I think he's going to south beach.
Assuming this website has no credible sources? Would be a huge surprise if he chooses Pelicans. But either way this Oden saga is getting old.

How many Oden treads does their need to be?

Spurs aren't hurting at the 5. Could use more shot blocking, but Oden is such a crapshoot. Won't be bummed if he ends up elsewhere.
True, yet I was kind of hoping he would stay injury free and carry on the DRob, TD torch. Doesn't appear that will happen. Somewhere along the line the Spurs will just have to win another lottery.
one advantage of not signing with heat or spurs is less coverage and people in both would expect him to help make them a winner
I'll say this again, if Oden chooses the Heat then I hope he tears his ACL's and retires for good. That's right... I'm a Spurs homer.
Smokescreen he will chose the Spurs!
Just a word to the wise, it is really really in bad taste to wish injury on anyone regardless of whether you are a homer or not. It just isn't a very cool classy thing to do especially for a Spurs fan. We leave that for the Mav, Laker, or Heat trolls.
It's a free country, but still ..........
Figured he wasn't coming but this season he doesn't really help the spurs anyway
I heard somewhere he was thinking he might not want to play for a contender just yet so there's no expectations...let him ease his way back in. If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in New Orleans.
I'm not sure Oden could work up the torque to tear an ACL.
I will be very very surprised if he comes here. I was hopeful, but as usual they never come here.
I just don't see how the Spurs wouldn't be the smartest choice for him. Pop will bring him along very slowly, and I don't think anyone here will expect him to win the Championship for us, or make him the scapegoat if we don't win it.
Miami, on the other hand, do need a big man more than we do, so even though they don't need him to play big minutes there, they might very well need a big man to step up in the playoffs to help them win it all again. If Miami lose, it might be because they needed a big man to step up against another team like Indiana or Brooklyn. I think there has got to be much more pressure in Miami for him than here. If he doesn't see that, then he just isn't that smart and he's going for the flashy choice IMO.
hes no spurs fan Hes a trolls fan
Aren't hurting at the 5?!
Oh yeah, because Splitter was such a world beater in the Finals and logged heavy minutes each game, huh? Oh and Bonner also must have logged huge minutes in the Finals, too. Oh yeah, we're loaded at the 5.
Look, I don't give a damn about that geriatric-looking cripple Oden. The moment word got out that he would like to play for the Heat, months ago, it was basically set in stone he would pick them or the highest bidder. Kids like him just think they're too cool to sign for the Spurs. That's just how it is with today's players in his generation. But for Spurs fans to create this false illusion that we suddenly have an embarassment of riches at the 5 is beyond hyberbole or blind-homerism, it's flat out absurd.
I think the Pelicans will be very formidable this year. A backcourt of Holiday, Evans, and Gordan is very good. Then Davis and Rivers will likely improve from thier underwhelming rookie years. They are a little weak up front with Davis and Ryan Anderson but the addition of Oden helps a ton. Dont be suprised if Pelicans contend next season if they are healthy.
good luck to him, hopefully he can still carve out some sort of a career for himself...
It would have been nice to see him on the team...i guess common sense never prevails when the spurs are potential suitors
Onto the next acquisition
i think it will be the pelicans (money and length of contract)
I wonder if you will be saying the same thing if it turns out that Oden has a healthy season playing for the Heat and ends up being an integral part of why they Heat three peat, especially if the Spurs make it to the NBA finals again. I'd like to hear your reaction then.I like that.Aren't hurting at the 5?!

the mere fact that the guy was highly touted coming out of college, was selected with the #1 pick and has only played a total of 82 NBA games in 4 years is enough for me to want him to have at least some sort of semblance of a career.
In the end if someone, in this case oden, doesn't want to play for the spurs it is ultimately their choice. I don't wish any ill fate on anyone. These are real people we're talking about and that fact shouldn't be confused with their soulless NBA2k counterparts. If anything his choice is more a reflection of his character and where mindset really is...It would be nice for once to actually see a FA use their brain and choose the spurs over the more so-called "desirable" destinations though
Like I said before, onto the next acquisition
