Greg Oden hasn't played in an NBA game in two years, but teams are showing plenty of interest in the former No. 1 pick. The Heat, Mavericks, Celtics and the Cavaliers are reportedly among the teams most interested. While Oden won't make his return to the court until next season, he may sign with a team this season so that he can continue the rehab process under the watchful eye of NBA doctors.

Oden's agent, Mike Conley, has insisted that Oden is 100 percent and a future All-Star. Oden is currently taking classes at Ohio State, and while he's expected to sign with a team this season, it'd be for continued rehabilitation purposes only. He plans to actually play games next season. And with the way things are going, he will indeed be back in the league.
Oden was picked No. 1 by the Portland Trail Blazers back in 2007, but will be just 25 years old when next season begins. He has had three micro-fracture surgeries on his knees.
Between being drafted in 2007 and waived by Portland in 2012, Oden appeared in 82 games while making 60 starts. He has career averages of 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
