That's all that matters in Phoenix, as they're never going to win a championship

Every year it's the same story, a bunch of fast little guys that can score pretty well but that get dominated on the boards and on defense, and it's been that way for 50 years now

you know they were already on the brink of 100 consecutive sellouts, right?

They look like a powerhouse all right. But they ain't got shit on VC though.

But they get to put Amare down there so I think that's what the point of the trade is.

Apples and oranges. Power forwards and centers have completely different styles of play, and Shaq is a complete freak. Also, different phases of their career, different teams, different teammates, etc.

all i know is that this is a bad trade, they can't go anywhere with shaq or marion.

Marion was an undersized PF, and his personality was pretty shitty. The trade was made just as much getting Shaq in the Suns to lift up the morale. All you need to know about Marion was that he was *happy* getting traded to a team that won 9 games all season.

He wanted to play some defense, Mike D'Antoni told him to STFU or he's am going to trade him for Shaq. Guess he didn't STFU.

After 2 minutes of playing the Sun's style of ball, Shaq will be on the bench tired as hell.

LEAVE SHAQ ALONE OKAY? HE IS STILL FIT AND CAN RUN DOCTORS SAID THEY WERE SURPRISED OF HIS GOOD HEALTH OKAY? LEAVVV HIM ALLONNEEE!!!
LEAVE SHAQ ALONE!

reasons why this is MIGHT actually be an ok trade:

1. they have the size they've needed inside.
2. when the suns are in transition, they do NOT need meat wall to run.
3. stoudemire goes to his natural position of power forward.
4. all they need him to is to be a meat wall for the gasols and duncans of the league.
5. d'antoni actually pushed for the deal. considering this fucker proved that small ball can be potentially is scary, it will be somewhat interesting to see what he'll do with shaq.

a gigantic man is the only thing the suns are lacking, they have a great point guard in Nash and a great forward in Stoudamire.

They just need him to rebound the ball and pass it to Nash. That's his entire role.

More like game of the year. What more can you ask for the Suns-Lakers rivalry but with Shaq in there? His debut as a Sun at that. This will also break the 1 game lead Suns have on the Lakers in the Western Conference.

so...what does /vc/ say about the game or better...about shaqattack?

I think he did great, did what he was supposed to do...

This was an unnecessary desperation move. The Suns might have needed another player, but not a decrepit old has-been like Shaq.

Well marion wanted out. At the end of this season they would have gotten absolutely nothing for him since he most likely would have opted out.
>> Anonymous
>>9356

But Shaq? They surely could have done better than that.
>> Anonymous
>>9357
It was probably an issue of the salary match up.

Marion makes $16,440,000 this season,
Shaq makes $20,000,000.

Guess they figured why not go for someone who's won rings instead of a collection of mediocre players.

For crap's sake. He just finished a game being a Sun without dropping on the floor. Give Shaq some credit.
