Reposted on: 28.8.10 1636.09 | Well, the Pacers aren't going to be so hot if Jermaine O'Neal (or should I say, the betrayed Jermaine O'Neal) actually demands to be traded ... Well, it depends on who they would get in return, I guess.

He can demand all he wants, salary cap rules would make it virtually impossible for him to be traded during the first 2-3 years of his contract, due to base player rules etc. | Alessandro

Reposted on: 1.9.10 1559.01 | Point well taken ... HOWEVER, if the team can't trade him, that might actually be worse for them : rather than getting some suitable replacement(s) come in for Jermaine, they're gonna have an unhappy (and unmotivated) player stuck on their roster for the next 4-5 years.
If Jermaine doesn't want to play for this team, I daresay he won't be a very productive player ... Thus, the team's record will suffer as a result.

Maybe Jermaine can agree to give up his $120M contract from the Pacers and become a free agent again if he's so upset? | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
