    Greg Oden will host three teams this week as the former No. 1 overall pick nears a decision on where he'll launch his NBA comeback, according to sources with knowledge of the free-agent center's plans.

    Sources told ESPN.com on Monday that the Miami Heat, New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings will all send representatives this week to watch Oden work out in person.

    Sources say that the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks -- which had face-to-face meetings with Oden last week -- also remain in contention for the 7-footer's services. But the Heat and Spurs established themselves as the front-runners to land Oden last month and, according to one source close to the process, remain the co-favorites to sign him.

    ESPN.com reported last week that the Cleveland Cavaliers also were in the mix prior to their signing of center Andrew Bynum.

    Im rooting for Oden

    He really looked like a dominant defensive Center early in his career. Didnt doing anything on offense that justified being picked over Durrant, but looked like a young Mutombo defensively his second year

    Has he even played a total season? I hope he is healed,but I seriously doubt anybody will sign him with his history of injuries.

    Crowned Doesn't give a shit.

    I don't get why all 30 teams wouldn't put in a minimum offer. It's low risk, high reward. If the Heat get him and he finally can stay healthy watch out.
