Talk about an about face. 

A few years ago you waxed on poetic while vehemently railing Pitino at the 
mere suggestion of trading for O'Neal; that his overtures to Portland for such 
an unproven player in exchange for three 1st rounders were ludicrous (one of 
which was the pick that netted Moiso which in turn begat McCleod and 1st rounder 
from Philly that eventually became Kendrick Perkins). 

Now you want to unload half the team including a 3-time All Star for him? I 
guess your hearty endorsement these days of O'Neal says that RP was actually 
dead on in regard to him from the get-go.
