O’Neal Likely to Leave Indiana…but Where?

May 31st, 2008, 9:25 am by NetIncome


In an interview with Sporting News Radio’s Tim Montemayor, Jermaine O’Neal
left little doubt that he wants to be traded and that he expects to be traded
to “a team that has a chance to winning a championship.”

小歐接受電台訪問時談到，如果被交易出去，他想到爭冠實力的球隊。

Without identifying which team he expects to play for next year, the six-time
All-Star said he and team management have talked about moving on if the
Pacers are rebuilding.

小歐不想待在重建球隊。

“I dont know what my situation is going to be like as far as next year or
the next six or seven years,” said O’Neal who turns 30 in October. “I told
my agent to do the business.”

交給經紀人處理。

“I really believe that if it comes to they’re totally into rebuilding, I
believe that they will move me, if theyre going to rebuild. That’s pretty
much the consistent thought that i got from the ownership and from management
before I left Indianapolis.

如果大鳥要重建，小歐確信他會被交易。

“So I don’t think its going to come down to a sitaution where we’re going
to to go back and forth, back and forth for me to be moved on because they
just totally just rehauled the team,” said O’Neal.


“I think if they going to rehaul the team, then they’re will move me and
not only move me in with another team, but with another team that has chance
to winning a championship. That was the one thing that was said to me and
really pleased me before I left Indianapolis.”

重申他想到爭冠球隊，如果被交易的話。

He told Montemayor, “Me and (Pacer GM) Larry (Bird) talked about it right
before I left Indianapolis. We’re supposed to meet after the draft. if thats
the case (that the team is rebuilding), I would prefer not to go through
rebuilding.”

還是不想待在重建的談話。

While agreeing his contract–”two huge years” and $44.3 million–would be
hard to move, he made the case that he is recovered from a knee injury, whose
severity was never fully revealed, and that “Once I address these issues
with my knee this summer, I am going to be right back at all star level.”

ㄎㄎ，膝傷好了，經典的說詞：我將重返全明星。

O’Neal can opt out of his contract on June 30, a week after the draft, and
twice suggested that he believes he can play another “six or seven years”.
(That could indicate he is willing to opt out and accept a longer term
contract with a lower initial salary than he’s owed next year.)

小歐深信自己還可以打上個6~7年，備註談到也許他會跳出合約。

O’Neal said he would not pressure the Pacers into a deal, out of loyalty to
team owner Herb Simon and the rest of the ownership in Indiana. “I feel
loyal to these guys. I’m not going to get into a pissing battle…You see so
many situations in different sports, even in basketball, where a player makes
a situation really bad just before they even get out of a situation.”

小歐說不會施加交易壓力給高層，他對Simon兄弟是忠心的。

But O’Neal left little doubt that while he has loyalty to the ownership–and
said Donnie Walsh, now the Knick GM, “has been great to me”, there is no
love lost between he and Bird. “Me and Larry haven’t had the best of
relationships with each other. So that’s kind’ve been a little bit of an
issue to me.”

他也談到他跟大鳥關係沒那麼好。

謎之音：看到接下來幾段，感覺有隱情。

He was particularly displeased with the way the team handled his knee injury,
which he said was his only injury the last two and a half years. He said he
and the team used reports of other injuries to mask the severity of his torn
meniscus.

他特別談到對於球隊處理他傷勢的做法感到不滿。

謎之音：還敢說，跟NJ交易破局就是他的大嘴巴。

“And to tell you the truth, over the last two and a half years, it’s only
been my knee situation,” he told Montemayor. “I didn’t want to tell
anybody, we didn’t want to go public with it, so we kind of put it off on
saying ‘okay it was a sprained ankle or something else was hurting’ just so
I didn’t have to tell people I tore my meniscus. I tore my menisus and just
kept playing on it and eventually it got worse. And its all been downhill
from there the last two years.”

這邊是上述不滿球隊的延伸。

Team “management”, he hinted, let him hang out to dry.

“I was little disappointed that the team didnt step up, knowing what they
knew. They knew the entire time what the situation was, that I tore my
meniscus, that I chose not to have the surgery, that I chose to go against
what the doctors say…for the team and be there for the team. I was
disappointed by that.”

延續上部份。

O’Neal also took a less than veiled swipe at management’s choice of
players.


“The environment has gotten so bad because of all the off court incidents,
its all about what happens off the court, not necessarily what happens on the
court,” he said, obviously referring to the Pacers’ problems with nightclub
fights, shootings, harboring fugitives and marijuana possession…and of
course the Malace at the Palace.

小歐也談到球隊在場外的糾紛看法。

“It’s been tough pill to swallow,” he said, noting how far the Pacers have
fallen and admitting it’s all had an effect on his game. “The off-the-court
situations and my knee injury has taken the fire out of me…but I decided
when I sat out the last 43 games that I was going to get health. I wasn’t
going to play at 30 or 40% anymore. I was just going to let people know what
was really wrong with me, with my knee and really just redefine myself…get
that fire burning inside of me and get in the gym…going back to stage one,
totally evaluating my entire body, my entire game, making sure I can dominate
again.”

小歐也說到上季休兵的理由，他不想拖著有傷的身體打比賽。
他想回到身體的最佳狀態。

So what’s the bottom line?

“Control what you can control, which is the basketball court…getting my
body right, getting my mind right, getting ready for next year, whether I’m
an Indiana Pacer or playing somewhere else.”

不論下季我還待在印城或是哪裡，做好自己最重要。



整篇看完，其實小歐跟高層的關係還頗為耐人尋味的，
也許，很快的就會看到他被交易出去的消息也說不定。

→ pheather:騎士收誰都好,就是不要大班,他退化得比小歐嚴重太多了
→ pheather:如果交易對象是騎士,那不要S&T可能比較好,因為騎士在2010
→ pheather:還得清初大筆薪資空間留LBJ,剛好小歐合約是10到期
推 larson:其實小歐現在還只有29歲而已喔!十月份才滿30歲~
