wallacesports    Go ahead and nix any thoughts of a Bosh-J. O'Neal frontcourt reunion. O'Neal to Boston is almost a done deal. Bank on it

Of Course he is, it gives him the best chance to win a title...err would have rather have had Shaq, since he can clog the middle. Well now with Ray Ray back...hes a solid option despite being well...soft.

he is serviceable and better than brad miller. not a bad fill in for perk. boston needs to find another big off the bench and a wing

Fills a need. Hopefully we have some $ left to fill other holes.

I hate O'Neal so much but my buzz over the big 3 being reunited can make a lot of things tolerable.
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

I prefer it to Shaq but I can't say I feel good about it.

I hope we only give O"Neal half the MLE and give the other half to Ryan Gomes

Rondo.....Bradley
Allen.....Allen.....Finley
Pierce.....Gomes
Garnett.....Davis.....Harangody
Perkins.....O'Neal

Not too shabby of a line up.

Why not get both Shaq and Jermaine!

We can have the O'Neal Brothers!

what fun!

Jermaine O'Neal fouls Ron Artest hard
and Shaq fouls Kobe hard
with Rasheed jeering officials from the bleachers!

lol

Jermaine O'Neal really isnt too bad. He's definitely better than Shaq.. he can hit jumpshots, block shots and is still a pretty good rebounder. Andwe dont have to watch him jack up long threes all game either.

I thought JO was 40, but dam he is only 31. He must have came into the league when he was a baby. I hope he stays injury free, and continues his recovery back to his old form. Ainge is slowly putting together another great team.

  • Yup
Call me the eternal optimist, but Jermaine O'Neal has a huge amount of upside potential- especially as a Celtic -(and not a whole lot of risk.  Maybe Cliffy can work his magic!
Yup
