His sense of humor is unmatched.
That's very true.. i especially liked the one when he said "i love to run the floor, if i don't get the defensive rebound i'll try to be the first guy down the floor on offense"
but in all seriousness, I feel no ill will towards the big guy, and I do feel a little sad and icky hearing him call the Suns "his team"... but yeah, it's time to move on and this really accelerates our rebuilding process. He'll always be one of my favorite players for helping us win the chip in 06 and i will personally root for him and the Suns this year.

I wanted to trade Shaq for Garnett somehow back when I heard Garnett would be traded for sure, but this is a nice deal for us now.
Marion can run the floor as good as any forward out there, its time for our offense to run and forget about the old slow down junk we were forced to play with Shaq.
The Matrix, he has always been one of my favorite players cuz he is exciting and athletic, plus he has an all-around game. Score, rebound, defend.
Wade, Cook, Davis, Marion, Wright and most of our players are all better on the run.
We will win a ton more games with this team now, so we will lose the best chance at #1-3 pick, but we will still be ion the lottery so who knows, may get lucky.
I'm really excited about this trade, it is a win in every way for us. Shaq is useless for Miami this year and in the future. Good luck Shaq, thanks for helping get the ring and thanks for getting us Marion and saving us money.

Good luck with the Matrix guys. Riley's a such a friggin genius when it comes 2 trades, wish Kerr had more of that
If u guys keep him I'm sure you'll be in the playoffs again next season, or who knows, maybe he'll even save ur season and turn the Heat around the same way the GSW/Indiana trade totally flipped around the Warriors season last year (and the Wariors are in the West)
He'll always be 1 of my fav playas in the NBA, no matter where he goes.
His work ethic and fitness asre outta this world, and he does basically every single thing posisible on a b-ball court whether it's post defense, perimeter defense, mid-range jumpers, treys, positioning in transition or on defense.
Only thing he can't do is handle the rock, but his insane sense of positioning more then makes up for it
U guys will love the Matrix, and I'll miss him like hell

this trade is SO wierd in that both teams like it but are sad to see the other players go
also on both teams boards there is alot of mutual support hoping the other team does well
i dont like watching shaq play myself, so havent liked the heat lately, hopefully the suns system can make shaq more fun again.... who knows, but what i do know is that im definately looking forward to watching the heat more now and i really hope you do well
marion and wade on the break is going to be exciting!
good luck

Marcus Banks Draft Profile (13th Overall, 2003)
http://nbadraft.net/profiles/marcusbanks.htm
Strengths: Defensively he has NBA skills as he is blessed with quick hands and solid lateral quickness ... Has a unique NBA ready body that is both strong and sturdy ... Can seemingly drive to the lane at will thanks to his great hesitation crossover move that gives him good separation from his defender ... Once in the lane he has the uncanny ability to hang in the air and wait for the defense to commit before making his move ... Excellent rebounder for his size ... After he gets the ball he really looks to initiate the fast break ... Once he penetrates into the lane he is a hard player to stop as he is able to rely on his biggest asset which is the drive and dish ... Has developed solid leadership skills often he is a steady influence over his teammates ...Thanks to his wonderful court vision and creativity he has the ability to make difficult passes with pinpoint precision ...
Weakness: Height will become a big question for him come draft day. Although listed at 6-2, upon appearance he looks to be closer to 6-0 to 6-1 ... At this point Banks is not a very efficient shooter from the perimeter as he struggles with consistency ... Due to his height he is a post-up target for bigger guards who usually can get position on him ... Can get frustrated on offense if his shot isn't failing which usually leads to him taking questionable shots ... Still needs to work on developing into a better shooter off the dribble ... Decision making when the ball is in his hands has been vastly improved since last year but turnovers still can plague him at times ... Still learning as a point guard how to control the tempo of a game better ... Still learning how to make players around him better but to his credit he is steadily improving in this aspect of the game ...

I think At 2.9 million he is a decent Backup PG. Resign Davis 3 yrs 9 million. And you have nice backup's. Include DQ and the only thing we are missing at the G Position is A STARTING PG. SF we have Dorrel as a running SF and Ricky and Matrix can back him up. PF Haslem and Matrix , Johnson. The only flaws i can see are finding a Big man and PG

if you guys go back youll find that ive proposed banks to miami deals both here and on the suns boards quite a few times, mainly becuase i think he is PERFECT as a wade backup
we wanted him to become a running, 3 point shooter, not going to happen, but he can replace wade for 10-15 per game, playing the same style, taking it to the rack, pesky defender, etc
i virtually guarantee suns fans will be saying "where was this banks in phoenix" because ive always been a firm believer that banks is far better than he showed in phoenix
i think you guys will get the best out of him
