In response to the idea that O'neal would refuse to play in Utah:
Yeah, he's coming from Miami now. But before that he played in Toronto and Indiana. I'm not judging the actual merits of those cities (I hear Toronto is great) but they're not regarded as top destinations for players, and on the level of SLC.
As far as this sign and trade - it sure seems complicated with all those FAs. I'm not sure about Beasley, but it's better than nothing.
I prefer the Houston trade of Scola and Battier plus their PG.
