Hi I was just wondering if you guys would want JO back just so he could retire as a Pacer. He said about playing he's last season with the Pacers, even if they are not contending would you guys accept him for the Vets minimum?
- Another question is, do you guys still like Jermaine? I mean he was your franchise player for many years.

If he wants to sign a 10-day contract or a unguaranteed min or something, fine. If he expects to get playing time ahead of Hibbert and Hansbrough, the answer is please, please, please, no.
Jermaine never really took on the franchise role in practice, equal to what Granger is doing now. Granger, though, seems a little closer just because he's been the best player and the vocal leader for longer.

If he could stay healthy I'd love him off the bench to back up Roy.

At this point, I don't know if you can even count on him to be a rotational player given all the injuries. If he wants to come back as big man insurance, sure...but I wouldn't even trust him to be our primary backup center. How many games has he played this year?

as a possible big man coach, yes. as a player, no. He's really nice and professional, it's just he's too fragile to be relied upon.
