It's true, but not for a workout.
Is it true that he recently visited here twice or is that just rumor?

Then why?
Is that your best Cleveland joke. Quite amateurish.Hey remember how the cavs aren't a crap franchise? Oh wait.
Just to talk and keep tabs on his progression.
Actually, I think Pat Riley would probably rip out Oden's heart and sacrifice it on a Satanic altar if it meant winning a le.

Best thing I have EVER read on ST today.Actually, I think Pat Riley would probably rip out Oden's heart and sacrifice it on a Satanic altar if it meant winning a le.
For Oden Miami is a big spotlight. If things don't start off well, he'll get more negative pub...Spurs are under the radar.
So it seems Oden will make his decision this week instead of next...
The more I think about it the more I believe he's not going to pick the Spurs. He's gonna pick the Heat. The thing is, I read something in a recent interview where he said he wants to win 15 championships (very unlikely I know). When he looks over at the heat roster, you have the best player in the NBA in his prime along with Wade and Bosh. Then you look over at our squad...you see a 37 year old Tim Duncan who is the team's best player as well as a declining Argentinian. Oh don't forget the French-men who seemed to shutdown when it mattered most. Now of course it's a no-brainer for him. This guy doesn't care about his health or any of that. He wants to go to a team where he can ride his way to a championship...have a few good games during the season, and call it a comeback for the ages. I really hope i'm wrong. I'd like to see Oden at 100% learning from the greatest ever. That would be something to witness for us Spurs fans. If he's smart, he'd pick the Spurs where he can slowly get his form back and not really have to contribute right away. Here there is no pressure of succeeding or failing. It's just pure Spurs basketball.
Oden worked out for three teams yesterday in Indy and Spurs didn't even send a representative to check him out Either the Spurs see the writing on the wall or they couldn't even be bothered.
Or it's already a lock; most likely the former though.
Maybe their representative was Deshaun Thomas? lol j/k
I don't think they necessarily needed to go see him, I think he knows there's already a mutual interest just from speaking with them. Who knows what their conversations were, but he knows they are interested."Man, he looks unbelievable," Thomas said. "He's running, he's lifting weights. You might be seeing a comeback. He looks like he is ready to go. He's running, getting in shape. I'll tell you one thing: For a big 7-footer, that's all he does -- running and getting in shape. He's looking right."
Wish Spurs would give Damion James a chance. Ultimate team guy and fills in the need for a small forward. Doesn't force anything and has great rebounding skills.
I agree, no way he comes to San Antonio. No way. Heat give him a guaranteed ticket to the finals and the chance to get a ring along side Lebron James, his son. On top of that, Miami>>>>>San Antonio for young rich ballers. Every player uses the spurs as leverage and complimenting them about their class organization is the norm. At the end of the day, this does not weigh heavily in their decision making process.
^^ good, never had any interest in k-mart
The Spurs already met with him last week.
I also think he'll pick the Heat but I disagree with this reasoning. The Heat are a complete unknown after this season. Lebron could be a Cav or Laker next season. Wade will undoubtedly return but he looks to be breaking down.
The Spurs, on the other hand, are set to be a championship level club for at least the next two seasons. After that it's an unknown but you figure they'll still have Parker and Kawhi Leonard which is a pretty good start.
I think he'll choose the Heat because they can pay him more and because any rich person in their right mind would rather live in Miami than San Antonio (no offense to the locals)
Miami has the taxpayers MLE. If they pay more, it's not going to be by much because of the risk involved and the additional tax. I think Miami wants him at or around the minimum.

Grizzlies put in waiver claim on Akognon while continuing to pursue Mike Miller. Moves completely unrelated; MEM still chasing @m33m hard
I think 2013 would be spent on Oden getting in to shape and acclimating to a new team. I have serious doubts that he could contribute in the immediate future. Still, he's worth a roster spot. Perhaps the Spurs know something and that's why they rescinded the QO to Neal.
