Re: O' Neal to Bulls? "Looking ahead to summer dealsThere still are games to be played and a title to be decided, but Sports Illustrated already is looking ahead at potential moves this summer.One blockbuster: Indiana Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal going to Chicago for guard Kirk Hinrich and the New York Knicks' unprotected lottery pick, which was received in the Eddy Curry trade. The magazine had a picture of O'Neal in a Bulls' home uniform wearing his No. 7. It wouldn't be surprising if O'Neal's name is mentioned in trade rumors this summer if the Pacers don't have a successful playoff run.Pacers rookie forward Danny Granger also was mentioned, but in a positive way. Granger is one of five players listed for a breakthrough in the second half of the season."Any thoughts?I think this would be pretty nice if they included someone else with Hinrich. The Knicks draft pick would be awesome because it probably would be the first overall. We could draft someone like Adam Morrison or my boy JJ Redick!
Re: O' Neal to Bulls? I wouldnt do it if i was paxson. Oneal does get hurt alot. A lil to much. Kirk is the team leader. One of the best Pg's out there now. And they to trade a draft pick with him.. I wouldnt do it. Im sure paxson is smart enough to see that oneal does get hurt alot and trys to get some one else.

Trade Jermain O'Neal for Kirk Hinrich and J.J. Redick and have nothing inside and be average! Yay!
Re: O' Neal to Bulls? Well if the bulls got the 1st pick why would they taje J.J. They can find someone. But i dont wanna do that deal
Re: O' Neal to Bulls? Why would the pacers want Hinrich and JJ when they already have stephen jackson,danny granger,fred jones,sarunas,and jamal tinsley?

I remember when people would say Grant Hill is still the best SF in the game, he's just injured.
Re: O' Neal to Bulls? Jermaine is one of the best PF games.What is the point to trade him.We got a great team and dont need Kirk Hinrich we got Jamaal Tinsley,Anthony Johnson and the future Sarunas.J.The Pacers are a deep team now and when J.o comes along we will probally be top 3 in the NBA.

Unless Kirk has some breakout year of like 20/10 I wouldnt trade him for JO if i was Pacers GM, but who knows? I've seen worse moves made.
Re: O' Neal to Bulls? it's kinda dumb for Indiana to trade him, but they could get an incredible package for Jermaine O'Neal, also he's been there a while and that solid nucleus Indiana once had is gone. No more Artest, jamall tinsley is always injured, stephen jackson had a great playoffs last year but he's still shooting poorly, Peja's a one-dimensional basketball player, that team just doesn't look good in Indiana, they need to try something new.
