The drama level just increased x10.
ancient
damn the Suns might be older than the Spurs now
In 2004-2005, Nash's first year back with the Suns, Phoenix had the youngest team in the league. With the addition of Shaquille, I believe we're now the oldest (or easily 2nd oldest).
And this current Laker squad will be the Suns' es until they eliminate Phoenix in the playoffs.
To the answer the question, though... yes, the rivalry just skyrocketed. I can't think of a better way to solidify the rivalry than to add Shaquille O'Neal to a team that the Lakers already hate (a team that's beaten them two years in a row). With the Lakers' new acquisitions and Bynum's emergence, it's going to be a great, great game every time they meet. Can't ing wait.
the Lakers.

This current Laker squad will mop the floor with PHX if they meet in the playoffs.
The fact that the Suns traded Marion for Shaq proves how scared less they are of the Lakers. In fact if I told you during the offseason that Marion would be moved for Shaq you'd prob. die of laughter.
The suns will always be the lakers Scared es until they get off the goose egg for les won!
Was there a Suns/Faker rivalry?
Until we advance further or beat the Suns in the playoffs, the suns are better. Now adding Shaq (who's good buddies with Kobe now) will add to the drama no doubt.
It will be for Laker fans, as they will wax the Suns' asses with ease, as will the rest of the elite teams in the league. This was a TERRIBLE trade for Phoenix.
Mavs fans know terrible playoff basketball.
Not as much as the Suns. When did you exactly beat the Spurs?
Yeah, dating back to the 70's. It's not just a team rivalry, but a city and state rivarly too.
stretch: "can't win without interior defense or rebounding"
Suns get a guy who fills both those voids.
stretch: "turrrable, just turrable."
Who the are you to talk about terrible playoff basketball, Sunfan? Last time I checked, your team (Nash-Marion-Amare) never went as far as ours did. At least when the Mavs lost, they didn't bite pillows and whine about how unfwair it was.
The Mavericks set the standard for whining about how unfair it was.
And the answer to the original question is yes. The rivalry just got kicked up a notch.
During the Nash era, this is not a rivalry. Both teams have to beat the other in the playoffs for it to be called that. It is just alot of hate but it's not a rivalry. Now if the Lakers beat the Suns in May, then this becomes a rivalry. This trade is a huge risk the Suns are taking. I would say the Spurs and Lakers will decide who is coming out of the west this year.
Division teams can be rivals. Playoff matchups just make the rivalry better.
Bull they did. Whatever might have been said in the locker room, they didn't fail to give the Heat credit for winning that series or keep going on and on months later about how unfair it was that the League was out to get them. And there was no whining about being outplayed by the Warriors. Seriously, Cuban is not Hitler. You might want to try rationality and reason some time.
Rivalry in the Nash era and the Lakers rebuilding era, wtf? The Lakers HAVE beaten the Suns before in the Playoffs and lead the series in the playoffs. They are our es! Little Scary ass es at that!
I wanted to watch a first round Suns/Lakers matchup again just for the Jackson/D'Antonio fights.
But now, Wow. Can't wait and hoping it is the first round (doubt it).
What rivalry? Suns won both playoff series. It a one-side domination until the Lakers beat the Suns. The LA vs Boston IS a rivalry, tho.
Okay, dip . Dwayne Wade has been treated with the respect he deserves by Maverick fans. Sports talk radio in Dallas doesn't suggest that Dallas got screwed by the refs or suggest that any of Wade's trips to the foul line were less than legitimate. That the Suns fans are the worst whiners in history doesn't change the fact that Mavericks fans are second.
