The Phoenix Suns are in the process of bringing one of the best centers in NBA history to their team. If Shaquille O’Neil can pass his physical, then he will be traded to the Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.
I don’t know if this is a good idea or a bad idea. Can Shaq run with the Suns? Can Shaq at the age of 36 still compete at the highest level to win a championship? Is he healthy enough to be a factor in the playoffs?
All of these questions will need to be answered. I think that this could be the what the Suns need to get to the NBA Finals. Shaq has four rings and wants a fifth. He brings leadership and someone who can match-up with Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs and twin towers of Pau Gosal and Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers. This could be a good move for the Suns or it will blow up in their face. Let’s hope that Shaq is healthy and that he is the missing link.
I think the Suns were fine, because if it wasn’t for Robert Horry and Tim Donaghy the Suns would of won the championship last year. If this trade happens then Amare would move to the power forward position were he is more effective. Grant Hill and Boris Diaw will play the small forward position and Bell and Barbosa will share the two guard spot. I’m will be glad to see Banks go so that the Suns can utilize D.J. Strawberry as the back-up point guard. Let’s see how this all goes down.
