    I don't see them beating memphis with their soft front line. They don't have backups for the bigs. They don't play defense either

    Would be happy if Morey sign Jermaine and he stay healthy for half a season.

    Howard/O'Neal
    Motiejunas/TJones
    Ariza/Pap
    Harden/Brewer
    Beverley/Terry

    This is championship material roster. We could even make a move like Shved+TJones+picks (incl. NO) and get a star to start as power-forward. The reason we would trade TJones instead of DMo is that Motiejunas can back-up Howard if Jermaine gets injurie.

    I'd take o'neal just to troll cubes and screw their bench.

    I hope he goes to the Cavs. But if not them, anybody but Dallas.

    Dallas really needs another big after they traded Wright. I still think O'Neal could provide decent minutes. But you are crazy if you think acquiring him is what it will take to push them over the top.

    Jameer Nelson took his time to choose a team too. Look how that turned out.

    If whichever team signs him can get better by trading him they'll do it in a split second. Jermaine needs to go after the money.
