NO! This would give away our only playmaker away for another center who needs the ball fed to him. I like Shaq on this team but not at the expense of trading McGrady who could get us a lot more in return. Give me Amare and Richardson for T-Mac, Barry and Landry.
I would only do the trade if we could get Richardson or another filler and if Shaq can prove that he's still able to play more than 5mins a qtr while running the floor. line would be: AB Richardson Battier/Artest Yao Shaq It would be a great NBA 2k9 line-up but I don't think it would work out in real life. Yao would be destroyed on defense and Shaq would have to play helpside D for Yao's lack of speed. Would be fun to watch doh.
This is one of the nonsense posts I've seen in recent memory. Why would you trade McGrady for a soon to be retired player. There should be strict rules about posts on this website!
I just want to say that I made this exact trade on NBA Live, and I dominated. That's worth nothing, but I'm just saying...
shaq said he's gonna retire in 2 years and train full time for MMA. Seriously, check out this link. http://www.cagepotato.com/shaquille-oneal-calls-out-hong-man-choi-chuck-liddell
since shaq takes the first half of the season off, and yao takes the second half of the season off... i think this can work!
