Greg Oden leaning toward Cleveland
08:04 AM ET 02.13 | Seven-footer Greg Oden dominated the college game at Ohio State, and returning to the state may be among his options in his NBA comeback attempt. Sources said over the weekend Oden has been leaning toward the Cavs all along. If true, it would make good sense. They're the only NBA team located in the state where he played his college ball, and he has a large and supportive following in Cleveland because of it. Oden also likes the notion of playing on the same team as Kyrie Irving -- and considers the Cavs' reigning Rookie of the Year the type of dynamic young point guard that could help jumpstart Oden's rebirth, sources said. ... Sources indicated Oden is likely to try to find the best situation in a variety of areas. That includes not just money.
