Shaq to Phoenix?

According to the Miami Herald, Shaq could be on his way to Phoenix for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Marion gets his wish. He's been requesting a trade for 2 years (playing with Steve Nash must really suck, huh). Phoenix gets a player who does not fit their team model in any way. Miami clears Shaq off their cap and Marion would be allowed to opt out of his deal at the end of the season. Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Elton Brand and Antawn Jamison are all potential free agents.

This makes no sense for the Suns, hopefully it doesnt happen.

That would be very strange. Why would Phx want to do that?

This would be the worst trade in NBA history.

Whats going on in that picture? Hahah.

Shhhh... I hope this goes through! Wade+Marion = Championship in '09

Dont get your hopes up. Miami's whole goal in this is to free up money. marion is on a player option after this year and he will hit the open market. this deal for miami is all about the 40mill they still owed shaq. now they can use it for basketball players who dont need a walker

Shaq to Phoenix Confirmed: Diesel Deleted From D-Wade's Five

The idea of Shaq running the break with Nash has many league officials scratching their heads, though chances are Shaq's glacial mobility and inability to defend will force him to sit out critical stretches late in the game, allowing Nash to operate unburdened of 360 lbs of rapidly decaying skills.

The craziest part of this is how the suns are saying they got shaq for his defensive presence. his what? he has no defensive presence. he can rebound but his footwork left him years ago. he can't defend top 5s. he cant run the break, he cant hit free throws so he'll sit late and he'll bog down the halfcourt offensive and ruin any attempt at half court offense amare would have had. i hope i'm way off but this sounds like panic mode for absolutely no reason.

The only reason shaq would fit in phoenix is for his defensive. he would give Tim duncan and garnet a hard time, two of the players the suns could face in the playoffs.

I actually think that's what Kerr was thinking when they picked up Shaq. Meeting up with San Antonio in the playoffs. The only person who could semi stop Timmy was KT and we let him go, so I really believe that's the main reason we brought Shaq to Phoenix.

Yeah. But that's going to screw up their whole strategy against the Spurs isn't it? Becuase the only way Phoenix has been able to beat the Spurs is by running against them, and Shaq can't run with PHX, and Timmy's too fast for him anyway... I'm going to hate myself for saying it, but the Suns are way better than Shaq. They don't need him.
