NY & Indy idea, Randolph for O'Neal...

NY gets:
Jermaine O'Neal

Indy gets:
Zach Randolph, Fred Jones

Neither big man is thriving anymore. Maybe a change of scenery would be good for both.

Indy laughs NY right off the phone. Awful deal for the Pacers.

How about NY sends their next 3 first round draft picks? Then we would gladly take Randolph off your hands for JO.

That's a really awful deal. Indy has no interest in either Eddy Curry or Zach Randolph.

Also, I'm sick of everyone saying JO isn't good anymore. He is still injury prone. But his skill is still there. Watch a game, he is a force on defense still. On offense we simply don't ask him to be the only option like he was in the past. Both our teams scoring and rebounded are a lot higher than they have been in previous years. Its our system that is decreasing JO's numbers, not his skill level.

Assuming you can get Isiah & Larry talking, the discussion would go like this:

Isiah - I'll give you zach for Jermaine.

Larry - throw in your unprotected first round pick.

Isiah - No.

both of them hang up the phone.

And the Pacers take two extra years of a guy who toally doesn't fit their system.

Jermaine O'Neal is worth more than Zach Randolph but not by nearly as much as Pacer fan would have us believe.

Pacers went from not taking anything less than Bynum and Odom to dealing with Randolph and Fred Jones.

Sad.
