This may or may not be a really stupid question.....but how does this trade affect Marion's Western Conference All Star status? Or does it?
I don't think Marion was named to the All-Star team this year

I think Amare's defense will be much improved with him sliding back down the PF position.

Chris Broussard's take on this trade:
Why?'' I cried. "I can't see one benefit to adding Shaq.''
Here's what I was told:
First, the Suns don't think they can win it all as currently constructed. Their lack of big, physical players scares the daylights out of them when they look at a Lakers frontline that features Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom (not to mention Ronny Turiaf).
I was told the Suns got word that Dallas was trying to trade for Shaq (in large part to combat the new-look Lakers' behemoth front line) and that that is what set this Phoenix-Miami deal in motion.
Afraid of what a Dallas team that featured Shaq, Dirk and Josh Howard would look like, the Suns have swept in and attempted to steal Shaq from the Mavericks.
Here are some other reactions that I've read:
-As McHale gave to Ainge, Kerr gave back to his old mentor Phil Jackson
-Riley is evil; he used Shaq until he was used up, disregarding the "understood" loyalty that Shaq has had with his other teams
-From clublakers.com: "If i were Kerr I'd get a test for STDs because Riles violated him."
One last thought from me:
I feel like this is similar to Nique or Shawn Kemp on the Magic...
