I had a 9 hour drive home from Missouri today, so I was just listening to ESPN radio for a long time, and this is what I got.
Kobe should go back to the Lakers now, no other team can pay him as much as they can and he will be able to have his coach of choice.
Shaq will not be going to a team in the West, and the teams talked about the most were New Jersey and Orlando. New Jersey because they will be in the big New York market soon and don't want Kenyon Martin anymore, Orlando because Shaq was drafted there and has a house there. If Shaq goes to Orlando, T-Mac will likely stay (obviously), but they wouldn't have anyone next to them (remember Grant Hill's contract is still taking up place, and they don't have a lot of draft picks in the future).
Those were the two primary teams being discussed, with New Jersey being the more likely one (and they would be lethal might I add), but they also did mention both Dallas and Houston (Yao and Shaq :wow
. Dallas is actually a legit chance, because Cuban has the money, but it doesn't look like they are going to have a point guard, so then they would just be stuck with like 6 big men. There was also talk about if Shaq goes to Dallas, Don Nelson is close to being fired, so Phil could meet back up with him there.
Thats what I got, for discussing purposes
