While Greg Oden was trying to announce what team he was going to sign with he dislocated his jaw and is out for the season.

Better than the last post trying to be funny???

Well considering you just copied Hoops Talk page on fb no.

If people are found to be lying or saying things that are false they should be banned from this site !

So you want people to believe you talked to him and then just trashed him. Hmmm.

No news is good news, in the Saints behave!

IMO
Peirre Jackson will have to change his approach on twitter or he will not be a Pelican, bcuz of his constant activities on the social web. Tom Benson hates loud(always into something) people!

That has more to do with Saints brass specifically than Benson. He probably doesn't even know what da heck a twittah is.

Greg Oden at his press conference:

I will be taking my talents to the Big Easy!

From now on call me Greg "Big Easy" Oden

I can dream can't I!!!!

My bad, my buddy posted it on his facebook.

Didn't know that he got it from Hoops Talk?

Well he must of hated one of the best WR's in Saints history!

JOE HORN!!!

Marc Stein ✔ @ESPNSteinLine
Three Western Conference finalists in Greg Oden sweepstakes tell ESPN they've been notified they WON'T get Oden and believe he's Miami-bound

Welp

Sacramento, San Antonio, Dallas, and New Orleans

there were 4 teams after him. We might not have been told anything.

Could be Kings, Mavs, and Spurs

And Mark usually seems to have the word on Pelicans transactions so most likely we are one of the 3 western conference finalists (there are 4 though)

What we do know is he WONT be going to SA.

HEAT

And its official he has joined Miami

Stein just said he picked Miami.

Nevermind, he's going to Miami. Oh well.

Two year deal with heat. Player option second year.

Marc Stein ✔ @ESPNSteinLine
Sources close to process tell ESPN that Greg Oden has agreed to two-year minimum deal with Miami Heat with player option in Year 2

It's official: Greg Oden will sign with the Miami Heat. My article coming shortly.

I bet the Pels were giving a team option and I guess with a player with that injury history it would be understandable.

Go back to life as usual. Nothing to see here. Keep it moving.

Disappointed

Well poop.

So anticlimactic... Was Heat after all... As the person who opened thread can I request it is closed and deleted?! Lol

Disappointed, but I had a feeling he was going there from the jump. Good luck Greg.

Oden still has to prove he can stay healthy

I knew it. He wants a title and Lebron will take all the spotlight off of him like I said pages back!

Not wishing him luck there; it is what it is. He knew all along and all this was posturing at our expense. This only makes me hate the heat more and more

THIS JUST IN: Greg Oden agrees to a 2-year minimum deal with Miami Heat w/ player option for 2nd year.

Yeah what a chump, anybody that goes to the heat I hate. Could care less now if he gets injured again but then again he will get a title for doing nothing regardless of
If he's playing so he's a chump for that and bandwagoning the heat. Teams will be coming after the heat hard next year especially In the paint so he's going to get banged up.

Delete this thread! :help:

Doesn't change a thing. We have had a great offseason. So excited for this year. More time for Davis, Smith and Withey. Nothing to see here move along. :) I wish him the best. The heat won't be relevant in 2-3 years when we are peaking anyway.

Thank you GOD we can end this thread now!

Pelicans already have one broken down player (Gordon), really didn't need another one

I wonder if he turned down more money from us because he wanted a ring that badly, trusts his knees to hold up, or a combo of both.

Eh, whatever. We have the superior Greg at center anyway.

It's Miami. They've still got Lebron. It's Miami. He's still only 25. Low key my @@@. He will get some spotlight in Miami and that is what any 25 year old would want while living in a city like that.

Oh well, we still got the true OG (Original Greg) this off-season, the Steamboat

What took him so long ??

That was fast:

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-tr...he-chose-miami

Jrue, Evans, Anderson, Davis

not even that mad. Good Luck Oden, i hope you can revitalize your career.

But i do hope Miami crashes and burns.

He wanted Miami all along. **** this *******; yeah I'm bitter lol

Glad that's over.

Well good luck blocking Davis glassman!

I wish him luck because no dude needs to go thru what he has. But yeah many pages ago I commented that he was using us as leverage. but the question is... will MIA truly "take it slow" with him? Or will they throw him out there expecting to be their "paint savior" and jack his knee up again?

Free agents 1. Pels new unis 0. :(
