Shaq for Marion Deal in the works
03:58 PM PST By dmgeist
This is hot off the press and the Suns would get Shaq for Marion and Marcus Banks.
This would make Shaq a better buy with playoff games involved and Marion would be a good short without the opportunity for playoff games to earn.
Here is the link:
The Miami Heat have told Shaquille O'Neal and his representation that they should be prepared for him to be traded in the near future.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Phoenix has discussed sending forward Shawn Marion and point guard Marcus Banks to the Heat in return for O'Neal. Shaq's representatives said they have been made aware that discussions with Phoenix are serious and ongoing, but that a deal was not definite.
Marion can opt out of his contract worth $17.1 million at the end of the season. And if he opts out, the Heat would then have substantial salary cap space this offseason, when potential free agents include Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Elton Brand, Marion, Antawn Jamison, Ron Artest and Corey Maggette. Stay tuned. Feb. 5 - 6:30 pm et

MIA might want to trade him, but there is no effing way PHX would want him. Set aside the fact that Sarver has ordered Kerr to stay/reduce salaries, how in the does a broken down Shaq keep up with the seven seconds or less crew? It takes Shaq seven seconds to to recover from a dunk these days.
Doubt Phoenix does that deal.
If they do, cool, one less perimiter threat to worry about.
What would Shaq look like in a Suns uni?
Photoshop?
He would look like Oliver Miller.
i would get shaq
he needs to get out of miami, where there is too much distractions with his divorce there.
he will be great in PHX but would change the whole style of PHX if u ask me.
great move by Miami if they can dump his salary
Please.he will be great in PHX but would change the whole style of PHX if u ask me
His knees and feet are shot.
Shaq doesnt even play agressive anymore.
Marion would be a fool to opt out, if traded. He'll never see anything close to $17.1M again. That's why I think this trade has zero chance to go down. If Miami wants out of Shaq's fat deal, they should actually trade for expiring contracts, not hopefully he'll opt outs.
Why would he opt out? To get a long term deal. An extra 10 mil next year vs 60-70 long term? You do the math.
nobody is giving Marion 60-70million.
a new book le has just been copyrighted tonight! "17 seconds or more"
No one is gonna give him the same money genius.Why would he opt out? To get a long term deal. An extra 10 mil next year vs 60-70 long term? You do the math.
hed be lucky to get 5 years at 9 mill per.
in Udoka...
Miami won't give it to him. They're looking to SHED salary by 2010 so that they can be a FA player to prevent DWade from bolting. Shawn Marion is a limited player on the wrong side of 30. Only his agent ( and apparently you) thinks he would get anyone's caproom and not an MCE deal.
Literally LOL on that one!
bout 10-11 a year? I think that's the most anyone would give him. Not 60-70 then. 3-4 year deal maybe based on his age or 5 the most.
That's good.
No one is giving him $10M per year. It just isn't happening. There are usually maybe 2-3 teams a year with ANY caproom. Are they going to waste it on a 31 YO fast break finisher with no individual game?
It was just a guess...Based on how overpaid some of these players are it was just a ball park guess.
hahahahahahahja
Those days are over. Teams haven't been overpaying older players other than occasionally their own, like Shaq, which is why I think Miami may have learned their lesson.
See: Wells, Bonzi; Sprewell, Latrell
why not? someone gave shard lewis 110 million
