check out jamario moon's slam dunk teaser on NBA.com


the last one looks like its going to be a good one

Double B

Rumour has it, there is a potential trade........... Shaq to the Suns for Marion and Banks

Jay P

yup... its looking like it will happned pending physicals

Double B

That is going to be a significant change for Phoenix, we will see if it works. It may make the difference in the playoffs either way good or bad. I just see a lot of hack a shack happening and this may disturb their fast past offence.

We will see.

if shaq stays healthy...

but the pluses for the suns is that amare, nash command double teams already... add shaq to taht equation... not to take anything away from the matrix, but nash to shaq... **** all he gotta do is really stand there...

or you can do a switch and have amare on the centre and have a mis-match with shaq taking out the oposing pwer fwd.


it should be interesting

shlammed

are the suns retarded?

shaq isnt who he used to be

I am going to the Raptor game on the 11th, for the very first time, watching a live basketball game.

Double B

That is the problem, they are not a stand around team. For them to slow down and actually run plays like that, I think hinders them. Plus losing Marion a 3 point thread and person who can drive is huge. We will see if it pays off. I think Phoenix is thinking of when they meet up with San Antonio.

Jay P

shawn marion is a free agent and won't resign next year
shaq... at least gives them the big body they need to battle duncan/yao/chandler in the paint.


if he is healthy

Jay P

remember b.. they are run and gun, but that is what kills em in the playoffs...

Jay P

charles.... raps are playing san antonio. its a great game to go to!

Double B

That is also what gets them to where they are now and into the playoffs. You don't change your gameplan halfway through the season. Again it will be all depending on how they will incorporate Shaq into the offence as well as the defence. This is all speculative as the trade isn't firm as of yet. We will see what wee will see. All I know is, if it wasn't for that flagrant foul last year by Horry, in my eyes the Suns are in the finals, and they virtually have the same team now and San Antonio isn't as good as they were last year.

Double B

Here are some thoughts

Double B

Trade is done. Its a crap shoot. Hopefully it works out for them and Shaq can stay healthy.

Jay P

I hope so.... a healthy shaq can really open up a lot of possibilities for the offense.

Double B

As long as he is on the floor it should be good for them. We will see how effective he is for them when they play San Antonio and the other west teams with big men.

Jay P

you got it b.... its pretty much why shaq is a sun.
