Nash
Bryant
Finley
Walker
Mihm

can ya'll say best backcourt ever

He wasnt about to trade shaq to his own conference...and shaq and dirk would win championships...our team would be better but we would have to be reminded 4 times a tear that he is not on the lakers...if he was traded to the mavs and they won a champisonship...then cupcake wouldlook dumba gain for trading him to our own conferenece...plus everyone knew nash was good but not this good and hes only good becasue of the type of offense the suns run...finley's been on the downside for the past 3 years and antoine is antoine..i think hes ok but i wouldnt want himon my team...he jacks up 3s early in the shot clock and cannot play D...i do agree we shouldve gotten more for him but they werent about to trade him to their own conference

Shaq would have never been traded to the same conference and we should not waste our time arguing that point.

Just as it will be difficult to get Garnett unless Garnett fights to get to the Lakers, which is unlikely at best.

This should be a right that players should not have. Its very harmful in a business perspective for any team.

Basically they let shaq choose where he wanted to go. This is something I disagree with completely.

Coming to think of it players should not have the right to Demand a trade. its like "look your dumbass signed the contract and u gotta liv with it the next few years".

Some people that work full time 11 hour shifts dont like their jobs but damn they have to appreciate they even have work.

I cant see how an NBA player is not happy when hes making a crap load of money to "feed their families".
