Phoenix

at Shaq is going to be traded this off-season. Most of us do. Despite his resurgence in Phoenix last year Shaq doesn't fit the Suns' plans, and they don't fit his. Assuming Alvin Gentry comes back and passes Terry Porter amazing 50ish game run, the Suns are going to stick with the run and gun style that they tried reimplementing towards the end of last season. While I don't know Shaq, I do know enough 350 pound men to know that they don't really like running. Do you think Shaq, at this stage of his career wants to channel his inner greyhound and run up and down the court at a break-neck pace like he did that first year in

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.
