Any interest in Greg Oden?

[PaceRam]

Just curious if the Hawks have any interest in Greg Oden. It seems like I have seen rumors on several other teams showing Interest in Oden but not much about the Hawks.

[Buzzard]

Of course I have interest in Oden but just like Bynum, I would want a all out physical and a workout.

No, he is to brittle. I would literally only give him the min and he is not going to sign for that

[IllestPamfilis]

No way man. Might as well sign me up and put me at the 5, and I'm 5-9 160.

[Vol4ever]

Oden is broken and not worth anything IMO.

[kerrypack]

grant hill was broken also. I'd have to think he's a bad risk, though

Huge difference I heart of hill and oden and hill was healthy for a while. Oden never has been.

[Ruckus]

He's only as much of a risk (or less) as Bynum was and everyone wanted Bynum. Oden would be less money. I would at least want him to get an official medical evaluation. A HawkSquawk health report doesn't mean much to me. No offense.

[LamarHampton]

Didn't want Bynum and don't want Greg 'No Leg' Oden. Ferry doesn't seem like he wants to gamble on major health risks and I agree with the approach.

I found this online:

Former Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas said he's been working out with ex-Portland center Greg Oden.

"Man, he looks unbelievable," he said at the draft combine. "He's running. He's lifting weights. You might be seeing a comeback. He looks like he's ready to go. He's running, getting in shape. I'll tell you one thing. For a big 7-footer that's all he does, running and getting in shape. He's looking right."

Thomas said Oden is working out at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Indianapolis.

I don't know how credible the source is but I wouldn't give anything more than vet minimum for a year.

I'd just want to see his asking price

This is one I would take a chance on, as long as the price is right. It sounds as though he has a better attitude than Bynum.

If it was vet min who cares? Bring him in.

But I wouldnt take Deshauns opinion. 0%. Hes an Ohio State guy. Of course he is going to try and get his alumni brother a job.

Confirming for my Atlanta Hawks peoples, the team has not shown any interest in bringing in the former No. 1 pick http://po.st/snIePX
