Yahoo/Sportsnet: J. O

[wtfbosh]

Noooo...I want them to keep the pick! Oh well, at least this is better than Robin Lopez.

man if o'neal is healthy and can give us at least 2 season of 16-10-2 with decent D, i'd **** my pants, or if he is really really really healthy and wants to go out in style, he coudl do the 20-10-2.5 type numbers

[vaff87]

Here's hoping it doesn't happen.

OMG OMG OMG OMG

as a diehard raptor fan first and foremost (please if you have anything to say about my love for TJ, kill urself cuz it doesnt apply)...i do not like this trade BC. sorry bud. add this to a now growing list of mistakes or difference in opinions I've had with him (wanted aldridge over bargs, was the biggy).

it looks all fine and dandy now, but it leaves us USELESS for the next 2 years. this is really a short-time fix and i'm appauled he cannot see this. or he DOES see this and thinks its a great PR/fanbase move that will get us to the 2nd round at least. i'm just kinda upset. i would much rather get a swingman and draft a C...but now we're doing the opposite which is FINE, but losing the draft pick which could net us that swingman.

another 2 years of mediocrity from the 2/3...i hope i'm wrong on this obviously.

im so excited

[|llsT oNe]

Disappointed we gave the pick.

[Shak23]

I LIKE

[positivetension]

If this goes through, I am going to be VERY excited for next season. Not sure it will work out but it's an interesting move.

[Shak23]

now we can use the MLE on a wing... Pietrus anyone?

[Geddy]

Too bad there isn't a way to get good Joey in the trade so we could make a Graham tag team

[evilRyu]

Aww man. I hope BC goes and gets another pick in another trade.

+1
been looking forward to this draft for way too long..... plus, i hate adding the pick in the trade.. i hope Indy at least throws a future 1st or SOMETHING

[Justina]

OMG IM SO DAMN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

This is just what we needed!!!!!!!! I HEART BC!!!!

[mappiah19]

Yahoo source is 90% legit.

[notagenius]

it doesnt work thouhg so how can it be completed in hours i dont get it. Has to be july 1st when tjs BYC is gone

they will probably just announce the trade but officially send it to league offices after july 1st

[Vinsane15]

Im not a huge fan of this trade, JO isnt the shot blocker like he was during his eary years in Indy, but he can be that go to guy in the end of games. He is 100x better than Robin Lopez even on one knee. I fully expect BC to get a late 1st or 2nd round pick somehow to pick up pur young swingman...

[Tomato]

If this trade doesn't pan out, it's total rebuild mode me thinks.

[Guy Smiley]

If true then things better go absolutely perfectly or else Shaazzam will have some explaining to do.

2.3 average vs 2.1 last year ain't that 'far' off..

[TrueNorthStrong]

Worst deal ever.
