    Ok let's startup first with the suns.

    the suns were never half-court teams, they were always up tempo team, now the question did he hurt the suns??. yes he did bcuz he never played in that type of offense, he always had his team's offense running through him, does that make him cancer or a bad player?? absolutely not, he fits perfectly with our offense.

    Now the Cavs.

    It's not his fault that Lebron had a bad night, the only reason why they lost last night bcuz the whole cavs team feed through their best player (Lebron), Shaq had wounderfull game last night and you can't blame him for the loss, OOH and before I forget since when the cavs were hot ??? they faced one of the easiest teams in the first round and they beat them, and not they are playing against a championship caliber team. :confused:

    Shaq will break Yao's leg in practice, or something.

    Sometimes images are more powerful than words.

    Portland not going to trade Battier for Oden AND Fernandez
    and the 76s letting go Iggy for Andersen? Not gonna happen unless the GM was drunk and somebody is holding an arm in his head.

    And I dont want another center that injuries a lot, well it could be a competition with Yao, to see who can play more games without getting injured.

    If we get Shaq:

    "Good Old Shaq: Can he deliver a ring to the King?" becomes...

    "Good Old Shaq: Can he deliver a ring to Yao Ming?"

    Same picture and all.

    if he can focus on only rebounding and blocking shots with the occasional basket here and there and we give up nothing for him then yeah. otherwise the guy is done.

    If we're bringing in the over the hill centers, I'd rather have Dream.

    So I was playing Live on the Wii and Shaq was making midrange jumpshots from all over the court.

    Aside from Live, I say nah...

    The perfect Back Up Center

    We should get Shaq. If we get him as a back up center then I think we will be solid at the center position next year.

    Honestly we should get Big Ben.. He's putting up really great rebound #'s for his limited minutes. Also he should be cheaper.

    If we're going with the old C theme, just go with the familiar guy in Brad Miller.

    Shaq? Good lord, no.

    There would go our advantage getting into the penalty for more FTs....each quarter.

    Wilt Chamberlain would be the ultimate backup to Yao.

    He can provide the whole team with ladies too ;)
