My rockets will always have a place for you DOK.
And if Amare or Nash come over it will be just like your own team
everything. Next season is going to suck watching a 25 win team that doesn't even have its own pick. A few years ago I hated it when people felt sorry for Suns fans, now I feel sorry for myself. This is in ridiculous.

This only means the Cavs will implode... A la Shaq touch.
Cavs really just got slower. Good luck with that.
I feel bad for you man. At least when you have a pick you can look forward to getting someone good and hope that they will be your savior. Without a pick things must seem pretty hopeless.
Thanks sook, but if I decide to jump on a bandwagon for the next 5 inevitable ty years, it'll either be the Thunder or whatever team signs Grant Hill. I'm done cheering for Nash and his got behavior.
And thanks GBS.
As revenge against your team and city, you should become a die-hard Laker fan. The timing is perfect. Besides, were only 6 hours away from you, 4 1/2 if you drive my car.
Now they have a big man who's not a piece of .....still think they need another guard who can score.
Hopefully "FBI Kerr" is getting the pick back so I can stop being such a whiny got and have something to look forward to.
I tried to give Kerr the benefit of the doubt for as long as humanly possible, just assumed someone I enjoyed on commentary so much couldn't be this God-awful. I've enjoyed my fair share of Suns' mockery, but now I just feel awful for you guys.
Didn't he say something along the lines of "If this doesn't work I'm an idiot" ?
Exactly I did as well.....up until this off season I didn't blame anything on him, but now this got has crossed the line. He's probably going to announce a 10 year Nash extension tomorrow.
Shaq is going the Ewing/Olajuwan route of winding down his career and being tossed around.
He deserves better than this.
Deal awaiting final owner approval
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns have come to an agreement on a blockbuster trade that sends Shaquille O'Neal to Cleveland to team with LeBron James, according to sources.
The deal has been agreed to in principle and is expected to be finalized Thursday, according to sources.
Cleveland will send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix for the future Hall of Famer.
The trade gives the Cavs a player they've coveted since February. With center Zydrunas Ilgauskas starting to break down, adding Shaq to the roster gives them a dominant force in the middle. The Cavs were obviously unhappy with their ability to defend Dwight Howard in the playoffs and bringing Shaq into the fold should help.
For the Suns, the move is a straight salary dump. Pavlovic's $5 million dollar contract next season is only partially guaranteed for the amount of $1.5 million. Factor in the disparities in the contracts between Wallace, Pavlovic and Shaq and the team will save $4.5 milliion next season. However, when you factor in the savings they'll reap on the luxury tax, it will be closer to $10 million in savings. That savings can be amplified if Wallace decides to retire and the Suns buy him out of his contract for less than the $14 million he's owed next season.
The trade is a pretty strong admission by the Suns that they screwed up when they traded Shawn Marion for Shaq in February of 2007. Marion was a free agent this summer and, had they let him walk, their savings would've been $21 million not the $5.5 million they're saving in this deal.
When the Suns made the trade they had the best record in the Western Conference. This year they finished in the lottery. With Shaq gone, the question is ... are the Suns finally rebuilding?
Sources say that the team would still like to compete. They still have veterans Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson and Leandro Barbosa. They also have the 14th pick in the draft this year and second year player Robin Lopez.

Or the Shaq v. Kobe final hype?
Need moar one sided trades.
Think it was something like, "If it works I'm a genius, if it doesn't I'm an idiot."
LA. He's a perfect fit in the triangle.
No, he really doesn't.
Wow that sucks for you DoK. I really feel sorry for you. But at least ur a true fan to ur team. I wouldnt blame you though if u did change teams.
Like it's gonna make a difference. They still ain't going nowhere next year. Shaq can't guard Howard.
Just change to the Thunder. No one would blame you at this point, and they need representation on this board.
I can't change teams. Sarver said that if things didn't get better he'd sell the team soon. I gotta at least hold out for that. It's gotten to a point though where I wonder if the team deserves support from the fans who watch them no matter how much they suck.
Shaq found out he got traded on twitter.
