IMO the Suns should only trade Amare for KG or Dwight...

I don't know how Amare would work with Yao, but I'd love to try it.

that trade for Miami would be GREAT, Marion and Bealey for Amare.

Raps pass on all the Bosh offers. Only one I'd consider would be AP, CB4 for Amare and Barbosa even though I doubt we do it.

IMO the Suns should only trade Amare for KG or Dwight... PHX is looking for a salary dump. Trading Amare for another star with a massive contract isnt going to solve their problems.

You mention how Shaq would only want to play for a contender, and then you list the Knicks as a possible destination?!?!?! Why must you mock me?

Trading Amare for another star with a massive contract isnt going to solve their problems. well Shaq and Nash are already going to expire in the year that thers going to be some nice FAs...and they will probably retire together so they should keep their best player so the can get a great FA to put together with Amare/JRich...cuz rebuilding now isnt the best idea...they have old guys that arent worth so much

Well to make you happy Dallas I honestly don't think the Lakers would EVER trade for Shaq (that would leave them with a Bynum, Gasol, and Shaq front court). I do like the trade of Shaq going to New Orleans, a Tyson Chandler and Amare front court would be pretty good plus Chandler isn't much of an offensive guy so that would leave more shot chances for Amare making him at least a little happier.

Bynum is out for the year? The ONLY trades that make any sense is trading Shaq to LA (for Odom and Sasha) and maybe Cleveland (for Wally, JJ Hickson, and Pavlovic or maybe Snow's contract?) Not sure if they can trade Snow's contract but anyways those 2 the only two that make sense to me. Kerr is going to get laughed out of the league if he trades Kidd for Shaq then cuts Kidd, and I can't seen them trading Amare. Maybe for West or Beasley but just giving him away (for Yi and all that shit) is just absurd. Phoenix is VERY poorly coached, they should be going to Amare in the post not Shaq. They need to decide if they want to run and gun or play half court, I honestly think they should either ride it out or get get Odom.

As far as I know Bynum is only out 6 to 8 weeks (which could be all year) but he'll be back next year and they'll still be stuck with two starting centers and one of them is making 20 mill a season. So honestly I think hell will freeze over before the Lakers trade for Shaq unless they trade Bynum

So honestly I think hell will freeze over before the Lakers trade for Shaq unless they trade Bynum Shaq already said he was retiring this year and they could trade his 20 M to another team after this year. It would be one final stand for Shaq, bringing back the glory days and seeing if they can get it done one last time. If LA wants toughness, Shaq would bring they. ONLY draw back I see is Shaq would have to understand that indeed it is "2009 not 1999" and understand GASOL is the go to guy in the post not him.

He told he was going to retire next year, when his contract ends. On the other hand, he mentioned he wouldn't mind playing for the Lakers again after this contract ends IIRC.

He has 2 years left on his deal, and he said he was done after this year.

if this happens this is a WORSE trade then the Gasol one, cause ATLEAST MEM got cap space, M. Gasol and Darrell Arthur from that trade.
here's another Shaq trade I thought of
PHX SENDS: Shaq, Nash, Dragic PHX RECEIVES: Marbury, Duhon, Camby
NYK SENDS: Duhon, Marbury, Malik Rose NYK RECEIVES: Shaq, Nash
LAC SENDS: Camby LAC RECEIVES: Dragic, Malik Rose
for NYK they can be a sleeper contender this year AND this won't hurt them at ALL as both of their contracts come off the book after next season
for PHX they get CAP SPACE they wanted and decent replacements who can play some DEFENSE with Camby and Duhon
for LAC they get a BACKUP PG who can give B-Diddy rest and be there long-term after Jason Hart's contract expires, and this gives DeAndre Jordan more playing time and a chance to develop more as a player, and M. Rose can give Z-Bo some rest as well.

The Suns would get expiring Wally, upcoming Hickson, and a pick...how is that worse than Kwame Brown and Gasol?
