I dont think the Chicago Sun Time has yet to nail a rumor since I have been following basketball. Don't get your hopes up.

Dallas wants Shaq, so does Detroit. Go read their local medias. There is also rumor from Cleveland.

Saying no market for Shaq is plain ignorance.

I think what he is saying is there is no legit market for Shaq which is true. Teams are calling about Amare and Nash as well. They are offering crap.

Just because a team is willing to give up their crap for a player doesn't mean there is a market......unless your in the market for crap that is.

I would NEVER call a deal that nets you 20M US dollars as "crap". By 20M, you can sign a free agent by MLE for 4 years, thats how NOH got Posey and Orlando got Pietrus. By 20M you can buy a couple of draft picks. By 20M, you can extend Amare's service for 1 year.

That's not what you were talking about nor I. You said there was a market for Shaq. I said just because someone is offering you crap (meaning crap players) doesn't mean there is a market for Shaq. Regardless what cap space the Suns get in return, it doesn't mean you should trade him for crap players.

That's not a "market".... that's a fire sale with the Suns willing to take "whatever" back. That's what people were saying. There is a market for Amare. There isn't much of one for Shaq. Just a bunch of teams willing to throw in crap players and give this team cap space. Big difference.
