Why would the Suns want Shaq? He would slow your team down big time.

It was on Espn breaking News. They are in a serious talk. Suns are panicking for sure after the Gasol trade. Shaq is good for 6 hard fouls though and it will be more fun.

Can they at least throw in Haslem and we'll throw in Barbs instead of Banks..

if the suns trade for shaq, i quit. i would rather become a lakers fan and sport a horry jersey, than watch the suns with shaq.

i could deal with just about any other player on earth. i would rather get my bore punched than see shaq in a suns jersey.

i would rather cut the webbing between each of my fingers and toes, than watch shaq in a suns jersey.

i would rather..........oh damn i would rather do anything than see him in a suns jersey.

Why are the suns always rumored to be trading Marion? Is he some sort of malcontent? I don't get it. This wouldn't even cut costs for $aver

That's what happens when a team makes 3 or 4 runs at a title and doesn't get over the hump. It's tough when your highest paid player isn't your 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd scoring option.

It would add $10m over the next 3 seasons. It may help them get over the SA hump however.

Stein already called it "Bogus" ... don't listen to dumb rumors.

Funny, because just as the show was finishing they brought Stein back and he said the deal was legit.

You wanna bet on this that it won't happen?

ESPN is horrific at rumors, Stein prob told the truth, then ESPN forced his ass back on TV to make him say its legit so they get hits on their site and ppl watchin their terrible coverage on sportscenter, nba fastbreak.

Yawn

As an LA fan, I bet you think we're scrambling to make a move and we're scared of you guys :rofl:

Trusting anything Stein says or the bile that Bucher spews would be a bad thing to do. Just wait til Paul coro or the miami herald break it.

No, I was just posting so no one would believe your misinformed information. Funny how you where running around with the Stein said it isn't going to happen, but now ESPN is making him change what he said. Whatever you say buddy. And you're damn right you'll need to make a move if you want to compete with us, but that's a different issue.

BTW- Along with your source here and the one on the Miami board, this deal sounds like it's going through very soon, maybe tomorrow.

Hasn't anyone learned their lesson from the rumors at the beginning of the season?

Black Jesus 1 · Post #19 » by **Black Jesus 1** » Wed Feb 6, 2008 3:32 am

This is the same group of people (ESPN) that fell for the cell phone call to Allen Iverson last season during a game..they called someone else and they thought they had AI on phone hahahahaah

and then this past summer with all the horrific, fake Amare rumors

If Coro ain't sayin' it, I aint believin' it.
