Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

while i understand that this MAY (not deffo) make us better in a short series...

i am nowhere near happy about it..

marion is so udnerrated it isnt funny, just go look at the stats.

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

agree .... miami gets the better end of the trade ... sahq should dedicate to make movies

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

i don't understand that trade on phoenix's side at all. how is shaq going to help? you already have a big boy down in the paint.

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

marion wanted to be traded, he wasnt getting along with staduomire. plus this in a way gives a defensive presents for the suns.

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

i know marion wanted to be traded, but i still see this as the suns settling. and shaq is way over the hill and always hurt to be any kind of defensive presence. shitty trade still, imo.

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

It's confirmed BITCHES!

watch out for Suns this year :)

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

its friday night and im still very very unsettled after this.

i understand what it does for us against dunca, novitski, boozer and gasaol , but ..... we lost marion... and marion is one of the best ...

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

phoenix wasn't winning it all in the west in the playoffs with what they had been doing. keep doing what you've done and you'll get what you've always got. is shaq the answer? dunno, but this is one way to find out- big gamble = big payoff....or big flop. props to kerr for realizing change was needed and sticking his neck out there to change it up.

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

^^^ maybe but shaq is not the answer

have you seen this guy Wilcox on seattle ? i think at least 3 future stars are in that team

Re: Shaq to phoenix ???!!

weird trade indeed. Kerr is a more "defensive" guy, going back to the bulls.. that's his mentality.

Shaq will be good in the beginning but then he'll just disappear.

Go Lakers! :lol:
