From Sam Smith (Chicago Tribune)
Pacers general manager Larry Bird is putting the pressure on Jermaine O'Neal and leaving open the possibility of major changes. "We'll find out right away whether he can handle it or not," Bird said. "If he can't handle it, we'll have to find somebody else. But I'm very confident that Jermaine, every year, matures more and more. Some players like that pressure. Some can't handle it." The Pacers, though, are concerned about the potential of returning high-strung personalities Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jamaal Tinsley.
Watch out, Larry.
Pop the whip too much on Jermaine and he'll play the racist card, or punch you out.

Why should O'Neal believe a single word Bird says?
He's already proven he'll tell him a bald-faced lie any time it suits his purpose (c.f., Isiah).

rasho,barry and picks for oneal
would pacers and lakers do a deal to get oneal in la
or would wolves trade kg for oneal
the other thing is would pacers trade sj for barry
according to the article they do not want sj,artest and tinsley are on the same team
barry could run backup point for tinsely
not saying I would want sj back for sj lovers it could happen
