Some of these posts are rediculous. Oneal would improve the interior D by a million percent.
You can't improve ANY defense when you're out injured.
where are we headed if we stand pat bro? think about it... nothing's gonna change unless we make moves to make it so... this trade isn't taking on any extra years in salary, so how does it really hurt us? no one's suggesting we give up a D Lee or a draft pick here... if the Pacers wanna unload him that badly we can certainly accomodate... there aren't exactly many requests coming our way for Zach's services as it is, not that he's a crappy player, let me make that clear before the Zach brigade comes crashing down on me for bashing the guy.
hell, if JO doesn't play it can even help us in the long run... not only would we be able to get rid of that last year on Zach's contract, we also would see D Lee starting games for a change like he should be doing in the first place & God knows not many of us are really opposed to that... also could mean a better pick in the lottery, but hey, what do i know? we can keep trying to add offensive players who play no D & hope we can sneak into that 9th slot in the lottery next season.

I guess it makes sense TMS, the year less on his contract is pretty big. I hate J'Oneal and he never plays but I guess you're right that could be a good thing since we'd lose more this season. We need that high lotto pick bad.
