Shaq to Suns Done, Pending Physical



Up is down, black is white, the Knicks are good (just kidding): Yahoo!'s Johnny Ludden (a respected NBA scribe) reports those earth-confounding rumors about Shaquille O'Neal and Phoenix are indeed true, and the deal is done pending a physical for Diesel tomorrow.
O'Neal will travel to Phoenix aboard a private plane, the source said, to undergo an MRI on his ailing left hip Wednesday. If he passes the physical, the Suns will complete the trade by sending Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat.

Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix... what are you doing? Trading Marion for this washed up, over the hill bag of bones? Makes zero sense!

Cool Re: Shaq to Suns Done, Pending Physical

On first thought, I agree with you guys.

But let's look at it again: The Suns have not been able to get to the finals because they have no interior defense. Somebody to put a body on Tim Duncan, somebody to beat up Nowitzki a little.

I guess they figured that they couldn't win a championship with what they had.

Still, if you want interior D, that's fine. But a speed team relying on a broken-down old center like this just ain't the way to make it work.

As true as it is, it still sounds funny. Makes me think of Robert Parish.

I sort of agree with you, but I guess w'll have to wait and see. Anything BUT a championship win makes this trade a collosal failure, don't you think?
