something to do about a guy named henderson that got caught with his hands in his pants if i remember right.


I always thought the name referred to Devery Henderson's butter fingers.

Do "sources" think the game is going to end today?



Wasn't explicit, but the tone was soon. Just me interpreting.

Still, it's up to Oden.

Dude may be picking his LAST team to play ball with, or to even have a chance. I can understand the hesitation.

Here's how I read it: If he wants Miami, this is just Oden and his people trying to jack up the price. If he wants New Orleans, then he would have signed. If he is undecided, it's waiting for Miami to blink on the money.

To me, NOLA has more to offer overall if he wants to restart his career without pressure. Miami is the place to get a potentially `cheap' ring and end his career on a hollow high note if he doesn't really believe in his ability to come back.

If he believes he's solid . . . who knows?

The potentially-last-check factor has to be a factor.

where did you get this from?


Someone a few pages ago, I think GeauxMedic, said they heard that on SportsCenter. I haven't seen mention of it anywhere else and that was in the middle of everyone making up their own fake tweets so who knows.

FYI Just got off the phone with Oden. He's made a decision. Just finalizing things now. I'll break the news when he gives me the go-ahead.

I don't think Miami will blink on the money. I just do not see them paying luxury tax for Greg Oden. I agree that he probably would prefer Miami over New Orelans.

42 personally I don't think you need to explain yourself I said it from the start of the thread people are just freaking out for some reason thanks for at least passing on the Oden info

That's his friend that wrote the Oden article for Grantland last year. Sounds legit.

It sounds like Greg Oden has made his free agency decision. Announcement coming soon.

How about "Someone I trust thinks Oden is NOLA Bound. Didn't ask about the chain."


I think you got that and more.

Again, where does it indicate that is not just passing on info.

Same to you, NOSHAU.

Seriously. I think there are two responsible indications of doubt in the statement.

Asking for feedback here about how this did not express at least a measure of doubt.

Again, I think people are confusing the thread title and the quote.

At this point I mostly want Oden to sign with us just to see the Heat fans melt down.
