Sources that spoke with Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune, say Jermaine O'Neal already has told the Pacers he wants to be traded to the Knicks and former Pacers coach and close friend Isiah Thomas. </div>


Yep!!! I told you all

 

WHAT? I thought a player like Jermaine would want to win...


haha jk. dont get mad.

 

I dont get it. Isiah is one of the worst coaches and GM's in the league. Jermaine just wants to go to New York because he's friends with Thomas? That sounds kinda stupid and i dont know if i believe this rumor. If I'm Indiana i would never do this trade, unless their goal is to tank next season and hopefully get OJ Mayo or something. Indiana has tradable pieces and they can get a lot better than what New York would offer.

 

You can't knock Isaih's drafts though.
This rumor seems farfetched I'm going to wait to see it confirmed

 

Jermaine can opt out, right?

 

I don't really believe the Knicks have much to offer that the Pacers would be interested in.

 

What are the Pacers interested in?

I was messing around with the trade checker and found that

Malik Rose
Quentin Richardson
David Lee
Channing Frye

for

Jermaine O'Neal

works out fine. I think that's a pretty good trade. Of course there mioght be some minor tweaks such as second round picks or expendable rookies and/or young players.

 

Hell Yeah!! I want to keep David Lee though and have Jermaine play center.

 

There's no one on the Pacers roster Isiah would trade for other than Jermaine O'Neal.

 

they said that we would have to include our pick which we going to get from the bulls.

 

Doesn't really matter... who in this draft after 4 or so has the potential to be better than O'Neal?

David Lee has to go IMO. A Channing Frye, Malik Rose, and Quentin Richardson package isn't attractive by all means

 

I can see Curry jacking up 3's and O'neal cleaning them up.

 

Don't get too excited there Knicks fans, its just a rumor. Guarantee O'Neal comes out tomorrow denying it. That's how these things play out.

 

That would be a good trade except I want the Knicks to keep David Lee.

 

I would Offer Francis.Jeffries,Richardson,Frye or draft picks
That can put the Pacers on the map

No way in hell the Pacers make that trade. They would be taking back way too much salary. Francis gets paid 15 million a year with 3 years remaining on his contract. Quentin Richardson gets paid 6 million a year with 3 years remaining on his contract. Jared Jeffries gets paid 5 million a year with 3 years left on his contract. No way in the hell the Pacers take on three over-paid players in return for Jermaine O'Neal.

 

Out of all the teams, he chooses the lowly knicks.

He's good friends with Coach Thomas

Out of all the crappy places to live in the U.S., he chooses one of the decent ones.......
