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.

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.
