Good analysis here. I tend to agree, the Suns have given up hope, and this trade will haunt them.
It's ironic, they gave up their best defender (Marion) for a guy who used to be able to clog the middle and rebound. But Shaq is a terrible defender, even in his heyday. There's a reason the guy has never been DPOY or even made the All-Defense team. And if any team needed their chemistry and lives and dies by its chemistry, it's the Suns.
The Suns have officially thrown in the towel.

Yeah, they really could have helped themselves out more by signing Damon Stoudamire.
Seriously, though, throwing in the towel???
Know much about basketball?
Apparantly not. See if you're successful. Good luck...you'll need it ;-)
The Suns will unveil their new system in a few days. Let four guys run up and down the floor, while one fat one stays back for the snowbird.
I wonder if they got the memo that Shaq can't run anymore without oxygen breaks.
I say this I do have doubts about this deal but............ Chemistry hopefully should improve now that Marion and Stoudemire are no longer teammates. Secondly Nash will figure it out how to get Shaq involved after he made Tim Thomas look like an All Star caliber in Thomas's year in Phoenix. Plus Shaq would help in playoffs when the game slows down. Double team who? Leave Nash and Barbosa alone at the 3 point line to double Shaq? Leave Amare unguarded? Lets see how it fits.
Ohh man, can you imagine a Suns vs Lakers playoff series now?!?!
Hey now, Phoenix wanted him too.
I do think that this moves seriously hampers the Suns chances. That team is built to run and gun, Shaq is built to stumble and heave.
i knew the gasol trade would cause phoenix to bricks, i expect dallas to make a panic trade next. unless d'antoni changes his offensive philosophy, this trade makes no sense. shaq is a half-court player, there is no way he play run and gun ball at this point in his career. i really don't see any upside with this trade.
I think Dallas will now pull the trigger on the Jason Kidd deal. Not a bad one for them and certainly not as desperate a move as what Phx did.
I did not beleive this so I had to check ESPN.
I am shocked. It sounds like a bad dream for sun fan
Maybe the Suns want to play more half-court basketball, because the run and gun + older Steve Nash are catching up.
We're just gonna make excuses like we always do.
^
what an insane trade.
7 Seconds Or Less? Shaq won't get to halfcourt in 7 seconds or less.
We will just make the excuses we are supposed to make.
By the time Shaq gets to the opponent's basket, 3 possessions will have been run.
I really just can't believe the Suns would do this, esp midseason. They're still #1 in the West, did they forget that? This move just reeks of panic. Yikes.
Just because a depleted Spurs team beat tham on their home floor.
Knee-jerk reaction
I was expecting a Phoenix meltdown after they lost to the Spurs, but I didn't think their meltdown would include acquiring an old, out of shape, injured center.
This is madness!
ESPN keeps saying they might have done this to keep Dallas from getting Diesel?
I don't buy that. You don't ruin your team just to keep another team from ruining theirs.
So it's official.
The Phoenix Suns organization officially has no idea what it's doing.
Apparently they think this is NBA2k8 or something.
