Heat in Serious Talks to Trade Shaq....

Hearing that he may go to Phoenix for Marion.

Here is the news from Rotoworld:

The Miami Heat have told Shaquille O'Neal and his representation that they should be prepared for him to be traded in the near future.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Phoenix has discussed sending forward Shawn Marion and point guard Marcus Banks to the Heat in return for O'Neal. Shaq's representatives said they have been made aware that discussions with Phoenix are serious and ongoing, but that a deal was not definite. Marion can opt out of his contract worth $17.1 million at the end of the season. And if he opts out, the Heat would then have substantial salary cap space this offseason, when potential free agents include Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Elton Brand, Marion, Antawn Jamison, Ron Artest and Corey Maggette. Stay tuned. Feb. 5 - 6:30 pm et

I call bullshit on the Suns doing this dumbass trade

Shaq is nothing but a subpar major injury risk

:lolBIG: Sounds like a fair trade :lolBIG:

Is this a joke?

They couldn't get a deal done for Garnett and now they're going to screw up the Suns by getting a guy with nothing in the tank???

hno:

No chance this happens. I refuse to believe Steve Kerr is this stupid.

You are correct! Shaq doesnt care about playing anymore, he has nodesire, he simply does not care!

He is not retiring, he wants the $40 mil the heat must pay him for the next 2 yrs

Would be a decent trade imo. Suns trying to buy a ring. If shaq has a title on the line he can still play. The injuries have slowed him down more than his age. He would be a huge help to the Suns in the playoffs

5 Star, the Suns could get Shaq for Marcus Banks alone, how the fuck is this a smart move?

Shaq is finished and the Heat will dump him for anyone

No way. You can't take a running team and add a guy who moves like he has Kobe's ego strapped to his back.

they will get nothing in return for shaq and would probably have to agree to paying most if not all of his over inflated salary!!!!

Marion wont be staying with the Suns anyway. Why not get the Big Man who DOES have another 2 years in the tank. He shows up in the playoffs bottom line

HatTrick · Feb 5, 2008

I'd rather have Mutumbo.

Seymour · Feb 5, 2008

I am willing to part with Elson for Shaq.

VIEJODINOSAUR · Feb 5, 2008

Shaq is done...period!

5starbomb · Feb 5, 2008

Suns would win it all with Amare at the 4 and Shaq at the 5...

HatTrick · Feb 5, 2008

Sean Marks for Shaq makes more sense.

Not gonna say anymore as i see you wont back down

But are you really saying the Suns will be better with Shaq in the lineup than Marion, a perennial all star, who plays defense like almost no one else in the league?!

Shaq cant play 5 games in a row if he was playing Xbox!

5starbomb · Feb 5, 2008

Shaq is a different animal in the playoffs BigGamer! This would be a 1 or 2 year fix to win a ring...
