Waiting for DoK.
The trade of Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday was more than just a contract dump for the Phoenix Suns.
It also was done to satisfy point guard Steve Nash.
According to an NBA source, Nash expressed his displeasure with O'Neal during a meeting last week in New York with general manager Steve Kerr.
Nash, still one of the best point guards in the NBA, will become a free agent after this season if the Suns can't sign him this summer to a contract extension.
"I think he told him [Kerr] that if O'Neal was there, he wouldn't be around much longer,'' said the NBA source who requested his name not be used. "That pretty much sealed it.''
Nash had grown weary of O'Neal's inability to keep up with the fast-paced play that the Suns had been so successful with in the past and with O'Neal's demand to be a bigger part of the offense.

Oh and
This should increase DoK's nash love to new levels. Not a surprise though.
DoK, come on down!
I already knew this.
Anticlimax
It's not a coincidence Nash and Kerr had a "meeting" in New York less than a week ago discussing what it would take for Nash to sign an extension.
I don't even know why PHX would want to re-sign on of the players on the roster. When it's time to blow it up, blow it up.
So unselfish. The consummate team player. Who wouldn't wanna play with this guy?
Nash is such a nice guy!!! What a great leader!!! I love having players on the Suns who stab their teammates in the back!!!!
What's funny about this is Nash went behind Marion's back 16 months ago to get him traded for Shaq, and now he wants Shaq traded??? Make up your mind Canadian cancer.....which players do you want traded?
What's funny is I bet half the people who read my posts thought I'm a nut case blindly hating on Nash calling him a cancer who gets teammates traded, it turns out I'm not so wrong.
Sarver is so concerned with saving money, Kerr is useless. The way this team is run, he should just make Nash player/GM. It's time Nash stops hiding behind Kerr and starts taking blame for the personnel decisions he has engineered.
Duh. Nash can't get hype and win in a halfcourt team with a post scorer like Shaq
Nash wants 7 seconds of less back so he can have a shot at another MVP. that's pretty much the only trophy he can possibly win
Suns and mavs fans just have it bad right now...
2-time MVP trumps 1-time MVP.
It's only fair.
Nash had grown weary of O'Neal's inability to keep up with the fast-paced play that the Suns had been so successful with in the past and with O'Neal's demand to be a bigger part of the offense.
Go light yourself on fire.
that's pretty much the only trophy he can possibly win
That's also the only trophy he cares about winning.
3 times finals MVP > 0 times finals MVP.
Just waitin' for Shaq to verbally smack Steve Nash
Yup. And "having fun" >>>>>> Winning.
Tell me how my ass taste, eh?
That's Nash's golden basketball rule.
I know LA fans criticize Shaq for making comments about teams after he leaves, but as far as Nash goes, he deserves a comment Shaq is probably going to make.
