I would give analysis of the Shaq-Marion trade, but i think my buddy Aaron summed it up best when I was talking to him earlier today: the Suns gave every basketball writer in the country the opportunity to write their easiest story of the year. As the AP story proclaimed:
Phoenix, the NBA's fastest team, acquires slow, once-mighty giant -- Shaquille O'Neal
You know this trade is terrible when even the always sure to be neutral AP refers to Shaq as "slow" and "once-mighty."
This evens things out for the Warriors in the Pacific division. The Lakers' trade for Gasol makes them the prohibitive favorite, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors pass the Diesel powered Suns (don't the Suns know their offense runs best on high-octane? Sorry, that was atrociously corny). Though i will say I'm somewhat excited for a Shaq C-Dubb matchup so we can pretend its 1995 again.
Your youtube magic of the day: Shaq welcoming Yao to the NBA
And in all fairness I love Shaq and his sense of humor, I just think its riduculous the Suns are trading Marion for him.
