There are ongoing discussions concerning a four-team trade that could send Indiana Pacers forward/center Jermaine O'Neal to the Boston Celtics, according to league sources. But those same sources said that it is extremely unlikely that O'Neal will ever play in a Boston uniform.

Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge has never been a big fan of O'Neal's, and there remains the not-so-small matter of O'Neal being able to opt out of his contract after next season.

You know what else could hold it up? Pacers' Exec Donnie Walsh claiming to know nothing about said proposal.

O'Neal is desperate to get out of Indiana. With Pierce, Szczerbiak and all them role players, Boston isn't a terrible fit. It's not like Ainge is the coach.
