Shaq deal close to finish
« on: July 10, 2004, 12:35:23 PM »
to Miami for Odom, Grant and Butler. I think this is a crappy trade for LA. How do you trade the most dominant player in the NBA and not get at least Miami\'s best player back? I think they could get a better deal elsewhere.

Man... words cannot describe my level of disappointment.

I guess the Lakers were really desperate to get Shaq in the East.

Spurs are gonna kick ass next year...

look who they just picked up: Brent Barry

They have no weaknesses anymore


The main contenders for Shaq were Sacramento and Dallas, 2 big rivals for the Lakers so they really dont want to send him there.

I\'m glad he didn\'t go to the Kings, and I\'m glad he\'s in the east, woot for me.

(thx, in the east he doesn\'t have the chance to kick the Lakers ass more than a couple of times a year, and he won\'t be competing against them in the playoffs except for in the finals possibly)

Kobe will resign he was just dicking around everyone, including Shaq, because he wanted to make sure Shaq got traded and maybe and increase in money; which is what the Knicks wanted to offer him actually. That\'s rediculous, I\'m not a Kobe fan. A Knicks fan yes, but, I definitely would rather someone else over Kobe. In the end he\'s back in LA half-assing it for alot more than he\'s worth.

This has to be the worst deal in history. I would have ask for dwayne, odom, grant, and a first round pick if I where the lakers.

Kobe is still my favorite player but man the lakers are going to suck next season.

Briant grant has done nothing but been a waste of a contract.

They should have asked for jones instead he may be 33 but he is much better than grant.

I hope shaq the big cry baby never wins again.

Lakers won\'t be in the finals, nor will the Heat, I was just saying that is the only way they meet up in the playoffs

I don\'t see how it could be THAT bad for the Lakers.  Shaq isn\'t gonna be around for another 5 years unlike the other guys hes getting traded for.  

Grant is a hard worker, he won\'t score the points Shaq does but hes a decent rebounder.  Caron Butler still has a lot of potential and Lamar Odom can be dominate if he actually tries hard.  Odom was unstoppable at times against the Pacers in the playoffs.  In the long run the Lakers will be better off because Kobe won\'t be feuding with these guys like he was with Shaq.  Also the Lakers add a little depth to the lineup.  They\'ll have either Butler, Malone, or Odom off the bench.  Not too bad.

The Heat however get an older Shaq with a huge contract.  They don\'t have a very good bench and lost one of their better bench players earlier this week when Toronto signed Rafer Alston.  The Heat starting lineup won\'t look as good as LA\'s.  They\'ll have Shaq, Jones, and Wade.  Thats it.  LA will have Grant, Malone, Odom, Kobe, Payton and Butler probably off the bench.

I dont know much about salaries caps in the NBA, but since Ginobli just took a 8.5 million chunk out of the Spurs cap how will they keep Tony Parker next year? They have no more space! But Im wondering if they can still give him a good salary because KG and Shaq have 28+million dollar salaries...
