What is JO's value? (sending him to Miami)

Would Indy do something like this?

Indiana trades: Jermaine O'Neal
Miami trades: Dorrell Wright (young), Ricky Davis (expiring), Jason Williams (expiring), future 1st (can't trade this year's)

Why for Indy: Cuts costs plus gives them two strong pieces for the future
Why for Miami: This would greatly improve the interior D and allow them to trade Haslem for a scorer on the outside.

I assume the Pacers have no interest in Haslem.

Pacers already have Granger who is better than Wright. The 1st being extended out a year or 2 doens't help them either. The package will have to be a bit better to peak their interest.

I don't really want JO in Miami. He's not what we need. We already have one washed up bigman. Do we really need another?

I would say JO, Harrison, Graham and Wade's MU buddy Diener for Williams, Davis, Parker, Wright, Cook and a future 1st (Trade ID #4386388) would be fair.

I'm not sure either side would bite, though...

I never said any certain name...

...btw, have you heard that old Cat Stevens hit? Man, it's a great song. Something about this thread reminded me of it...

Nah, I'm just giving you grief!

Since when is JO washed up? Have you actually watched a Pacers game or just looked at stats?

Anyway, Pacers pass. This trade down grades just about every position.

You assume wrong :wink:

Without JONeal...we would be dependant on Murphy, Diogu, Foster and Harrison to man the PF/C rotation. Unfortunately, the last 3 ( Diogu, Foster and Harrison ) haven't proven to be very healthy as of late. If JONeal is moved....we would need a solid Big Man who can rebound, provide solid defense and score in the Low-Post.

I would consider the following:

Indy Out:

- JONeal+Deiner+Graham

Miami Out:

-JWill+Earl Barron+Blount+Cook

or

-JWill+Earl Barron+Haslem+Dorell Wright
