    Greg Oden will make his free agent decision next week.

    Oden will choose between the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks.

    The Heat and Spurs have long been considered the favorites to sign Oden.

    If the spurs get oden; I'll be pissed. I think pop would get his ass to the caliber we hoped for. There will be a lot of butt hurt Portland fans.

    The odds of him making any kind of meaningful contribution to a team are very small.

    On one hand, I want him to do well because I think he is a decent guy. On the other, I hope he has several fractures stepping off the plane just because I'll be so fucking mad if he has a significant impact for a contender.

    Oden will make the decision? LOL

    Like teams are beating on his door for him to sign with them for anything other than the vet minimum. He wasn't even healthy enough to play summer league as a try-out. That's a bit telling to me. He'll be 26 years-old in January, and has played the total of one NBA season over his six years since being drafted.

    The guy didn't take things seriously early in career. He was all over town partying and drinking, and while I know many posters said "well, he's just a young guy, blahblahblah, the results show that the "I'm a young guy" approach didn't work. That's on him.

    I agree that Oden will piss a lot of Blazers fans off! Specially if he comes to Portland and he just dominates the Blazers. Paul Allen might not want to watch that game.

    It sucks he couldn't make it here. Some of it was our fault, some of it was his, but most of it was his own body betraying him. A smart team will insist he plays at 250 or below and gets him into top flight condition.

    As long as he doesn't smoke PDX regularly, I'll be happy for him if he makes a comeback.

    My boy is going to do just fine. Play him 15-20 min off the bench. There are no expectations....... he's going to get you 10/10 watch. Bet he goes to Miami.

    He's going to be fine. We should have never waived him.
