Larry Bird is a hard man to deal with," O'Neal said. "He tries to make unfair trades. He wants to gut a team, but the Lakers are trying to get over the hump. I want Indiana to benefit, but with some nice young players and draft picks. I want to make it clear that I don't want to gut a team that I come to because then it'll be like I'm in Indiana all over again.
"If things don't work, I have an option in my contract next year and I will opt out and become a free agent."

I know GMs want to get a better end of the deal when making trades but can Bird be this pathetic?
I was born right around the time he retired so I dunno much about his playing days.i've seen videos on youtube about some of his performances:passing, shootin, playing hurt, etc etc putting up hall of fame type stats....but was he an A-S-S as a player like he is one as a GM?
