There are several articles confirming that the Pacers are in talks with several teams about O'Neal, Isiah is said to love O'Neal, O'Neal is said to be willing to come to NY, and at least one NY player said that he thought O'Neal would be a good fit. So it's not just in my mind.
No insult to you Knicklover, I wrote the same thing in other Knick Forums and Indiana Forums that Posted this rumor.
Larry Bird knew a year after signing Jermain O'Neal (and Firing Isiah) that O'Neal was poison for the Indiana Lockerroom. Bird tried to work it out with O'Neal by stretching his neck out for just one player after the Detroit Brawl which was J.O'Neal. He even shopped and traded Ron Artest for peremeter shooting Peja to help J.O'Neal. And when that didn't help but make things more unpleasent in the Indiana Lockerroom Bird had to trade Steve Jackson whom was tired of the Indiana organization Pampering to J.O'Neal.
All of this CRAZYNESS in the Indiana organization was done because of the FIRING of Isiah Thomas, and Jermain O'Neal LUV for Isiah & Aquire.
Dolan maybe slow in knowledge of the NBA, but he know that putting J.Oneal in a Knick uniform means keeping Isiah Thomas as a Head Coach & G.M. for another Spoil Brat NBA player J.O'Neal (Marbury).
Plus the most important thing is Larry Bird would RAPE the 14-36 Isiah Thomas Knicks Organization so bad that you would have to FIRE Isiah Thomas within a week of that trade. And No Isiah means Jermain O'Neal is worthless.
Now do you get the point.
Ron Artest could make the Knicks a Better Team with either BUM Bigman still on it Curry or Zach. J.O'Neal is another Isiah selfish player on offense but he does play defense when he is not injured.
