Comments on: O’Neal Looks For A Rebirth In Toronto http://hoopsaddict.com/2008/07/10/o%e2%80%99neal-looks-for-a-rebirth-in-toronto/ Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:02:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: PistonsGirl4Life http://hoopsaddict.com/2008/07/10/o%e2%80%99neal-looks-for-a-rebirth-in-toronto/#comment-7823 PistonsGirl4Life Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:33:23 +0000 http://hoopsaddict.com/2008/07/10/o%e2%80%99neal-looks-for-a-rebirth-in-toronto/#comment-7823 As a Piston's fan (and therefore someone who sees A LOT of JO each season) who happens to live in Toronto I think this is probably a great move for the Raptors. JO isn't a 20/10 player anymore but he's still got serious game and makes a legit second option in the front court. When you consider that Calderon is more a facilitator and that Toronto's other attempts to obtain secondary scoring have failed miserably this move makes perfect sense. JO doesn't have to be the same player he was 6 years ago for this to be a great move for Toronto. All he has to do is be better than The #1 Overall Draft Pick Who Shall Not be named by enough to make up for the 1 game out of four where TJ Ford was an asset and not a huge distraction. That won't be hard. As a Piston’s fan (and therefore someone who sees A LOT of JO each season) who happens to live in Toronto I think this is probably a great move for the Raptors.

I've heard this same thing from Oneal only to be let down time-n-time again. Rehab is mental as well as physical and I'm not sure that he has the strength, to mentally bring it to the table every night anymore. However I would love to eat crow on this and he continue from where he left off in 03/04. I’m an Oneal Skeptic and will wait to see what happens, in the earlier part of the season.

O'neal's knee is still an issue though, and that 13 points a game can't be ignored.

I think as long as JO can stay healthy there will be no problems with this tandem working out for Toronto.

Who would not want another 20 and 9 every game from your front court ? If they are the same guy then that is terrific for Toronto.

I'm rooting for him, although I am worried that he and Bosh are the same guy. Its amazing to me that this guy has been in the league for 12 years, and he’s still not 30.
