who would you trade for j oneal?

It's his age. Jermaine has been part of a great defensive team. O'Neal will be 28 next season, Rasheed 32. 32 isn't old, but with Ben Wallace and Antonio McDyess the same age, I'd love to have a young buck the same age as Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton to set the clock back a little and extend the Pistons run. No doubt that Jermaine O'Neal won't spread the floor with his shooting, but he will if he passes out of the post. He'd be a more willing back-to-the-basket threat than Rasheed with just as much talent and effort on defense. Injuries are a problem, but they were with McDyess when he got here. The Pistons medical staff would check him out before the trade.

If there's an argument to be made against this it's that Rasheed is a smarter basketball player.

Please man ...........

Pistons before 'Sheed = Swept by NJ
Pistons after 'Sheed = Bling! + 4 minutes removed from Bling! x 2

What has Jermaine O'Neal done for the Pacers other than run his mouth?

Rasheed Wallace is a better defender
Rasheed Wallace is a better shooter
Rasheed Wallace has more B-ball IQ
Rasheed Wallace isn't tryin' to be the faux leader of the Pistons
Rasheed Wallace isn't lazy
And if you think Rasheed Wallace doesn't know when to go down on the low post and bang, ask Tim Duncan. Against Jermaine O'Neal in the Finals, Tim Duncan would drop 30ppg & 15rb.

Not to mention, Ben Wallace wouldn't tolerate him, and Dumars wouldn't take him because he has no Piston DNA.

If I were Wolves I would be shopping Garnett for J O'Neal

I actually did this trade in a Mock GM game two years ago. I was killed for trading Sprewell and KG for Anthony Johnson, Croshere, and Jermaine.

Dude, I wouldn't trade Antonio McDyess for Jermaine O'Neal.

JO = Jack Off!

That's the running punch to a fat Pistons fan talking. He's a solid 20-10-2 guy who is young enough to be the option we thought Darko would be.
