After a long history of turbulent injuries that resulted in Ohio St. University Star to be released by the Portland TrailBlazers in 2012, and ending his stint in the league, Greg Oden will look to make a healthy and positive return to the NBA. Oden spent the week deciding on his team out of 6 potential buyers and ended up choosing the back-to-back champions Miami, signing a two-year deal at the veteran’s minimum with a player option on Year 2.
Oden told ESPN.com on Friday night that he has chosen the two-time defending champion Miami Heat as his new team, capping a monthlong recruiting process which culminated with Oden spending this entire week making his final selection from a list of six suitors.
At only 25 years of age with a ton of potential, this is a low-risk, high-reward move by Miami. We will see how Oden develops under Bosh and whether he can live up to his elite status coming out of College in 2007.
