Expect the Warriors and Pacers to talk in the summer about a potential deal involving star Jermaine O'Neal, according to Marc Stein from ESPN.

The Warriors believe a lot of their problems stem from the lack of a low-post scorer with real size. O'Neal, as a result, is said to be high on Golden State's list.

It remains to be seen whether the Pacers are indeed prepared to part with O'Neal to start over completely, but it doesn't hurt that Chris Mullin has several young trade assets -- such as Ike Diogu (deemed off-limits in the Artest talks), Mickael Pietrus and the fast-rising Monta Ellis -- in spite of the club's postseason drought.
