A Hollywood Ending for Shaq and Kobe? (http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11535)

This weekend in Phoenix we will see Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson all reunited for the first time since the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons in The NBA Finals in 2004. It marked the end of a highly successful but also highly tumultuous run for the trio.

Almost five years ago, no one could even imagine the three on a basketball court working toward the same cause. The emotions at the time simply ran too high.

Time, however, tends to heal most wounds.

Just recently O'Neal told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3873700) the whole squabble between he and Bryant was simply "marketing," later adding, "I always did love Kobe."

Anyone else feel like the big guy is angling for a reunion that might last longer than the few hours it will take to play Sunday's All-Star Game? And with Andrew Bynum out for the rest of the regular season and everyone not named Steve Nash on the trading block in Phoenix, what better time for it?

On the surface it sounds like an intriguing idea. The problem is that O'Neal is making $20 million this season and will make the same again next season. The Lakers are perennially one of the NBA's biggest spenders, but it would be hard to see even the Lakers absorbing that kind of price tag in this kind of economic climate.

Moreover, the Lakers would have to part with too many pieces to make a deal with the Suns work financially. Since Pau Gasol is untouchable Lamar Odom would almost certainly have to be part of the deal for it to work financially... yes, the same Lamar Odom who dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers last Sunday. In addition to Odom, the Lakers would also have to give up at least two other players for the salaries to work. Given the way the Lakers are playing, that would simply be too much for the Lakers to give up.

From a sentimental perspective it's fun to think about O'Neal coming back to Los Angeles. And given the kind of shape he's in and how well he's been playing, he could be just the kind of inside presence the Lakers need to assure another title for the Lakers come June.

All that said, a return to Tinseltown for O'Neal appears very unlikely. At the very least O'Neal's recent rhetoric is posturing to make sure his number 34 one day hangs in the rafters in Staples Center next to greats like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson.

And who knows, perhaps the Lakers might be able to pick him up when he's a free agent in the summer of 2010 or even next summer if the Suns get crazy and decide to buy him out after this season to help shave some money off their cap. At that point, though, there's no guarantee O'Neal will be playing at the level he is now and Andrew Bynum will have likely developed his game even further and might be lacing up his sneakers for an All-Star appearance.

If there were ever a place where we could script this kind of ending, though, it would of course be Los Angeles.

Too crazy to imagine?

Well, Hollywood endings always seem to be.
