I'm sick of all the Bird don't like Isiah so he won't make a trade nonsense. If Bird saw a trade that would benefit his team he'd make it. Not sure if this would help the Pacers out, but it'd deffinately help us out.
O'neil is a better defender and his contract expires in 2 years (same year as Marbury, James, and Malik)
I hear you Bro! But you have to take that into consideration sometimes. You're right Bird will take any deal that would better his franchise, but he would certainly demand more from Isiah. But Paxon and Isiah aren't the best of freinds, and they seem to be in talks every season. I mean Bird wouldve considered sending Artest to NY for Frye (which in hindsight wouldve been a sweet deal), so they would work together, but Bird would rather trade Jermaine elsewhere.
But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I mean Jermaine wants to be a Knick, Zach would embrace being a Pacer. I mean if Zach can go to a team where he is the low post focal point, then he can put up 20 and 10 easily. Now neither team becomes The Celtics or The Lakers with this possible move, other players need to be added to make these teams winners.
Would Isiah go after Ron after that move? Like I said before, I'd like to see Tinsley a Knick, is he apart of the trade? Would this trade prolonge Isiah getting fired? I'd see if Sac would take Curry in a deal for Ron if we were to land Oneil'. Maybe play Oneil at center, Lee at PF, and Ron at SF. Ok so I'm once again gettin way ahead, but this could atleast provide some ray of hope for us.....or just another bad trade, is it worth the risk?
