Shaq says he wont be coming back

Re: Shaq says he wont be coming back

^^^

Where are you hearing these rumors from or are you making them up yourself?

Shaq will cost alot, but some of those deals would just gut a roster. I don't know why Sacramento would give up so much. I don't know why Indy would sacrifice their future in that deal.

The only one that sounded somewhat realistic would be the Phoenix deal IMO. And I doubt that happens because it seems like PHX wants to keep Amare or Marion, not give up both.

Shaq's movement is gonna tilt the league and possibly screw one organization out of it's future.

Re: Shaq says he wont be coming back

PHX will not deal Amare.I've even heard thatthey'd rather deal Matrix over Joe Johnson.

But maybe a deal of Marion,McDyess and JJ and/or possible 1st rounder,would get them Shaq.

Re: Shaq says he wont be coming back

And BTW,does Shaq have veto power on any trade?Cause he keeps making these demands, like the team that he'll be traded to must be in a warm weather climat...

which of these packages would sound the best to you if you were the Lakers GM

Indiana - JO (young All-star, one of the 3 best frontcourt players in the NBA)
Artest (all-star)

LA would do that deal in a second, but i doubt that Indiana would

Dallas - Nash in a sign and trade (one of the 3 best PGs in the league, went to college in Cali, perrenial all-star)
Howard (young future all-star, would be a great compliment to Kobe)
Stackhouse (veteran scorer to compliment Kobe)
'toine (vet all-star, would provide cap relief next season)
Fortson (filler)
Laettner (serviceable vet front court player)
1st round pick next year (Dallas traded 1st round pick in 2006 for Pavel)

That is an entire team with a 6th man and a draft pick - including 3 vet all-stars, and one possible future all-star. I wonder if a lineup like that would give LA flexibility and compliment Kobe.

Sacramento - Bibby (can you imagine the pick and rolls that Bibby and Kobe could run)
Peja (all-star, LA needs outside shooting)
Miller (all-star center)
1st round pick

This would be a great trade for LA but i dont think that either of these teams would trade to their rival.


Pheonix - Omare (all-star)
Marion (all-star)
1st round pick

i dont think that LA would do that trade

NJ - Kidd (one of the 3 best PGs in league)
Martin (all-star)
1st round pick

i think that both teams would like this trade but Shaq probably wouldnt accept it

I would take the Indiana trade. Im not a GM but i did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

although those trades are VERY unlikely, my favorite would be the Sacramento trade even though I hate them.

Re: Shaq says he wont be coming back

even if it means getting the most dominant player in league history, there are a few reasons holding it up. 1) teams will have to gut their team. 2) lal would have to take in any bad contracts and that is not going to happen. 3)shaqs demands have narrowed down the teams to trade with and the players they can take back. This is why it will HAVE to be a 3 team deal.

This is just a made up deal but one that will happen would have to look something like this.
Lakers get Nash, Howard, Podkolzine and Kenyon Martin. Mavs get Shaq and Kittles. Nets get Payton, Stack and Walker
