Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail BlazersJermaine O'Neal, former MVP candidate of the Pacers, is hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers, according to BenMaller.com NBA moles. O'Neal played the first four years of his pro career with the Blazers and still makes his offseason home in Portland. Jermaine is set to make $18 million dollars in 2006-07, the Blazers could deal Theo Ratliff ($11.6 Mil) and Darius Miles ($7.7 Mil) to Indiana to match up salaries.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers I dont believe this. I don't believe that someone like Jermaine O'neal would rather play on the jailblazers then a legit playoff team. I wont believe this unless you can find me a quote.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers He knows the Pacers aren't a threat and he probiliy wants a new scenary.Weird though.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Kinda intesting. Right back where he started him NBA career at. Idk why Pacers would do this. I know they are going down hill, but you still should keep your star
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Wow, this is unexpected but maybe he could make the blazers a playoff team again. Theyve got some good young talented players like telfair and webster so it might be a good move for O'Neal
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Yeah it doesn't sound like he would do that. Maybe it is false.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers If JO goes to the Blazers they will definately be going in the right direction. Maybe if they can get rid of Miles, Ratliff and Randolph they could be a future playoff team. They got Sebby who has nice pg skills and is fresh off the NYC concrete, Martell who is said to be a decent shooter. And if they get Adam Morrison in the draft they could be a very good team in the future.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers How could you possibly believe this? It makes no sense to me. If he wanted a trade out of Indiana because he felt they weren't close to competing for a championship, then why would he want to be traded to a team that is even further away from competing for a championship instead of being traded to a team that is closer to competing?Not to mention that I believe the site it is coming from has a history of making up and spreading false rumors.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Well if he does go to the blazers im fine with it, as long as he is out West, and we don't have to worry about him. But i highly doubt he will be going to Portland.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers i don't believe this one bit. Why would he leave a contending team for the Trailblzers? Not only are they one of the worst teams in the league, they didn't even give him a chance when he was younger.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers I don't believe it. And even if it were true, JO would not come out and discuss that with anybody unless they are Bird or Walsh, privately. He is not gunna say that and make it public, especially in the middle of a playoff series.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Randolph and O'neal? watch out they'd kick ass!!but stephen Jackson and D miles? disaster warning.
Re: Jermaine O'Neal hoping for a trade to the Trail Blazers Somebody accually wants to go the the Blazers? Whats this world coming to
