    AZCentral :"Shaquizona" This article settles the debate!

    Obviously, Bob Young is too dense to realize that the average reader is too dense to recognize the sarcasm unless the article is laced with winking smilies or XML-style <sarcasm>/</sarcasm> tags.

    Draftcity says Jameer at #7

    Here’s a fun little exercise: see how many guys you can list who, at Nelson’s size, have been impact players in the NBA in the last ten years.

    ORL/PHO/IND proposal

    I like it, cly2tw. Very creative thinking. ;)

    Things I believe the Suns are working on...

    There’s no question that the Cleveland pick and $3M is on the table for the Bobcats. Now it’s just a question of whether the ’Cats will bite. We’ll know on Tuesday. I’ll be very surprised if Livingston is still on the board at #7.

    New Jersey Nets sell pick for cash

    Cap-wise, it means nothing. However, $3 million is still $3 million. Remember, this is real money we’re talking about. The same stuff that you and I pay for food and utilities, just a heck of a lot more of it.

    New Jersey Nets sell pick for cash

    Ouch. It really sucked when we sold those two picks to Utah, but at least that was an act of owners who were trying to sell the team. When this is the first act of the team’s new owners, that has to be taken as a very discouraging message to fans. This franchise is going to be competing...

    What would it take to sign and trade for Martin?

    He never seriously thought that was going to happen. He just said it to get under the skin of Suns fans. Evidently, it worked.

    ORL/PHO/IND proposal

    If Orlando is interested in getting out of Howard’s contract, and if Kobe is interested in us, then maybe we could do something like Marion/JJ/Eisley for McGrady/Howard. And Kobe to the mix, and you have a very impressive roster: PG - #7 (Gordon/Harris/Livingston) SG - Kobe SF - McGrady...

    O'Neal asks for trade

    No. No matter how angry he may be at the Lakers for having the gall to choose Kobe Bryant over him, he won’t win it the championship by himself. Amare has a great future, and a not-so-bad present, but he’s still a very inexperienced player with a lot to learn. Zarko, Leandro, and Maciej...

    What would you rather give up?

    Maybe... maybe not. I see him as somebody who may turn out to be great, or may not—just like the #7 pick. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/splits?statsId=3520 breaks it down. 42.4% FG after the All-Star break. His final numbers were good primarily because of a kick-ass month of...

    O'Neal asks for trade

    Yes. That team would not win the championship.

    O'Neal asks for trade

    I think it’s pretty obvious that the team resulting from the proposed trade would not win the championship.

    What would you rather give up?

    No, I did not vote for Pat Buchanan. Thanks for asking.

    What would you rather give up?

    Crap. I accidentally pressed the wrong button. I would rather give up JJ and keep the pick. The pick isn’t a sure thing, but then, neither is JJ. The pick also has the advantage of being locked in to rookie scale for four years, compared to only one for JJ. Indeed, JJ is going to be a...

    O'Neal asks for trade

    Oh, great. Marion has about 10 quality years ahead of him. JJ likewise. The #7 pick has his whole career ahead of him. You think it’s rational to trade all of that for one or two years of Shaq leading us to the first round of the playoffs? You think that’s the kind of legacy the C’s want...

    Is the draft going to determine the FAs we sign?

    No way. Hang onto the pick. If we sign Kobe, we can probably trade Eisley for a poopy-contract big man. That makes a lot more sense than trading away a lottery pick to clear $7M in cap room to make a free-agent run at big men like, uh... Well, assuming that Marcus Camby and Rasheeed...

    O'Neal asks for trade

    I have a better idea: let’s all dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades.

    O'Neal asks for trade

    A lot of things. That’s one of them. Shaq might improve attendance a little in the short run, but not as much as you probably think. I’m willing to bet that they still wouldn’t sell out most games. Whatever the impact on attendance in the short run, just about any alternative course of...

    Shaq = Barkley

    The greatest reason the deal “worked” is that we were already an elite team before the trade, and looked to Barkley to take that elite team over the top. We did not ask him to turn a 29-win team into a champion. Also, we were able to sign Ainge to replace Hornacek, and draft Oliver Miller to...

    O'Neal asks for trade

    Trade exceptions can ony be used in trades, not to sign free agents (except sign-and-trade, of course). At any rate, I remain completely uninterested in trading for Shaq.

    Trade Proposal (sorry)...

    Even if the Lakers were willing to do this, I wouldn’t want to.

    O'Neal asks for trade

    Shaq and Duncan? Wow! You can just picture Karl Malone going, “Ooh! Ooh! Take me too! Please!”

    Kobe to extend with Lakers, Shaq tradable, LA wants Jackson

    I wouldn’t really care who wins. I’d just watch the battle, have a beer and some popcorn, and enjoy the action.

    Kiss TMac good bye, too!

    Wow. A couple of years ago, somebody asked Amare if he had ever met TMac. Amare answered that yes, he had met him, once, for about two minutes, and he thought that TMac was kinda rude. Are you aware of some “negative history” besides this, or do you think that this might have anything to...

    T-Mac wants out

    I personally like the idea of a Livingston-Kobe-TMac-Amare-Maciej lineup. We could call it the Stay-in-School Squad. :rolleyes:
