Greg Oden will not be asked to score for the Heat. Coming in, his role is clearly defined. After three consecutive trips to the Finals, the Miami Heat roster works, even though it’s flawed.
But Oden is supposed to rid the club of that flaw by adding size in the frontcourt. In his first comment since Oden joined the team, LeBron James more or less said as much.
“Adding Greg is a huge piece for us but we’re not asking too much from him, we’re not going to put too much pressure on him,” James said. “He hasn’t played since 2009, so it’s been awhile. We just want him to work his way back into condition. Whatever he gives us is extra.”
