If I were Oden I would sign with the cavs.


Lebron is leaving Miami after the 13-14 season. So why sign a long term deal with Miami when the King is already leaving?


If he wants to win, get easy baskets, take the pressure of him, he needs to go where LBJ goes.

I'd love to have him in a Cavs uniform if they don't overspend on the risk of taking him. Honestly though, I hope wherever he ends up that he can stay healthy and reach even part of his potential. The guy is a very talented player when he is on the floor. It would be nice to see him achieve some of the goals I'm sure he has set for himself. The first being staying healthy for a full season.

Plus, the world-class Cleveland Clinic is there.He's going to need the best medical attention that he can get.

LOL. This is true. And he'll probably spend as much time there as he will at the Q.

If Oden can stay healthy I would love to see him in a Cavs uni but unfortunately I highly doubt he'll make it through 10 games let along the whole season!

Umm his choice is the Heat only. He is not comming to the Cavs. They wont even take his garbage.. but for the fun of it.. the cavs should just offer him a 10 day contract.

Either team is a fool for even entertaining the option of signing a broken down big man with peanut brittle for kness.

Signing him just seems like it would be a waste of $...
