF and sign Oden, give him a shot.
Yes I agree we should sign Oden....Small risk Big reward....I do get why some of these doomsayers are against signing this guy? Any additional time he gives as a back up solidifies the paint when the starters are not in? Go figure? We were a rebound, blocked shot, and a seven footer away from another championship?
Poor bas . I hate seeing rare talents have their careers doomed by injury. Especially ones who aren't complete wits. (Nude photo scandal aside)
He can join the list of the likes of Jamaal Mashburn, Fat Lever (Legendary name), Danny Manning, Yao Ming, TMAC, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway and Shawn Kemp as just a few I wish I saw play healthier longer.
But this guy only played 82 games his whole career, never really had a chance to get going like the others. But I suppose that is sport and that’s the way it goes. Anyways I hope if he can even walk these days we sign him up and see what he can do.
If healthy, he could really salvage the Spurs off season!
Cleveland, Boston, and Memphis have dropped out of the race, but Dallas has jumped in.
It's been reported in the past that DRob is his idol, so give David his number!
And now I hear that Spurs draft pick Deshaun Thomas and him are good friends.

I would risk money on this guy.
My only concern is that this guy is hesitating to come here...Its a red flag....Either his injury is still prevalent or he is just looking for money....Think about it...Why wouldn't he have made his choice between San Antonio or Miami? He has had enough time to consider both? I'm just sayin?
The Spurs will do a medical control.
Maybe theres a contract lenght issue.
Yes, I agree it is somewhat a red flag, but it also could be quite innocent. He is in school and may be graduating could be one explanation, there are any of a number of things that may explain it.
We just have to wait and see what transpires. At least it's not bogus under the table KGB dealings like with AK! We all know the former KGB runs Russia now, and if you weren't aware of that, now you are.
Pls pick San Antonio
Is it confirmed that that is actually Oden's account?
He is permitted to deliberate his options like everyone else, including you. I'd be concerned if he wouldn't allow medical staff to evaluate him. But if that was the case, we wouldn't consider him.
I deleted my posts, although I do trust Bonnell (I'm sure he knows Bobcat players twitter accounts), though looks like someone is making fun of the MWP tweets.
I heard he was taking his time. Likely announcement early August. Has this changed?
