The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
I think if the Blazers wanted to they could swing a deal for him. Indy needs to almost start over and get some expireing contracts.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
There is no freaking way I'd trade LaMarcus Aldridge for Jermaine O'Neal. LaMarcus will be the perfect compliment to Greg Oden's rugged inside game. O'Neal is too injury prone, too much of a prima-dona, and LaMarcus will be a better player to boot. Now, if we could get Jermaine for cheap, and if he would be content to be the 3rd wheel in a 3-man rotation, that would be sweet. But his history (demanding a trade from the Blazers because he was behind Sheed) says he would not.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
 to anyone who even thinks trading LA for Jermaine is a little bit of a good idea.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
Jermaine O'Neal is not the answer.
Neither is trading away LaMarcus Aldridge.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
if we for a second hinted that LA was available even in a package with raef or miles we'd be flooded with offers that were a lot better than JO lol. LA is highly coveted around the league by running teams lacking mobile bigs like chicago or GS. i'm sure the suns would be absolutely drooling if he were on the market. if you're gonna trade LA + salary think more along the lines of deng/nocioni, ellis/beidrins etc. or better yet lets just keep him, since he's one of the top 10 young players in the entire league.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
I was about to chime in and say that I'd love to have O'neal back if a good deal came our way, then I saw the poll question had us giving up Lamarcus and I laughed hysterically.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
it's more likely that clemens is innocent than that the blazers would trade LA for JO

Something like that. But at the same time, there is something in my gut telling me that Pritchard might rather have Frye. He seems to be pretty particular about what kinds of ingredients go into his 'cake.'

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
Jermaine sucks now, don't trade anyone for him. Keep building what you are building. With the recent trades, the Mavs and Suns window will be closing awfully fast. In a few years, the Blazers will be a superpower in the West and be worth hating again.

Re: The Pacers are shoping Jermaine O'Neal around...
It would be Jermaine for Dale Davis all over again. Except now Jermaine is Dale.
There is absolutely no freaking way we would do this. Not a chance.
