This is basically screwing both the Raps and OKC. Toronto gets another soft three point shooter, and a soft big, a below average SG and a 55th pick. We get a player basically retired and a decent three point shooter and a 29th pick.

Yeah there is no chance of this. If your Cleveland of course you do this but the other two have no business doing it. The Cavs already have like 4 big guys that get decent time so would there be enough for O'Neal?

Cleveland gets the better of the deal. But Wally's contract expiring can mean some free agent signings for 2009 off season.

So from OKCs point of view its

Mason
Wilkins
Collison

Snow
Pavlovic
probably about the 28th pick in the draft

Yeah... no

I really don't see that, with the leadership he brings and the local connection, how the Thunder could justify trading Mason. He doesn't have too much value beyond that of an expiring contract, yet he is one of the fav players of many Thunder fans, and is one of the few guys on the team to bring some fire to the Ford Center.
