he is just saying this because pheonix is not gonna make the playoffs, didnt he do the same with miami when they started sucking?
Shaq, Nash, Amare, JRich
I expect two of these four players to be in different uniforms next season. If I had to guess, I'd say JRich and Shaq are the two most likely to go. JRich has really done nothing in place of Diaw and Bell since he got here, getting arrested twice, and playing really lousy D. Shaq is unhappy, and an unhappy Shaq can be a bad thing.
At this point, it'll be hard to ship Amare out with the nature of his injury, and Nash will probably run out the rest of his contract.
The only two players on the Suns that I consider untradeable are Barbosa and Louis Amundson... two role players.

That JRich trade really ed us. Boris Diaw would be so ing great to have right now.
And now the Bobcats, who were a laughingstock before the trade, are probably going to make the playoffs and the Suns probably won't.
I know they wanted to get rid of Raja Bell but to sacrifice Diaw...I guess it was more about money. Diaw's contract was too extravagant for his on and off court appearances.
Diaw's contract doesn't look so bad with Amare out. And it looks even better compared to what JRich really brings to this team.
And I know Raja Bell was complaining, but he's Raja ing Bell. Dude reached hero status in 2006. Trading him was a shot to the gut.
Raja was acting way too important...off season talking about he isn't coming back until he gets some serious extension. I guess guarding Kobe really made him think he was in the same calibre.
he will do the buyout since its a 20 mill contract. then mle for a team like the lakers? 2010 concerns so nobody would offer him any decent money
Shaq is gay
Dampier has a lot of upside and length, which you just can't teach. Stack would come in handy to light a fire in case the power goes out.
3rd player could be Barea since he is really just the man-child of Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. (Seriously, think about it - if Nash and Kidd had a baby, it not only would have an overall similar build to JJ, but everyone knows that a famous athlete's son never quite measures up, so JJ is simply a fundamentally sound PG, but won't beat his wife or wear recycled Nike's.)
We love our team!
Upside? The guy's almost 34 and has been in the league for 13 years.
If Isaiah was still around, he's be on the Knicks in a second.
It could be true. I'm sure he's pissed he won't be in the playoffs.
He just wants out because he feels the need to throw more people he's played with or for under the bus. He wants Nash and Amare to taste his ass too.
Classic Shaq.
Same story, different Shaq tour stop. Good luck, big fella. BeeGee still has love.
sincerely I hope it's not only a rumor but a piece of truth. Mavs have the worst in-paint power among the 8 playoff teams in the west, and that's precisely why our team is ranking at 8. Spurs have upgraded their 4/5 by signing gooden and lakers will also have a much more powerful paint for the postseason after bynum comes back. Rockets have yao and scola in the paint and portland also has plenty of decent big guys like aldridge and oden. Mavs only have two guys over 7' in Dirk and Dampier but Dirk doesn't feel comfortable when playing center, so Dampier is the only center on our team but his incompetence always limits his minutes to around 20. Postseason games are generally more physical than regular season games, thus a good center will be more important for a team than he is in the regular season. O'Neal has passed his prime for years but he still can play decently in some big games like all-star game. Our team is really in urgent demand for a center like shaq, hopefully Donnie Nelson will have 1 minute to be smart and sign him right after he gets waived.
In terms of shaq: Although shaq has already got 4 rings, he still has the ambition to get one more to rebuild an advantage over Duncan, after all the number of rings will never get too big for anyone. except mavs, all the other 7 playoff teams each have at least one good center on team so they don't have as much need for him as mavs do. It'll also be a good option for O'Neal to choose Dallas as his team with which he can win his 5th ring.

Sarcasm, man...
But when he gets angry he's been known to do things like win championships. If Shaq's not happy that's a good thing for Phoenix!
Do you really think so? I've always gotten the impression Tim doesn't really like Shaq much.
no, I would not want Shaq in the spurs. He is a big baby. Let someone else deal with his ass until he retires.
I like the big fellow. To bad there is a salary cap in the NBA. Lots of teams would like to have him but he is not worth 20 MIL hit to the cap
