Amidst the shocker that was the Super Bowl upset of the Patriots here in Arizona, there were more fireworks going on here with the Suns.? Shaquille O?Neal was traded to the Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.? Apparently, Miami was looking for a way to unload Shaq?s large contract and get younger.? Well they succeeded.
My first thoughts of this trade were, ?it would be a UA grad (GM Steve Kerr) that would get duped into this trade.?? But as I pondered this more, Shaq?s ego is looking for one more stroke and what better way than to have one more go especially against his old buddy Kobe.? Amare will be playing his true position at power forward and Shaq doesn?t need to be the primary weapon on this team.? Hell he doesn?t need to be 3rd.? Miami didn?t have much in the way of a supporting cast.? Not so with the Suns.? I?d say if he has one or two more runs in him yet, please make sure these runs line up with the playoffs.

BTW, does it look like D’Antoni is excited about Shaq being here?
Marc,
I found you through another friends blog! It’s been years and years. Bobbie Essary ( I know you remember me) You probably remember Norman and Becky better though. It was really cool to come across this blog and see those old pics of you under “his poor mother” that’s exactly how I remember you! Just thought I’d say hey.
