“Amongst growing speculation in the media, in reference to Shaq, I want to set the record straight and say that we are not trading Shaq.”
Pat Riley Statement on Shaquille O’Neal

[Lefty Noob]

Riley denies Shaq is on the block, but where there's smoke, there's fire. So will O'Neal be traded during the offseason?

[ThePundit]

File that rumor with the one that KC is trading LJ and the Broncos are trading 6 picks for Calvin Johnson.

Riley is going to coach how much longer - a year, 2 tops? So he wants to win now. Shaq is going nowhere.

Wouldn't Shaq have to agree to a trade. I thought he had that in his contract. He would only go to a state that had no state taxes. If I recall, that is one of the reasons he went to Miami.

i would listen to offers first but after tyhey dont get there unreaoistic price tag it wont last long Shaq staying South Beach

[ThePundit]

As long as Riley is coaching, Shaq is going nowhere. Unless they can get an equal type dominating player - Like Duncan and since that's not happening, As long as Riley coaches, Shaq will be Heatman.

If they were smart they would unload him now. He is fat, out of shape, and injury prone and not nearly the player he was just a couple years ago.

Yet no one person in the league can handle him one-on-one.

Shaq's put his stake in Miami in more ways than basketball. He's here to stay.
