According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Heat are going to be looking to replace Greg Oden and there are still some pretty solid options on the market for replacing Oden on the roster.

"The Heat likely will add another veteran center at the minimum to replace Oden, but it has to be someone who’s content with not playing much.Among those still available: Elton Brand, Andray Blatche (Heat has avoided him before because of maturity, behavior issues), Charlie Villanueva, Ryan Hollins, Ekpe Udoh, Byron Mullins, Greg Stiesma and Andrew Bynum (who can’t stay healthy).Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2014/08/thursday-notes-um-dolphins-camp-tidbits-details-on-odens-arrest.html#storylink=cpyRead more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2014/08/thursday-notes-um-dolphins-camp-tidbits-details-on-odens-arrest.html#storylink=cpy"

Oden was looking like he might be able to fit into the Heat this season but he’s now fumbled that plan away thanks to his incident off the court that involved the police. There might still be a chance that Oden gets something done with the Heat, but there are far better options on the market and it’s looking like Oden is done in South Beach.
