Nothing more than a low risk high reward type situation for Greg and the Heat

Wonder if Stein was "told" by Grantland.

Mark Titus, who I believe played with Oden at Ohio St, posted that story minute before his tweet. He obviously has known for awhile

Good for him. Someone needed to take Juwan's spot on the bench.

It's possible, but a lot of that could have been pre-written for any of the teams he was considering.

league minimum means very little risk for Miami. good move. this is as cheap as it would get for miami.

Should it be any different? If this scrub were signing with any other team, you'd be howling like mad.

I'll be SHOCKED if he ever sees the court

even with the league minimum this guy might make it through half the season at best before he blows one or both of his wheels...

if he DOES go less i surely won't be suprised...

that's not true. on the heat board i said if i was Oden I would have chosen the pelicans because they were offering more guaranteed money and given his injury history, he should be all about money. this is his last shot.

im glad he signed with miami.. we need big men. but i dont think this dude is the next coming of Zo.

it is really sad. this guy was a freaking beast at OSU. when they lost to the gators in the title game, the gators had four NBA players on their starting 5.. including al horford and noah in the front court. this man dominated all of them and he was younger. i would love to have seen what he really could have been if not for injury.

How are those "knees" holding up after 3 years on NO play in the NBA Greg?

 

[Flauge]

according to the heat his workout was great. same with pelicans. for his sake i hope they hold up. but the realist is me doesnt think they will.

Even without the injury, for sure Noah would have turned into a better player than Oden. Oden had more skill coming into the NBA but Noah had the work ethic and desire of a pro and seemed like he wanted it more.

In one year, Oden will have more rings than Durant...
