I can't believe I'm asking this but...
The Suns need to trade or cut a guy to make room for the newly acquired Morris -- so can the Cs take O'Neal off their hands without a player in return? It seems to work in the Trade Machine....

I'd do it - definitely.
-
He's playing great this year. I think he wore out his welcome with the Celtics organization. Otherwise he'd be a great big off the bench. And an MVP candidate... JOMVP.
-
I never want to see the training camp MVP in green again
-
Yes, they can, because JO is on a minimum level salary.
If the Suns have to cut someone, they may as well send JO out of town, and let someone else pay his salary, instead of eating it.

That's my knee jerk too... but have you seen who backs up KG? I mean, who cares...

Money. Cs have the roster spots (though not many bucks under the hard cap?).
By the way, the Blazers striped down 70s logo may be the coolest in sports history. TP.

As soon as that smelly turd got here he'd start half assing it. Give me Collins, Wilcox, Melo....I'd wheel out a dead hippo with Shaq's Jersey stapled on before I'd take back O'neal
-
at this point i think we have to get JO back
-
Bad enough to have to deal with all the trade rumors. Now we have JO to contend with. Give me a break.

No, no, no dead hippo
-
This would do nothing for us
-
No.
-
I gagged a little reading the topic name. I guess, but meh. Melo's looking pretty good, he made an open dunk tonight... Not to mention a nice block. This is sarcasm.

Geez, no ... you're supposed to learn from your mistakes, not repeat them.

I would love to have JO back to backup Garnett for the next 3-4 months.
I don't think Danny can find any backup center that brings more quality to the table than JO does. I think it would need to be a trade though. I doubt JO signs here of his own volition. I imagine he'd want to go to a team with a better shot at a title.
-
Wouldn't you be afraid he would be the gutless scum he was last time? No thanks!

Yeah he'd be a far better waiver pickup than you usually can get. Would really solidify our defense for when KG was off the floor.
-
As much as we dislike him, the Celtics could do worse... of course he'd probably be injured before playing, but IF (enormous IF) he wants and can stay on the court, we'd be more than ok.
Right now we need a backup center badly, hopefully Danny can pull something out of his hat, while not trading any major piece.
-
I would love to have JO back if he was waived by the Suns. Looks like he could actually have a healthy year and having him off the bench would be huge for the big man rotation.
-
I would like him back again as the player.
Just hope his injury luck has really changed.
-
Would love to have him back for what he CAN bring.
The questions are "can he bring it" (injuries rearing their ugly head again) and "will he bring it" (depending on who you believe last year regarding whether he was really injured to the point where he couldn't play or just dogging it).
I would really want to pull the trigger and get him if it were I being Danny, which shows how desperately we need bigs, but would have a hard time doing it because of that old maxim:
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice.....""
-
Pass on this quitter.
-

All those dunks sure are high percentage shots... the Cs are going nowhere without added size and some form of shot blocking ability. In their current situation, beggers can't be choosers.
-
I can think of a much better option. Fly into Serbia and bring back Darko Milicic.
JO is clearly better than nothing at the end of the bench but the memories of how slow he was are tough to think about.
