    Misleading title. Where does it say Shaq wants out of PHX?

    I hope he's stuck in Phoenix all next season and they miss the playoffs. I used to like Shaq but now I can't stand him. His tirade against SVG put him on my bad list.

    Funny that he'd call SVG a frontrunner when all signs seem to indicate that when his teams are failing lately, he wants to jump ship and head somewhere more promising. Sounds like the Big Hypocrite.

    He wants another one pretty bad it seems. I don't know what his deal is. Frankly, I wouldn't be happy in PHX either, if I were him. He wants to go out on a good season; I'm sure he's just tired of being stuck on a dysfunctional team that's pretty much out of the playoff picture.

    Am I the only one that wonders what a Yao, Shaq, Artest front court would look like together.

    Dont get me wrong, I don't want Shaq here. I think he causes way to many problems with unrest off the court, he is too old, he would want too much money and all that.


    I just wonder if you could make a duo like Yao and Shaq work in the same front court and on the floor at the same time. It would be fun to watch for a little while I would guess, until you realize that the only people actually moving are the SF and guards! :D

    It tells you something about how valuable Cleveland believes Shaq is when it was reported, almost immediately following the deadline, that the Cavs were far more interested in trading for Shaq than for Amare. According to one of those NBA insiders on the NBA Coast-to-Coast, the Cavs believed that if they got Shaq and paired him with Lebron, Cleveland thought the championship was "theirs to lose".

    So take that for what it is worth

    They wanted to clear more cap space to be able to take on Shaq's nearly $25 mil per, so they wanted the Suns to take on Ben's contract.

    Money got in the way, nothing else. You are quite dumb if you really think they were unwilling to part with Wally World for the Big Aristotle.

    He missed the playoffs his rookie season. They drafted Webber with the #1 pick and traded him to the Warriors for Penny Hardaway and about 12 1st round draft picks. ;)

    i bet they regretted it after seeing shaq's performance after the all-star break. shaq can really get them over the hump. he's costly but like with miami, it's worth it if they win it all.
