Is The Play Of Bargnani Forcing O’Neal Out?
Hooped Up | January 16, 2009
Andrea Bargnani is definitely on fire these days and that could be bad for Jermaine O’Neal, if he really likes Toronto. But, who doesn’t want to live in a city without Sneaky Dee’s anyway? Anyway, “Il Mago” has averaged 22.3 points a game, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, while shooting 55.7 per cent from the floor and a sizzling 57.8 per cent from three-point land while O’Neal has been injured and the Raptors brass might want to “make room” like the Alkoholics track for development of Bargarni to continue. According to the Globe and Mail , O’Neal sounds pretty cool about whatever happens, though.
“If I was to get traded, God bless ‘em,” Jermaine O’Neal said after practice yesterday. “I have a really good agent in Arn Tellum and he keeps me aware of what teams are trying to acquire me. … And [Raptors president] Bryan Colangelo? He’s my man. We have a very friendly relationship and I respect his view.”
If the Raptors can pick up a slash and havoc guard or small forward, they need to do a deal now! Otherwise, patience is the key because there is always room for a quality big man on any NBA roster and Jay Triano will find a way to get what he needs out of the former all-star Jermaine O’Neal when he’s health.

Bargnani will come back to earth soon and that’s where J.O. will step in.
When Colangelo drops Bargnani in the heart of Jane and Finch with only a plate of rotini and a fork to fend for himself, one pair of his new “Air Mago’s” kicks and basketball. Now if he makes it out of Jane and Finch alive and well, this is when Andrea will figure out that playing to his potential everyday is what the league is all about. I do not know what Air Mago would mean in english, but they would still be fresh, I think Hooped up and myself can make this commercial happen, you heard it here first.
Oh about the article, it took Disco Dirk 7 years to come into FULL form, I expect the same for Andrea, and PS why not have him play steady 3 man, oh its too brilliant thats why, Canada basketball way of thinking will set in for Triano, BOSH, ONEAL AND ANDREA, with parker and THE BACK UP POINT GUARD, whatever his name is, Soloman ( had to look it up ) this team would be hard to handle, smash mouth basketball, you send your studs, we`ll send our duds off the bench, but the difference is you won`t want to bang with us come the forth quarter cause you`ll be hurting from our fouls…..God I loved Oakley.
