I was just watching Mike And Mike and they said the Heat agreed to send Shaq to the Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks pending a physical and league approval like I warned yesterday. I can't believe the Heat did this, but I guess its a move for the future so when Shawn Marion leaves in the offseason it frees up cap room for free agent signings and they'll obviously have a lottery draft pick in June. More importantly they need to fix this roster up so D-Wade doesn't leave in free agency after next season. I just don't see how this trade helps the Suns at all.
As of 9:32 am ESPN still hasn't posted it on their website (and neither has NBA.com or Fox Sports.com), but I'll take Greeny and Golic's word for it. Plus, it scrolled at the bottom as "breaking news" lol.

Heat Looking To Trade Shaq??
That's what I just read on MSN.com's Fox Sports News, though I had to go to ESPN.com to confirm lol. It says that the Heat were talking to Phoenix about possibly trading Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for The Diesel. [FULL STORY]
My question is why in the hell would the Suns do this??? You have the best record in the West (2nd best in the lead) and Shaq is too hurt and/or old to play in the Heat's system so why would he be of any service to you?? Then on the other hand, why would the Heat do this?? I know Shaq is basically of no service to you, but damn at least let the nigga ride out the rest of his career. I mean after all, he did bring you a champion just 2 years ago. You guys knew he was aging when you brought him here and gave him that extension and now you wanna trade him??? Keep in mind, its not Shaq's fault the rest of the roster is fucked. Shaq didn't trade Antoine Walker for Ricky Davis. Shaq didn't let James Posey, Jason Kapono, and Eddie Jones go in free agency. Shaq didn't sign Penny Hardaway and Smush Parker in the off season (neither of whom are on the roster anymore). Simple put, ITS NOT ALL SHAQ'S FAULT!!
