O’ Neal heads to Boston
Center Jermaine O’ Neal saw the writing on the wall and knew it was time he found a new home.
O’ Neal found that home with the Boston Celtics, signing a two-year, $5.75 million contract to back up Kevin Garnett.
The center said he knew returning to the Miami Heat wasn’t going to be an option after their free agent spending spree.
Not only would he not get as much money to remain with the Heat, but his playing time would have been significantly reduced.
He believes Boston offers the best opportunity when it comes down to style of play and personalities on the team.
