Looks like Greg Oden’s comeback is going to happen soon and it’s down to two teams. Check out who they are after the jump…
Via ESPN:
The Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the top teams to sign 2007 No. 1 overall pick Greg Oden, according to a CBSSports.com report.
CBSSports.com, citing a source, reports Oden hopes to meet with Heat officials within the next week.
The Cavaliers are doing their due diligence while evaluating Oden, said a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team’s interest is contingent upon the center’s health.
Before watching No. 11 Ohio State’s 58-49 win over Wisconsin on Tuesday night in Columbus, Ohio, Oden said he hopes to be healthy enough to take another shot at pro ball.
“I don’t know when, but I’m taking this year off. I’ll play next year,” said Oden, who led the Buckeyes to the Final Four as a freshman in 2007.
Oden’s agent, Mike Conley Sr., could not be reached for comment.
Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed on Jan. 17 the team was “monitoring” Oden, but said it hasn’t made an attempt to sign the 7-footer.
CBSSports.com reported the Celtics have expressed interest in Oden, but that the former Ohio State star prefers either Miami or Cleveland.
