  • Heat Sign Greg Oden

    Y! SPORTS



    MIAMI (AP) -- Greg Oden still needs some time to get ready for the rigors of playing in the NBA.

    He no longer needs a new team, however.

    The former No. 1 overall draft pick has chosen to sign with the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat, ending months of suspense over where the center whose career has been decimated by a series of knee problems would be attempting his comeback. The Heat were long perceived as the frontrunners to land Oden, and now have a 7-footer to help them try for a third straight title.

    Mike Conley Sr., one of Oden's agents, said Friday night that the former Portland center accepted an offer worth about $1 million for this coming season and would have a player option for 2014-15.

    ''He just thought that it was the best fit for him, where he's at and especially for how it relates to him coming back,'' Conley said. ''He can be on a winning team and be working his way in slowly.''

    The contract is expected to be formally signed early next week, Conley said.
