Yeah I would make this move in a second. O'neal gives us a real 4 and inside
defensive shot blocker we have not had in years. Swap Harrington for Kedrick
also

Why not snoop?  If Walker is not willing to accept his role next season
and O'Neal is pissed at Indy for axing Thomas, you wouldn't do a
Walker-Jermaine trade?  Heck I think I'd do that trade right now (if
not for the BYC restrictions).

I think the key is O'Neal being on a team with a bigger star than he.
I've been dreaming of a true power-player like him since Dino Radja
left.

but maybe that's just me.
