TEAMS: Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers
Just when everyone was ready to move on and file the Greg Oden saga away for good, news of teams showing interest surface. I am sure that is good for Mr. Oden as he must have a lot of time on his hands these days.
The Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the top teams to sign 2007 No. 1 overall pick, according to a CBSSports.com report.
CBSSports.com, citing a source, says Oden hopes to meet with Heat officials within the next week.
I think it would be a good fit actually. It is not like he has to do a lot. Just play 10 minutes, block a shot and give the other bigs a breather.
Plus he will get to play with future Hall of Famer, Chris Bosh.
If the Heat don’t work out, the Cavaliers are doing their research while evaluating Oden. They of course want to know that he is not going to break into a million pieces the next time he draws a charge. Good call Cleveland.
Oden’s agent, Mike Conley Sr., could not be reached for comment. Probably busy watching his kid play.
