I still think the heat got the better end of that deal. When you thinkj of what shaq ads to pheonix, apposed to marrion ads to the heat. shaq is still a force but past his prime and he cannot play in a run n gun offense. Maybe in the 1st quarter or a few playoff games but i know old shaq, and I guarantee he will miss 1/3 of the remaining game of the season with pheonix.
The thing is, we got out clean of that contract which we would of been obligated to pay for 2 more years. Shaq was a big part of this team when he was 3 years younger, and could share the load with big Zo. Recently he has just become the reason we coudlnt afford to resign our role players or pay for new talent.
So long Shaq, you promised a ring and we got it while you were here. I hope the Suns can win this year just so shaq can retire with the thumb ring. But aside from that I am glad to see him go.
Now lets just hope this trade wont stop the heat from drafting beasely.
