    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"We're a very average team right now," O'Neal said. "We're going to be average until we decide as players that we want to win and do the right things we're supposed to do to win. If we don't do it, we're going to mingle around .500, get in the playoffs and then be out.

    "If I can't take this team to another level, I truthfully believe we should go our separate ways at the end of the season," said O'Neal, who added his first choice is to remain with the Pacers.</div>

    Would you guys want him in Orlando? I would give up Grant Hill and some others for him.

    Care to elaborate? I don't think Darko is going to cut it as Dwight's front court partner so why not upgrade?

    Maybe if Jermaine's knees weren't made of pudding, and his heart made of ice cream

    My thoughts exactly.

    We'd be giving up Grant Hill for him so is it really any different? [​IMG] If he stays healthy we're contenders.

    hill+darko+diener

    for

    o'neal+armstrong+williams

    would you do it...we get a vet PG in DA who would more than welcome a return to orlando to help jameer out a little more, a proven big man who would form the twin towers and immediately make us contenders, and another young forward with potential (see ariza), for an expiring in hill (good trade bait), a young big man who has shown nothing but dissappointment this year, but could turn it around with a change of scenario, and a guy who has a deadly three point shot and could turn out to be a big PG addition for the pacers (he's big amongst the fans, but we're getting someone bigger with the fans in DA)...would you guys do it

    I'm not really for trading Grant but to get Jermaine O'neal, I would do it in a second He would be a major upgrade over Darko.

    Yeah well Hill is a big part of our team, but I bet O'Neal would make us instant contenders

    Uh, yes it would be a lot different. You want a short term solution in exchange for long term progress. Newb

    What long term progress are we giving up? I said I'd give up Grant Hill and others for him. When I said others I meant people like Diener, Redick, Fran's rights, or things like that. I'm not saying we give up someone like Darko or Ariza for him.
