Heat Interested in Greg Oden

Anou Enright December 5, 2011 Rumors No Comments on Heat Interested in Greg Oden

We may never know what Greg Oden could have been, thanks to the multitude of injuries he has sustained in his short career thus far. The biggest need for the Miami Heat last year was a presence down low. Is Oden worth the risk for them?

The Heat are considering making a run at restricted free agent Greg Oden, league sources said. Oden, who hasn’t played in nearly two years after suffering two different knee injuries, has a key doctor’s examination this week when he could be cleared to resume contact practices.

Oden has a one-year qualifying offer from the Portland Trail Blazers for $8.9 million on his plate at the moment. The most the Heat could offer is the bulk of the $5 million mid-level exception.
