Ima type real slow so everyone can read along with me. The trade will NOT help the Suns in theplayoffs. Tell me, please someone tell me, how trading your best defensive player for an average one is a goodthing. Now please tell me how the Suns will use Shaq in the 4[sup]th[/sup] quarter. Cuz if I'm coach, here's what I do. I'll use the Lakers since I'm a Laker fan, but all otherteams can play too. I take Mbenga and his 6 fouls and I send him in the game with 6 minutes left. I don't care if we're winning or losing, he goes in. And he fouls Shaq at midcourtevery time. Now, maybe Shaq hit a couple, chances are he won't make too many. We've all seen plenty of 2 for 8 outta him. So what do you do if you are Phoenix? Take Shaq out right? Ok, so now you are out BOTHMARION AND THE GUY YOU TRADED HIM FOR!!!!!! GEEEEEEENIUS MOVE GUYS. Now, Stathas to play defense. Good luck there, and you have the Frenchman Diaw in for Marion instead of just actually havingMarion. I love it. As a fan of another team other then the Suns, I loveit. They crippled themselves with this. Now if they go into the 4[sup]th[/sup]quarter up by 20 in every playoff game, then they have a shot, but other then that, if it's a close game and Shaq can't even be on the court andyou're left with Nash guarding your best guard, and Stat "guarding" your low post guy, and Hill and Diaw/Barbosa trying to guard your wingman,we'll be seeing you next season. And this is just dumb a&^ me. If I canthink of that, you don't think Phil, or Avery, or Byron, or Pop can think of how to get Shaq out of the game? Comeon people.
