Shaq for Starbury would be useless, that'd be a pure salary dump. Shaq for J-Kidd, yeah.

Kinda makes me wonder how that first practice went (or will go) with Gentry, probably saying: "Ok, everything we've done in the last 5 months -- forget it."

Has there been any word from DB lately? Maybe I've just missed his info.

I hope Amare stays.. We got 31 games to play and we need Amare to be sharp and finally start grabbing rebounds.

Smart move. If you're going to trade Amare, it's better to do so around the draft.

I don't do that deal unless I know we will re-sign Lee. The main reason being, if it is purely a rental then I prefer Shaq under the basket IN the new system. Remember how Amar'e did next to Shaq under D'Antoni? Gentry will take some of Shaq's looks away from him in favor of the more-fastbreak-talented Amar'e. The P n' R between Nash and Amar'e will be a big factor in this. Conclusion: I actually don't want Shaq to leave unless we are talking about a better long-term solution that can bring a lot to the table defensively.

And about the topic, have you ever seen a trade happen where the talk beforehand didn't keep flip-flopping around? I can name you countless trades where in the previous week the GM said the player will "not be traded".

Kerr came to his senses.
