Greg Oden will sign with the New Orleans Pelicans IMO - Monty Williams will close the deal.
Sources told ESPN that Oden will put his skills on display again Thursday for Atlanta Hawks officials before sitting down for his long-anticipated private meeting with the Pelicans later this week in Las Vegas.

What?
Oh. Got mixed up. Thought that was a link that said Oden was signing with us.
Very misleading structuring with the post.
I'm just saying, actions speak louder than words. You don't fly out to Vegas just to show face. If all he cared about was being on the Heat, he would have signed a minimum deal already and not been talking to 7 teams. If we give him the right deal, we have a great shot to make this happen.
Na folks just need to relax and read it is only my opinion. Based on us having the last meeting.Originally Posted by Nola Hornet
I agree with this statement
The thing is it looked like it was apart of the article so most of us went through the article expecting to see that, but good work with the edit.
Monty will close the deal - private meeting with Pelicans later this week lol... Not very hard to understand also mentions Atlanta workout in the post . It's exciting I know but it's clearly just my opinion.

Sounds like Oden killed it.
http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/7/2...oden-gary-nealOden reportedly looked "great" in front of a handful of teams and is expected to make a final decision shortly.
It's tough to imagine the past few years going any worse for Greg Oden, who has played all of 82 games since going No. 1 overall in the 2007 Draft. After countless injuries and surgeries, the 7-footer is trying to resurrect his career one final time.
As expected, Oden worked out for a handful of teams in Indianapolis Tuesday and looked great, according to one report. It's unclear just how hard he was pushing it during the workout and what kind of basketball drills he was able to successfully do.
I don't care much who he chooses, I just want the guy to play. I feel sorry for him.
I feel the same way. I would like for it to be here, but I really am just rooting for the guy no matter what. Some things are bigger than basketball and the guy has had a rough life.

A rough life making 23 million. LOL. No but seriously, I'm sure the guy just wants to be healthy so he can play basketball somewhere. I know he had gotten kind of down and started drinking and what not so hopefully things will start to look up for him and he can just play ball.
Didn't he get ankle surgery though?
I don't know a lot about his life.
What has made his life rough?

IF he signs with us, we basically got our Block Party that lasted 4 minutes back!!!
dude was an alcoholic, cause of close friend dying or something like that. i remember reading something about it was like 1 or 2 years ago
It's gonna be interesting seeing the reaction of those here whether he signs or not:
1.) If he signs - "Oden and AD will be a great duo and we'll have a block party for years to come!"
2.) If he chooses another team - "Hope he blows out both knees again."

I sure hope not. That would be terrible to hope for with any player. I don't expect much of anything out of Oden no matter who he signs for.It's gonna be interesting seeing the reaction of those here whether he signs or not:
1.) If he signs - "Oden and AD will be a great duo and we'll have a block party for years to come!"
2.) If he chooses another team - "Hope he blows out both knees again."

Sure, but he hasn't had any surgeries since his last surgery.
Good point....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
He hasn't played since his last surgery either......
.... uh yea
