re: Greg Oden to host 2 or 3 teams depending on who you ask.

Greg Oden went through a two-hour workout Tuesday in Indianapolis in front of Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, new Sacramento Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro and representatives from the New Orleans Pelicans, according to sources close to the situation.

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.

..."It went well," the source told ESPN about the workouts. "He did a ton of agility stuff, ran suicides and also did drills on the court."

Sources maintain that Miami and San Antonio, fresh off dueling in the NBA Finals, are still positioned as the co-favorites for Oden's services.

Atlanta being in the mix is interesting. They have over $5 million in cap space so can outbid everyone left by a significant amount. That either means Oden is looking health enough to get more money, or Oden's Agents are leveraging Atlanta against the only team that seems likely to give less than it's best possible offer, the Heat. If the Pelicans have a chance it really is on Monty to sell Oden. Fortunately it looks like Monty will get the last sales pitch.
