If he wants to have A LOT less pressure on him and to grow with a young team, and make slightly more guaranteed money, its us.


I keep hearing this, and I know the lights are bright in Miami, but won't the media/some pressure follow Oden wherever?

It doesn't seem like a legit factor in the decision to me...if he's ready to play, why does he care about the pressure?

...not to mention the Heat are gonna win a lot of games with or without him. doesn't being on a team like that that can mask your deficiencies reduce pressure in a lot of ways?

JMO...would love to get Oden, but it seems like he's a Heat lock.

He's not a heat lock.

There will be media questions his rehab,etc. wherever he goes but it's a much greater scrutiny if he goes to Miami as he's going to a championship team and they'll expect him to perform right away.

Wouldn't Oden cost the Heat a lot of money because of the luxury tax? I would not think they would take such a risk.
