I dont want to see JO in Toronto, and Im pretty sure that aint gona happen anyway....When you have the #1 pick, there bound to be many rumors flying around.  But yea, Im happy they signed up Charlie V, hes the man!  Why do we need JO when we have Bosh, Charlie and either Bargnani or Aldrige?


Jermaine O'Neal is a center, while Bosh is most comfortable at the 4...The trade isn't less likely to happen just because they exercised their option...Charlie V. is now signed for longer for a cheap price (since the option has been exercised by the team that drafted him). His trade value just went up...PeACe


JO can play center cause hes versatile and does play center at times but only cause our injury's, JO is a PF thats where he is comfortable.


He might be more comfortable playing at the 4, it's obviously easier to dominate smaller players, but he's a center, he is listed as a center-forward, not a forward-center...I think a front-court of Chris Bosh and Jermaine O'Neal would be amazing...PeACe

If the Pacers are healthy which they probably wont be then he will be at the 4 all year long.  Yes I agree a front court of CB AND JO would be great!


With the direction the NBA is heading, he's much better suited to play center...Kwame Brown is listed as a forward-center, and he will likely be our starting center next year...O'Neal has been at the 5 spot for most of his career...PeACe

Dude im not trying to argue with you on purpose but JO is my favorite NBA player and believe me since he has been a Pacer he's been at the PF at leas 80% of the time.


It's not up for debate like Kirilenko vs. Odom...LOL. He's a center first.

C-F...See?

Well he plays PF more and when people rate JO they compare him to other 4's otherwise he'd be known as the best center in the league cause hes better now than shaq and better than yao and ben wallace.


Alright, I know he likes being a power forward, but he's still naturally a center. His game fits the perfect example of a center, especially a center nowadays...Garnett and Nowitzki are more like small forwards, I honestly think it's better to compare Jermaine O'Neal with Yao Ming than with Nowitzki or Garnett...PeACe
