That's all the Suns could get for Shaq?
They couldn't even get back #30? Disgraceful.

They might not have to double Dwight, but this still doesn't solve their matchup problems with Rashard and Hedo, you telling me that Z'sold self is going to have to defend one of them
It will be interesting to see if this closes some of those driving lanes for Bron to come rambling down, hope he's working on his jumpshot this summer.

Throw the MLE @ Charlie V and get Posey from Charlotte and I'll be happy
Cavs need a solid defensive wing and a tweener big man.
Get a backup PG in a stacked PG draft

That's what I am wondering. I know some folks say the cavs won't win anything but come on now....
Kobe just got his 4th ring....You don't think Shaq would do whatever he could to help lebron get his first and Shaq's 5th which would be one more thenKobe?
I know what shaq can do when he is hungry. Mo had one bad series. The experience will help him and he will be much better next year. I think this can and willwork. This will help them with Boston and Orlando.
Let's see what happens.

We still need taller, athletic wings...Orlando is still gonna run circles around us from 3-point line with or withoutShaq.

shaq don't command double teams no more, I don't wanna call dude useless, but would he really be an upgrade over big Z? As far as I know shaq can't step out and hit a mid range/3pt bucket
I could've worded it better, but what I was trying to say was at this point in their careers IMO I don't think shaq would be THAT much of an upgrade(ifany) over Z

If you think about it, Shaq has played or will play with 3 of the best players of this era.

Shaq used the Suns' training staff to get himself back into shape. This to me, doesn't mean %**!. If Boston is healthy, Cavs are nothing next year.

but the reason they couldn't recover to the shooters was b/c they had to double/triple dwight all the time, and that made the perimetermatchups even worse. im sure they will live with hedo doing everything rather than tripling dwight and giving up open 3s all day.Originally Posted by Mamba MVP

Z will be off the bench. shaq can play 25-30 mins in the reg. season splitting time with Z and take big minutes only when play teams with centers ala dwight oryao.
the reason they lost to orlando was b/c they had to focus too much on dwight, WAY TOO MUCH.

Yeah, that's the disgraceful part
Isn't drafting rookie contracts financially better than overpaying in the free agency market? I thought Sarver would know this by now
