    Rumor Pelicans to meet with Oden {EDIT-Oden chooses Miami,P.61}

    Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 2h Story going online: ESPN sources say Greg Oden will be in Las Vegas this week for sitdowns w/officials from Mavericks, Kings & Pelicans

    I'd be excited if all those other teams didn't have more cap than us, but it's nice that he's meeting with us though i figure its just a complementary sort of thing to monty. Interesting stuff though.

    Love the idea. No ones going to give up big $ got him at this point NO might be the best place for GO to ease back into the league with out all the hoop-la and media frenzy.

    i'm not sure if he's trying to suck out every last dime he can or if he's getting close to being ready. I think it's well worth the risk either way.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    We can only offer him the minimum. I am not sure that he would have serious interest.

    Couldn't hurt hit him with a non guaranteed contract and hope he works out! I'm sure no one is going to waste any more than the minimum for him !

    He's coming off so many injuries and it looks like he'll never come back into the league from a medical perspective. But he's well worth the risk, because if it comes off, we could have a dominant centre or very useful rotation guy who would be keen to pay back our faith in him.

    If we get oden I'm convinced that dell demps plays 2k13

  14. #14
    Heck, for 10 hard minutes a game, league minimum should be ok with him if he can move. Likes the coach, young core. Did EG ever play with Oden in AAU?

    If he plays 2k13 he would've gone after Ellis. Dude can't miss.

    if you can convince him to take a 1 yr minimum we might have something to offer him next year... i think he has the most to gain here being part of a core right around his age

    I know this is the case for every player, but with this guy's injury history, any game could seriously be his last. He would be dumb to NOT go to the highest bidder. I do like the Monty connection though.

    never mind, I do see that he played with EG in aau. There are a lot of connections with this team now. A healthy Oden would be a huge asset.

    It's a good point. I don't think we'll get him, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    It's like LeBron and co. Got together during the Olympics. Except this was AAU.

    I talked about getting him before, worth the risk easily

    The sitdown with Mavericks officials, sources said, is scheduled for later Monday, as Dallas pushes to join the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat at the forefront of the race to be the team to resurrect the career of 2007's No. 1 overall pick. ESPN.com
