Suns officially get Shaq, Heat get Shawn Marion, Marcus Banks

[thenextgreatbigman]

Some factors here why i said 20 - 10 - 2

1 factor this guy is 365 lbs 7-3 with shoes BIG MAN.

2 his only purpose will be to get 10 rebounds and some blocks.

3 He is going to be a part of the offense at least 1 quarter a game when amare sits out

4. the steve nash factor this man can get you the ball and get you it in no brain spots.. his passing is at least +3 - +5 points per game.

5. How are people going to double team amare if shaq is there?

6. offensive rebounds if he gets them then they are going in.

7. he has a real purpose in Life again He can win a championship 2 more years now and be one of the all time greatest Centers in the world.

8. He leaves all the bull **** he has in Miami and moves to a new life in pheonix. his wife devorsed him last summer.

according to the physical he's down to 312lbs

I don't know if this has already happened or not, but what will the Heat do about the final seconds of that game they were supposed to play over because of Shaq fouling out when Shaq isn't even a part of the team anymore?

Oh yeah. Did they already play it? If not...what the hell is going to happen?

[Agent_Zero]

9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and about 24 DNPs.

[mlh1981]

18 PPG/9 REB/28-32 min. a game.

If I had proposed a trade like that, I would have been shot on this board.

[Noob Saibot]

can't believe this trade went down.

Shaq & Nash? but Marion and Wade should be pretty exciting to watch though.

The same is true for the Grizzlies/Lakers trade too though.

[PejaNowitzki]

Shaq-13-15 points, 8-9 rebounds, 2 blocks per game.

It is so true. Looks like a bunch of NBA addicts from a message board could run the league better than some of the gms (who coincidentally could play better than any of us could ever dream)

[ChrisConley]

there's a lot of rebounds to pick up. suns worst in the league in rebound differential averaging 6 rpg less than their opponent. plus they lose marion's 9.9 rpg.

Considering how little information we all know, none of us is justified to make any trade. The same trade, if made by a person who doesn't know the real condition of the teams, nor the situation surrounding it, would warrant a shot in the head. And well deserved too.

But we do it because it's fun to play GM.

actually dont sell yourself or fans short while putting GMs on some pedestal they dont belong on....for that matter coaches.

we watch the same games/players they do and thats the bottomline. Games are the clearcut evaluation of a team/players so its not like we dont know how good Shaq is right now or that Kerr knows more about Shaq right now than we do. We've all watched him and its not like Shaq is playing in some only-GM-watching league.

i guess the big variables are the owners and how they push the GM's to do stuff. Like the Clippers owner all of a sudden came out with all that crap about wanting to win now...who would've called that?

Of course GMs make mistakes too. However, they are exposed to much more information than we have. When they make decisions, all the risks are calculated. The business risks, the owners, the fans, the financial, the players, everything. When someone who doesn't have all the information make decisions, they are basing it on limited information. In our case, very limited information.

I'm not putting the GMs on pedestal because really, some of them are not very smart, but what I am saying is that these people have much more informations than the fans, therefore the most suited person to make trades. Not us.
