I'll believe this when a source other than the LA times reports it.
The Los Angeles Times reported that center Shaquille O'Neal "is saying privately he wants out" of Phoenix because the Suns pondered trading him last month and/or because they returned to their up-tempo offense. He declined comment Monday morning.
"That's intangible stuff," guard Steve Nash said. "It's hard to quantify. I hope he's not unhappy. We just want him to be happy, feeling good about himself and ready to play."

Believe it...(trust me :-) ) He is just being a big kid tho...he has been pissy since after the deadline.
Didnt one of the S.A. media ask him if he would consider playing alongside Duncan in the Spurs? I think he kept saying "negative" while the guy was asking the question, then he stop and said something like "If we played together we could finish our career's with the same amount of rings..... I'll have to think about that."
Dont read too much into it, he was probably just joking, but you never know with Shaq. Spurs fans may not like it but Timmy, Pop and Shaq are pretty cool with eachother.
Shaq is letting his pride get the best of him plus...if suns were winning he would not care about them "pondering" about trading him. I just think he wants to be somewhere where the spotlight is.
i don't really...buy it
Should have pulled Stack+Damp+Scrub for Shaq
Even Kerr is smart enough to not touch Damp with a 10 foot pole.
I don't know why there were so many rumors about him "being traded to cavs". Suns were going for the blazers, they were not even thinking about the do-no-not-trade-within-conference bull.
Shaq on the MAVS would have made them bearable to watch. Would have been fun.
Does it really matter anymore?
Everyone on that team has officially given up. Shaq seemed like one of the few trying on both ends toward the end.
Where is he going to go with an albatross contract like that? It's recession time and there's only one Steve Kerr.
If he truly wants out he'll negotiate a buyout with the Suns for way under contract value and then sign for cheap somewhere else. Don't think he wants his freedom from the Sun that badly.
He just wants attention hence the Shaq hate tour plus this childish "hooow daaare theyyy THINK of trading meeeee!!!!!" It's like dude, did you not know you were in the NBA?
I'm so sure he only wants out because they used him as trade bait or because of the uptempo style. He wants out because the team sucks, theyre not gonna make the playoffs, and because he probably realizes now he can't lead a team like he used to, he's going to have to hop on a train somewhere from now on.
don't be so shocked. he is always the first one to want out when things go sour.
This isn't earth shattering news. The Big Egotistical has done this on every team he has played for. It's all good until he feels disrespected. Up next are all the comments how well he's playing and if they would have just given him more touches they would be playoff bound followed by trashing the organization, coaches, and a few cosen players. Been there.... Yawn!
I'm still laughing at the Mavs fan who thought the Suns would trade Shaq for the Eric Dampier poo poo platter.
I can't believe ...I'm nostalgic for the days of Marion .... even Marcus Banks in the bench seems like such a distant memory.
I never said the suns would do that... ?
Hopefully shaq will be in a lakers uniform next season.
K sorry, there's still an element of delusion if you're even thinking of the Mavs being able to deal Damp.
Kobe and his pet ego will make sure that never happens.
The Suns are probably trading him for the next Karl Malone (JJ Hickson) rather than buying him out, still, Shaq and Kobe > Shaq and LeBron.
Can you blame him LoL? He wants another ring before she calls it quits
