Greg Oden will try to resurrect his career with the Miami Heat. Is this a good move for the big man? How will he fare?

I don't see how you can argue that it's a bad move for Oden. He goes to a team where there are 3 other players teams have got to worry about before Oden even enters the picture. He gets a shot to contend for a championship. Now how will he fare? It's hard to ignore the best until he shows that he can stay healthy, you have to feel that the consensus is that he won't play much because he will be hurt. If he stays healthy though, and can give you solid minutes you can pencil the Heat into the finals.
