His news is the only thing keeping the offseason alive other than the Bucks just doing strange things and filling their team with random bench players.

Its funny everybody started complaining about Tyreke taking so long and it turns out he made the right choice. Give Ol Greg his time and we may be rewarded again

Guys , he's going to pick us there is no doubt it's obvious , if he was gonna pick the Heat for the reasons you would pick the Heat he would have already chosen them . Because the only reason you pick the Heat over us is a better short term chance of winning a ring no other reason because every other advantage is on our side . Probably by Friday he will be a Pelican , this is just my opinion but its a fairly obvious one .

07-31-2013, 07:16 AMSeaLegsI feel like MIA has a better chance than we do, unfortunately. I'd love to be proven wrong though.Quote:

Would be funny if because he doesn't show up at the Jersey reveal that in some fans minds it may have meant he didn't sign with the club. But if he did, then that would be one of the sickest reveals in sports history. Very Pro Wrestling style.

Center Greg Oden probably won’t decide among the Heat and five other teams until this weekend, agent Mike Conley Sr. said Tuesday, adding that formal offers haven’t been made yet. He said the Heat has seen “all it needs to see” from a medical standpoint and that Oden won’t necessarily take the highest offer. But asked if a Heat offer at the $1 million minimum would be good enough, Conley said he was not sure.

07-31-2013, 01:07 PMRaisingTheBar
I'm to the point where I really don't even care if he signs with us. Just be done with this already.
-

The situation has been the same for a while. All things being equal, Greg would go to the Heat. But all things are not equal. The Pelicans are offerring more money. They are going to hold out as long as they can to get the Heat to raise their offer. A move that is just a waste of time. Then he'll have to choose. And I would be shocked if he left money on the table.

it just feels like a lot longer than it's been. We've probably been in the picture for about a week & a half. We take longer to choose between two refrigerators than that, give the guy some time
-
07-31-2013, 01:36 PMDroopyDawg
OK guys I'm at the point now where I don't even care. The decision can't possibly be t his hard to make, and now I'm thinking they're waiting for Miami to add in a few dollars, and if they don't, he'll choose MIA anyway.
Time to focus on the guys we got. -
07-31-2013, 01:38 PMPowerPel
Funny is that some of you want Oden but cry NO over Granger. Just sayin.
-
07-31-2013, 01:41 PMkclaboy504
He's obviously preferring to go to the heat and want them to up the offer. Cause if there is nothing else to see like he stated then it doesn't take this long to decide. It's obvious he wants more $ from Miami. I really hope you guys don't get disappointed if he doesn't sign here. This move is not a back breaker by any means. Actually it very well can wind up meaning jack squat. The % of this guy being able to contribute and continue his career is probably in the high teens to low 20s. Of course I'm no md but odds are stacked against him big time. We will be as good as we are gonna be without him.
-
07-31-2013, 01:42 PMDeck Of CardsHow is that even relevant? To get Granger, we have to give up Gordon, who while both are injury prone, Gordon is 23, Granger is 30. How does this even compare? We don't have to give up anything to get Oden.....Quote:

I'm done, I don't even care if he signs with us or with others. Anyway, I'm contented with what we have right now on our front court.
-
07-31-2013, 02:19 PMBig-EZ
yeah, this situation has just been a waste of time as I doubt he will be a Pelican.
-
07-31-2013, 02:23 PMDroopyDawg
There's no other reason for him to still be "making his decision" other than he's waiting for MIA to offer more $.
-
07-31-2013, 02:25 PMMichaelMcNamara
Did anybody read the part where it said teams haven't even made formal offers yet before bashing Oden for not making a decision?
Normally, companies have to offer you a job before you can choose one -
07-31-2013, 02:29 PMbojangles837Lol. That's what I was laughing at earlierQuote:

FORMAL OFFERS meaning paperwork. I would be very surprised if Demps as not either flat out said or alluded to "hey you will get 3mil/year here".

Okay, so lets get frustrated with a young man not making a decision on several non formal offers as he tries to resurrect his career because it is not fast enough for our liking.
Honestly, it is not holding up anything else and camp isn't for another 6 plus weeks, so what does it matter if he agrees on July 28th or August 11th? -

Michael, THANK YOU for some reasoning. Read the whole article people. You guys have got have some patience. Just read an article on Bleacher Report that says Oden is down to Pelicans, and Heat. Would love to have him at 3 million a year for 2 years. When he was healthy he put up solid numbers. I think he would be a great addition to the team.
-
07-31-2013, 02:56 PMPELICANSFAN
This same agent said a while back that he has talked offers with teams, some in general terms and some much more specific. It appears he is playing with words (i.e. "formal") as he awaits a specific offer.
-
07-31-2013, 02:59 PMMichaelMcNamara
If this were holding us up from other moves, I could understand the frustration. But if Oden passes, there really are just minimum players left. He can take as long as he wants as far as I am concerned.
