SHAQ TRADE

[Silvyy]

I was watching the game last night (suns v. celtics) and i realized that the trade was worth it. the suns have a chance to overwhelm the bigger teams such as the spurs and they still have Nash the best player in the league.

The only reason the Celtics lost was because Paul Pierce and Ray Allen had a horrible game. They were both garbage that game.

 

[Silvyy]

and you cant forget that garnett is hurt and the bench as a couple of minor injuries

 

[Acal]

Anyone see the Suns get whooped this afternoon against the Pistons?

Detroit dominated them by 30! In Phoenix!

 

[Silvyy]

you got to be kinding me, 30, i guess the pistons are still a dominate team

I thought the trade was horrible, Shaq can't keep up with the "run and gun" style of play in the west. He isn't 22 years old, is overweight, coming off an injury that requires surgery. The GM of the Suns should be fired along with Isiah. They lost Marion who is a huge rebounder, can get 20 points a game, runs the floor, and hits 3's when needed. Riley made another genius decision, he got a quality player by giving away a guy who will probably retire at the end of the year. Don't forget the Heat probably will finish with the #1 pick and will draft someone that might even crack the starting 5. Sad part is that I'm a Knicks fan, enough said....

 

[Silvyy]

makes since, but the suns are going for a Win this year and shaq is the 6th man that will help them

I agree with crazy shaq cant run,or shoot free throws. I mean Pau Gasol did better than him.

 

[XGC Crazzy FS]

Yeah Pau Gasoll was a total steal. They made a great trade for Kwame Brown who I think is still shocked he is in the NBA

 

[KoG STEALTH]

Yeah and now kobe has somone that can help him in the center and perimeter.

 

[Silvyy]

gasoll is one of the most underrated players in the league, he was just on a bad team before

 

[KoG STEALTH]

And now he is on the best team ever.

 

[XGC Crazzy FS]

I wouldn't call it the best team ever, but they are a really good team that have an above average chance to win the west.

 

[KoG STEALTH]

Ok ill agree with that. Shaq is not doing good at all with the suns. Some of his stats are down compared to the miami's stats. And he doesnt even play that much. But other than him the Lakers came back last night aginst the trailblazers.

 

[XGC Crazzy FS]

Yeah, I like the Lakers style right now. With a quality big man and Kobe, they could do damage in the playoffs. But, you know that the playoffs is a new season and anyone could come alive. Look at the Warriors last year taking out the Mavs, it could happen

 

[Silvyy]

wait till bynum gets back and if he plays to his potental the team will be great

run and gun style gameplay is what killed pheonix in the playoffs last year buddy... they got dominated down low, and i am scared it is happening again... after watching game one that is...
