Stupid stupid trade!
I have to give the Pacers credit. Jermaine O'Neal is pissed that his team is mediocre and the GM pulls a blockbuster trade.
The Pacers have something that not many Eastern Conference teams have, SIZE
Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu, and O'Neal are going to be thugs on the boards.
Mike Dunleavy will also thrive in the Eastern Conference. Dunleavy has been inconsistent but he is a overall good player who just needed a better environment. Rick Carlisle likes to play slow tempo, and for Dunleavy, it will be like when he was with Duke
Stephen Jackson is an extremely good player, but a cancer. Ever since he won a championship with the Spurs, I think his head got big. He also appears to be a thug with his behavior the last two years.
Al Harrington is a Antoine Walker clone. He is a great talent but not someone you can build your team around as he is a power forward that shoots the 3 way too much.
Besides, the Pacers already have Shawne Williams. In 3-4 years Williams could be the player that people thought Harrington would be when he came out of high school.
The Warriors still suck! Just a lot of flashy players that never won jack shit. At least they will be fun to watch.
