thats too much for jermaine, we should just trade up for rondo and keep frye... rebuild to the future...real young

Jermaine is a distraction in my opinion. He's always hurt but he also is constantly involved in some kind of scuffle. He does a lot of talking and boasting during the game. He likes to be physical but can't take it when guys push him back. I personally can't stand him.

u dont think rondo will crack the roster

I'd like us to stay homegrown. If anything lets trade up in the draft. Lets devise a developmental system of our own. Last year our big youth program was Sweets and Ariza. One year later they're both gone.

Jermaine is just another guy who's not showing up and a franchise is about to give up on. Isiah always thinks he's gonna bring out the best in a player but it sure hasn't been working like that here. Lets find some success with our own guys before we continue trying to reclaim those who don't work out elsewhere.

That said, if you can get him for expiring contracts be my guest. Isiah can, has, and will do a lot worse with them.

I would be open to it. The picks dont mean much to me. I think we have some good young guys in Lee, Nate, Jackie and even QWoods. Factor in Crawford and QRich and its not an old team.

Oneil isnt injury prone over his career. This year has obviously been rough for him, and last year he was suspended, but before then he had a string of 4 years or so of 70+ games. I dont see this as a McDyess type gamble. I would be more inclined to go the homegrown route if I thought we could draft a guy like JO, but its hard to see that happening. I would rather just for now however. These deals cost more now than they do at the deadline. Our #1 priority should be moving Marbury, JJ and Mo Taylor. I'm just looking to save money. If I can get back expiring contracts or some expiring contracts that I can just buyout I'm open to it. Dump this starphuck business model. Larry is showing from these last 3 games its not worth it and it doesnt work. I hope he keeps it up for that sake alone

Unless the Pacers want to go in complete rebuilding mode, I just don't understand why they would even want to trade JO. He's done everything he could for them and seems to have a great attitude. It's the guys they surround him with that need to change. Peja was a step, but the injuries definitely have ruined that.

The more I think of it and let it sink in, the more I realize just how much of a scumbag Artest really is.

interesting results.

the thing is, despite what we think, IF jermaine becomes available, isiah and lb will pack frye's back and personally drive him to the airport. same goes for kg.
