Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said Friday that Indiana's roster was virtually locked. When asked whether it was safe to say O'Neal would be a Pacer at the start of the season, Walsh said: "Yes, it is. That's the way we're thinking of it." Walsh didn't rule out a trade completely, but he never does. "Trades can always come up, but in our minds, Jermaine is here and our team's intact," Walsh told The Associated Press. SI.com / August 24

He even offered that the Pacers aren't receiving calls about O'Neal any more. "That's done," Walsh said. O'Neal averaged 19.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 2006-07, one of the best seasons of his 11-year career. But the Pacers went 35-47 and missed the playoffs for the first time in 10 years.

^^If a deal for O'Neal will take place, it'll be mid-season...

Antonio_:
^ Or the next season. When we could possibly get him without trading Odom & Bynum.

wcsoldier:
^^^^ If JO cares about winning , he can take the 9 Millions we'll have (end of Kwame contract) but I doubt he's willing to lose more than half of his salary

Now_Im_Not_Banned:
I see it like this...we're in good shape-

If the roster doesn't gel and we don't look good by the trade deadline, we can always make a trade then. Trading now takes away the option of trying out what we currently have, which actually is looking nice to me...

people are forgetting:

Luke
Bynum
Farmar
Evans
Radman
Turiaf

will all be drastically improved this season with an added valuable season of tri experience.


then you got the additions of:

Fisher
Mihm
Crittenton
Karl


and the subtractions of:

Smush
McKie
Shammond


Re-vamped:
Kwame
Luke
Odom
Evans
Radman
Turiaf

Leaving us with a roster of:

PG Derek Fisher...Jordan Farmar/Javaris Crittenton
SG Kobe Bryant...Mo Evans/Sasha Vujacic
SF Luke Walton...Vladimir Radmanovic/Coby Karl
PF Lamar Odom...Ronny Turiaf/Brian Cook
C Andrew Bynum...Kwame Brown/Chris Mihm

I'm not mad.



Andrew Bynum=Most improved player of the year.

Vladimir Radmanovic=6th man of the year.

Javaris Crittneton=All-rookie team.

Coby Karl=Free agent steal of the year.

Chris Mihm=Comeback of the year.

Derek Fisher=Sportsmanship of the year.

Kwame Brown=breakthough season (ala 2006 2nd half)

Phil Jackson=Coach of the year.

Kobe=MVP.


Not mad at all. ;D
