    How hilarious would that be if Shaq goes back to LA and they win it all and then he retires and talks smack that Kobe could never win one without him.....it seems like something he would do, they are both snakes....they deserve each other.

    That would be funny. I bet Kobe would be dead set against it. He wants to win a championship without Shaq.

    I'll agree Sarver is the ultimate problem and things started going downhill when he started meddling. Kerr had nothing to do with mistakes prior to his arrival in Phoenix. Letting JJ go because of a measly $5 million difference (over 5 years) was Sarver's most short-sighted, unforgivable decision among many.

    But unless I'm mistaken, Kerr drove the Shaq trade as much (or more) than anyone. Kerr ran D'Antoni off and hired Terry Porter. Kerr traded Diaw & Bell for J-Rich because they didn't get along with Porter (and it turns out neither do Nash, Grant Hill or Amare). Maybe you think the Bobcats trade was a good thing but I certainly don't.

    Suffice to say when Kerr gets canned, he won't get another GM job ever again. The sooner he is let go, the better for the Suns.

    Apparently Miami is considering Marion/Beasley for Amare

    That would be a stupid trade. Giving up two great players for one. Why would they do that?

    It really doesn't work capwise so it's not going to happen unless they add in Barbosa.

    Marion/Beasley for Amare/Barbosa? I'm sure Miami wouldn't even think twice on that one.

    Shaq's a two-way franchise killer against other teams and towards his own team.

    You guys do realize he was just joking, considering that Marion was traded for Shaq in the first place right?? :confused:

    Shaq to LA or not as long as the Refs don't interfere Yao would dominate all.
