See Ya, Jermaine; v. 2.0

So, friends. The plot thickens.

JO popped on The Drive with JMV yesterday backpedaling all over what he said that I blogged about yesterday.

Let me just say that JMV did an excellent job covering all the bases, laying it all out and giving JO a platform to talk. Hell, don’t take my word for it, listen to it yourself. Go to JMV’s page there, scroll down a bit, and hit the link.

JO says that he wants to go to a contender. He doesn’t want to go to to a team that’s not a winner.

Guess what, bud: it doesn’t matter what you want. To my (limited) knowledge, you don’t have a No Trade Clause in your contract. You’ll go to whatever team Larry Bird wants to ship you. If your ass is going to garner a better trade going to Atlanta; that’s where you should go. You haven’t done anything here, so why should we worry about you wanting to win a title now?

You’re not doing anything to help the team sitting on the bench “hurt”. And if you really are legit hurt every time you miss games, then you’re not helping the team being broken down on the side of the court every week. JO in a suit looks great, but he’s the only thing more worthless than JO in a uniform on the court.

Larry. Trade him. Get what you can. I’d trade him – and while we’re on the subject, can we package JO with the waste of space that is Jamaal Tinsley? Please? – for some cotton candy and a wad of pre-chewed chewing gum. The man is taking up such a large chunk of salary cap, and he needs to go.

But Tinsley…don’t even get me started…
