LOL SUNSNice trade guysAn acquisition totally on the Pau Gasol levelTHIS HERE'S THE YEAR, THIS HERE'S THE YEAR
Eh, it'll put people in the seats.
That's all that matters in Phoenix, as they're never going to win a championshipEvery 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.
hes going to average 8 points per game and 7 rebounds.
>>5952He's 58% shooting this year right? That's still pretty good.
>>595758% of crap is still just some crap.
>>5957yeah when shawn marion average 20 points and 10 rebounds. WHAT A STEAL!
>>5968>>5969Maybe he's just playing poorly so he can get traded. He looks more fit than his usual self.
>>5952thats all they need him to do
>>5976still aint got shit on vc

>>5988still better than shaq, marion is a foward.
>>5998But they get to put Amare down there so I think that's what the point of the trade is.
>>5988Apples 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.
>>5998Marion 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.
>>6015next year the heat are going to be a good team next year, hopefully they get michael beastly from kansas state.
>>5940bad trade is bad.shaq wasnt doing shit all year. for any matter, he hasnt done anything of gigantic significance since being in Miami. besides take fouls. hes used up.
>>6047i wonder how many time hes going to get foul out this go around.
marion was one of two players on the suns interested in playing defense. IS THIS AWESOME Y/N
>>6240The only thing Marion was interested in was himself.
>>6047agreed. who cares about how bad marion was, they Suns could've done so much better...
>>6245show me on the doll where he touched steve nash
>>6240He 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.
>>6295I thought he wanted to score but D'Antoni told him to just get some putbacks?
>>63006300 GET!!!!!!!!OMFGZORZ!!!!!!1111
Suns are going all the way.Unfortunately.
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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgeFmmtFbnM99 free throws and can't hit one
>>7340lol wtf? is that really jay-z?
>>7340i lol'd a bit
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.
>>7381They need a better shooting guard
we'll see tonight at 9pm on espn. Lakers vs. Suns
Suns will be playing 4 on 5 in transition.
>>7387Raja Bell not good enough for you? Pretty much anyone on that team can make 3-point shots

fuck this nc vs nc state game they arent going to the nba.
This game needs to end already, COME ON SHAQ VS KOBE!
Does it matter?We all know the league is rigged, but the Fakers won't make the finals anyway
>>7812are you a maverick fan?
>>7818Nah, I live in Boston but am a Houston fanShrug

>>7883still aint no vc.
>>7890lol VC is shit nowadays. Why do you think Kidd wanted to get traded so badly?
An hour til tipoff. Game of the week here.
>>7931More 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.
>>9346Well 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.
>>9356But Shaq? They surely could have done better than that.
>>9357It 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.
>>9365How many times did he have to shoot another free throw because of of a lane violation? Damn aren't you supposed to get better at free throws with age?
>>9370He makes it when he has to though.
>>7340lol momentous
>>9370i fucking lol'd when he had too shoot 3 free throws and didn't make one.
