Hard to say. If Im the Pacers, I somehow try to showcase O'Neal, wait, and take the best offer.

Of course, that best case scenario since hes being showcased now and playing like ****.

Funny as this may sound, the team can actually make the playoffs. So the dilemma is do you showcase JO knowing playing him might hamper their chances of winning, or just keep him on the bench, keep paying him, and do whatever it takes to make the playoffs. Dicey!!!

If they could get a decent return, then it would be worth a look obviously. Hes not in the teams future. Although even if they make the playoffs, the Pacers arent contending this year, so might as well try to get as much for JO as they can. They're young. Get rid of JO for young players and continue to build for the future.

I honestly think that Jermaine isn't worth the starting spot anymore. Sure he is better than David Harrison so maybe he can come off the bench. Our current starters are playing so well (Tinsley, Dunleavy, Granger, Murphy, Foster). We got rebounding and all around passing/scoring. If you double team Granger, he can kick it to Murphy for th three. Even Foster is scoring off of jumpshots!! I hope the Pacers start using Jermaine less and less (i.e. <24 mins) and start phasing Diogu in when he comes back. O'Neal just doesn't have the energy he used to, especially on offense. Our new up tempo game shouldn't be stagnated just because of a superstar name.

I haven't watched the past few games, but otherwise, he's been horrible offensively, really hurting the flow. On defense this year, though, he's been outstanding, and this is even without his ability to block shots. The number of charges he's taken this year is insane. If he could just take a more minor role in the offense and let it run through our wing players, I think we'd be fine. His overall presence, though, causes everyone to instinctually dump the ball to him. That and we don't want to pay a guy so much money just to take a few charges.

I want Andrew Bynum again. Something. Another summer or two for Diogu and he could really have a nice offensive post game. We'd just need a big defensive presence and we'd be set.

We can loose without O'neal. Although we should have won.
