Harrington can play. Harrington has upside. Harrington will be a stud somewhere, why not here?

I believe both teams could consider a deal like this. He is the best of the four.

Logical trading partners:

Boston (Antoine Walker, if the trade is 3-way)
Washington (depending on if Washington gets high lotto pick)
Toronto
Atlanta (Reef A-R)
Clippers
Miami?
Chicago

Indiana aren't logical trading partners unless we're getting back Tinsley somehow.

Keep Juaquin
Steve Francis, Eddie Griffin, Terence Moris, and a future 1st Round Draft Pick

FOR

Jermaine O'Neal, Jamaal Tinsley, and Ron Mercer.

What a dream. Imagine!!!!!! I wish.
First......since Isaiah Thomas was a point guard....maybe he would like Steve Francis. Jermaine O'Neal may be unhappy and wants to leave. He doesn't like being a "bad boy". And maybe he wants to go to the West. After he played Yao......he complimented him....maybe he would like to play with Yao.
Francis could become a great point guard under Isaiah. Eddie Griffin could blossom along with Reggie Miller and Brad Miller and Ron Artest and Terence Morris. And a future 1st round pick. Their team will suffer a bit......maybe to sweeten the deal....we can give them cash...or maybe they want Glen Rice.....to free up some money. Even more money. In the future....Steve Francis, cap money for a star or two, and the 1st round draft pick could be good.
Eddie Griffin is a project but has potential still. They might like him.
Terence Morris is a solid player and may be better than Ron Mercer and definitely cheaper.

We want Jermaine O'Neal because he is a young power forward with a good inside game. He can block shots. He can rebound. He can defend. He's a nice guy.
Jamaal Tinsley is an excellent passer and way better than average ballhandler. He cannot dunk nor do anything spectacular by himself...but he sets people up nicely. He also steals many balls. Tinsley can also shoot inside....and is a DECENT three point shooter.
Ron Mercer is pretty crappy and doesn't fit with us. He would be good for defense...but the main thing is that his contract expires. With him and Glen Rice gone.....that would relieve the Rockets owner of some luxury taxes.....but we woud still be over the cap.

I know I am dreaming. But yeah..........lovely dream.

I would even take someone crappier than Ron Mercer. Give us your worst player...and I'd be happy.

Steve Francis, Eddie Griffin, Terence Morris, a 1st Round Draft Pick PLUS money
FOR
Jermaine O'Neal, Jamaal Tinsley, and their worst player.

Jamaal Tinsley
Cuttino Mobley
James Posey or Steve Smith or Bostjan Nachar or Glen Rice
Jermaine O'Neal
Yao Ming

This brings back great memories. Wow...I wish.

Tinsley would be like....good. He could be a 13ppg, 9apg, 5 rpg, 2 spg, 2 tpg guy.
Mobley.....with Francis gone....we would only have one ballhog! And even though Francis is better......well Jermaine O'Neal baby. Mobley wouldn't have to worry about being a ballhog...he could be a great spot up shooter and slasher....lol.....and something kinda close to Clyde Drexler. I wish.
At small forward position.....we could have James Posey...who would be getting a lot of easy opportunities and still have a bunch of alleyoop dunks with Tinsley. Or we could sign a free agent like Steve Smith as a shooter...for midlevel exception. Or we could start Bostjan Nachbar....who would be PERFECT. I mean it....unless he is really a bust. We still would have Glen Rice as well. And hey! Ron Mercer or whoever else they would like to give us. Mercer can't shoot 3's....so pretty useless. I guarantee that any small forward we have would score 10 ppg with 1 assist and 4 rebounds and 1 steal and 1 turnover per game.
Jermaine O'Neal would be like Charles Barkley...to Hakeem. But better. He is awesome. He can't shoot..but good inside player. Young too. Guaranteed 20ppg, 10 rpg, 2 bpg, and 2 turnovers...
Yao Ming would benefit with Jermaine O'Neal....16 ppg, 7 rpg, 2 bpg, 2apg, 1 tpg.
Jermaine O'Neal and Yao Ming would be one of the best big men combinations ever. I believe so.

Jamaal Tinsley could play about 40 minutes per game...Moochie 8.
Mobley could play 42 minutes per game with Posey backing him and Nachbar or Smith or whoever up. Posey would play 30 minutes per game as a backup. Nachbar or Smith could play 24 minutes per game at small forward. Jermaine O'Neal would play about 40 minutes per game...with a solid Maurice Taylor as a backup. Yao would play about 36 minutes....Cato about 12.

The greatest thing would be that......Jermaine O'Neal and Yao Ming could learn together and be very dominate. They both develop together. Maurice Taylor would also get better. All of our big men would get better. All of our small forwards would learn from each other and get tips and yeah. Steve Smith would be a great addition as a veteran.

Tinsley/Norris
Mobley/Posey/Hawkins
Smith or Nachbar/Posey/Rice
O'Neal/Taylor
Yao/Cato

To continue my dream....

I GUARANTEE we would be one of the top 3 teams in the West. GUARANTEED. Without a doubt.

Pacers would be at least Top 6. In the future.....they could become better.....

Anyways..lol...don't say I am crazy. I know that already.

To continue it more..........

Jermaine O'Neal would be our low post player.
Yao could spend more time in the high post.....where he should be.......and also post up a few times....
Smith would just stay on the wing or corner.
Mobley would be at the other wing or corner...and sometimes ISO.
Tinsley would be the guy who passes or gets an easy layup or makes a simple jumper.

Yao - good defense.
O'Neal - good defense.
Smith or Posey - good defense.
Mobley - good defense.
Tinsley - also good defense.

Only thing I do not know is....Tinsley looks a little KOOCOO. Oh well.

I will end my dream now. Now back to reality.

Steve Francis and Eddie Griffin for Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley.

Steve Francis, Eddie Griffin, and Jason Collier for Jermaine O'Neal, Jamaal Tinsley, and Ron Mercer.

Anyways.....I think the Raptors are better trading partners.

Those are both very interesting.

What's better about the Raptors? You see Alvin Williams and Anotnio Davis as being better than Tinsley/Oneal, or do youjsut think we could get for less? Or different players form Toronto?
