Yea I agree with above post. People keep saying Shaq won't work in phoenix because they keep thinking that they will keep running their up tempo offense and Shaq won't keep up. But in the playoffs it is a different game, now the Suns CAN afford to slow it down and run some inside/out offense. Can't blame Kerr for making this trade, even if it doesn't work out in the end you can't fault him for trying.

from a basketball stand point, i just cant see it. I can see what you guys mean by slowing it down and working from the inside out, but losing Marion who is a decent outside threat and a energetic rebounder for Shaq whos certainly not the energizer bunny still dont make sense to me. Not to mention people will do hack-a-shaq against the Suns who are without a doubt a team based on runs. When anyone plays the suns, they know a 10 point lead is nothing because they go on these spurts, but think about it...now when people see the spurts about to go off, they'll just foul shaq and call it a day.

The lakers are okay. Once Shaq comes back the Suns will be dominating teams. If Lakers dont get home court they could be one and done

Lakers-Heat Preview
By DAN PIERINGER, STATS Writer, NBA.com Last week, the Los Angeles Lakers made a trade that potentially made them the team to beat in the Western Conference. The Miami Heat have more modest expectations after pulling off their own blockbuster deal. After acquiring Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal, the last-place Heat hope to avoid their 22nd loss in 23 games as both newcomers are expected to make their debuts against the new-look Lakers in Miami on Sunday. With the worst record in the NBA thanks to one of the worst stretches in franchise history, Miami (9-39) shook things up on Wednesday, when it sent O'Neal to Phoenix for Marion and Banks. The Heat lost a 14-time All-Star that helped deliver the franchise's first championship in 2006, but they acquired two pieces for what coach and team president Pat Riley hopes is a quick rebuilding process. "Today is really about change, it's about moving on, it's about getting on with what's going to happen in the Miami Heat's future," Riley said Wednesday. "And these are two people who are going to start that." Marion, a four-time All-Star, has career averages of 18.4 points and 10.0 rebounds, and has a reputation as one of the most versatile defenders in the NBA. Banks, a fifth-year guard, has seen limited playing time since he was a lottery pick in the 2003 draft, but is expected to see an increased role in Miami. "The sky's the limit," Marion said of the Heat's potential. "Can't get any worse. We can only get better now." The Heat will likely need immediate improvement to compete with the Lakers (32-17), who feel they solidified their status as NBA title contenders when they acquired Pau Gasol from Memphis on Feb. 1. Los Angeles has won two of three games with Gasol, who's averaging 22.0 points and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 61.4 percent from the field in those games. He had 30 points and nine boards in the Lakers' 117-113 victory over Orlando on Friday night. "With all (Gasol's) skills, it's going to be a seamless transition for us," said Kobe Bryant, who had 36 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. "He has the ability to do everything on the floor, whether it's pass, shoot, rebound or defend. Adding him makes us a very strong team." Bryant had struggled in his previous two games, combining to go 7-for-29 from the field while playing with a dislocated pinkie finger on his right hand, but he appears to be back on track. "Having Kobe takes a whole lot of pressure off my shoulders," Gasol said. "This is an amazing opportunity for me and I want to make the very best of it every single night." Marion will have his own superstar teammate in Dwyane Wade. However, Wade is averaging 16.6 points and shooting 37.7 percent from the field in his last five games after averaging 32.6 points in his previous five contests. He went 5-for-17 and had 19 points as Miami fell to 1-21 since Christmas with a 101-84 loss to Philadelphia on Thursday. "I don't look at the standings," Wade said after that game. "I know we are at the bottom." Wade, though, is encouraged by Wednesday's trade. "They'll add to our team, that's for sure," he said. |

Just to be a dick:
To be fair: I can't wait for game four on the 20th. By then, Shaq should already be playing and our frontcourt will be in full force once Mihm is back. Last edited by Juan; 02-10-2008 at 07:10 AM. |

Mihm sucks. He's tall and can block a shot maybe, that is the only thing he brings to the team. Overall, he is terrible.

Nice to see Matrix succeed outside the Suns system.
15 points, 14 boards, 3 dimes, 3 blocks, 3 steals.

Celts with a big win over the Spurs without Garnett. To be fair SA didn't have Tony Parker either. Still though, Celtics are undefeated against the Western Conference, pretty hot

He is, man. At the most he is a defensive presence, ONLY because of his height. That's it. He is way too soft, as well. We need to ship him and Walton out.

Sammy, watch that video and tell me he's terrible.
He was averaging around 10 points, 6 rebounds and about 25 mins per game before he got injured. I'm not saying that now we're a lock for the championship because he's coming back, but I wouldn't wanna mess with a front court of Bynum, Turiaf, Mihm and Gasol. IMO, Mihm is a contributor. |

I would put Mihm on the floor only to rest Gasol and Bynum, for like 5 mins a game MAX.
ANYWAY, argument over. |

I just want to state that Jose Calderon's the best PG in the East, and that he's going to be a great PG. He came over from Spain so it took him some time to get used to the NBA which is expected. He doesn't do anything fancy, and isn't a great athlete, though he never seems to get tired, he is just a solid player, who is very effective at what he does. Great shooter, shooting something like 45% from 3, hes 3rd in three throw PCT, shooting around 50% from the feild on the season, along with his 10 ast. per game since replacing TJ Ford as the starter, and he very rarley turns the ball over, with an assist to turn over ratio of about 6-1. Not to mention he is exremely consistent and never has a bad game, Of the 45 games or so I've seen, he's had maybe one off night.
I would also like to say he should be going to the All Star in place of Joe Johnson, he isn't on a winning team, and the fact that Jose is a key contributer on a winning team should play into it. |

PHOENIX (AP) - Shaquille O'Neal has gone through his first practice with the Phoenix Suns.
O'Neal said after Monday's workout that he was winded but otherwise felt fine. He says it's going to take some time, though, for him to learn where he fits in the Suns' system. He says at this point in his career, he considers himself a role player. No date has been set for his first game with Phoenix. O'Neal was able to run the floor with the team without any signs of the hip injury that has sidelined him for several weeks. He came to the Suns last Wednesday in a blockbuster deal that sent Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat. Phoenix has two games before the All-Star break — at Golden State on Wednesday night and at home against Dallas on Thursday. |

Kidd, and Malik Allen to Dallas in exchange for Harris, Diop, Stackhouse, Ager and George. If I'm Jersey I have to be relishing this deal, nice young very taleneted PG, and big stong center, something they can use. I wonder if they will look to move Carter or Richardson.
