Miami Heat: Jermaine O'Neal, Yakhouba Diawara to stay

Miami Heat center Jermaine O'Neal has exercised his contract option for next season.

Although you'd have to be an idiot to turn down $23 million, wouldn't it have been great if JO left it on the table and walked! It really sucks we have to suffer through another year of Jermaine O'Neal. Doesn't like to play defense but loves to cry and moan when he doesn't get the ball every other possession. His skillset has really deteriorated and its laughable that he claims he will be an All-Star again. I look forward to the day we are "O'Neal-less" again, and Bosh can't get here fast enough. Even though its looking more and more unlikely he ends up here.

Pay me!!!

O'Neal sucks...and that's when he's healthy.

JO is young people. If he can get rid of these nagging injuries and get healthy, we have ourselves a team,. especially with the max player added to wade and beasley and JO--------

Dude, it's going to be my 13th year in the league. Are you nuts?

Man, why couldn't JO pull an Anthony Carter, and forget to inform the team that he was exercising his options. Who reminded him.

OMG 23 million for Jermaine O'neal who plays like he's afraid of his own shadown? wowwwwww

[Rocky]

All that money. If they couldn't play basketball, and neither of them are any good, thay would be herding goats in Kenya.

chris bosh, d wade, beasley, trade for a respectable PG and we are rolling.

but at the end put beasley at the 3.
the only way he will learn defense is by getting burned by other 3's.
live and learn. beasley has a full season to learn until the summer of 2010 arrives!

JO is awful. He should be paying us for having to watch him play. He makes 20% of his shots and is afraid to rebound.
