Rumor: Jermaine O'Neal + Anthony Johnson for JRich, Troy, Monta, and Biedrins
Bob Kravitz of the IndyStar offers this deal to bring Jermaine O'neal to the Warriors:
Let's just say... that's not cheap. Two starters (one being a future All Star), one highly regarded prospect, and the one minute man for an All Star big man (who by the way is Bad!) and a backup to Baron who looks like Nate Dogg? S-T- double E- P!
Would you trade JRich, TMurph, Monta and Biedrins for Jermaine O'Neal and Nate D-O- double G?

Wow that trade sucks.
No way.
The Warriors have enough to get most anyone without giving up JRich.
Substitute Pietrus for Ellis

Not a Good Deal
Anthony Johnson is definitely not worth Murphy plus Biedrins/Ellis.
A rip-off in favor of the Pacers.

Bad Deal
Very bad trade for the Warriors. For those who think O'Neal is a dominant big man, he's not. He is a very good player who is more of a PF than a true C in my mind. He just doesn't mix it up down low with bigger guys. He has also had a lot of injury problems for such a young guy, not to mention the attitude problems. If you leave Monta and Andris out of the deal, I would probably do it. Troy and JRich would be a fair trade for those two. Though I would hate to see JRich go, 2 guards are much easier to come by than gifted C/PFs.

uhhhhhhh.
I really don't see this trade benefitting us. But it most definitely gives a HUGE edge to the Pacers. And if this deal went down, it could possibly be one of the worst trades in Warriors history.

Interesting
- "Whoever gets the better player gets the better end of the deal". The theory has great prescendence (Shaq to Miami, Barkley to Phoenix, Kareem to the Lakers, etc.)
- Always trade a good big man for a good little man.
