Reborn or not, as a Phoenix Sun, Shaquille O'Neal fit as well as he did as a jockey, dwarfing the horse he rides in that commercial.

Not that the Suns may have to worry much longer as playoffs hopes fade, with owner Robert Sarver, who faces a big tax bill, running around like Chicken Little.

Insiders say Shaq wants out. His recent tear came after reports he was almost traded.

Said teammate Grant Hill: "Shaq plays better when he's mad."

Hill also told the Orlando Sentinel, "I don't know whether everybody will be back or everybody will be gone. . . . If not, my agent will find a place to play."

We can't blame the guy considering he was almost traded for a bag of chips at the deadline, well goodluck Shaq. He has a huge 20M expiring deal so many teams would probally want that, wonder where he will go this summer?

I can't blame him for wanting out; the team has failed him this season more than he has failed them.

He will want to be traded to a contender if he leaves.

Him/LeBron would be awesome.

He probably wishes he just stayed in Miami because they would be contenders this year if he stayed there.

Also Sounds like Hill is saying if Shaq or probably Nash/Amar'e leaves, he will too.

Finally we agree on something Diesel..... but IMO the main prob here is that Shaq and Nash have 0 chemistry, they dont play well toghether at all, and i have seen Nash deny the ball to Shaq more then once in the last few games... im talking obvious denials just for him to take forced shots....

IMO Nash doesnt likes to play with Shaq either..... the experiment just didnt worked....

Yeah, Shaq has been playing the best game hes had in years. The team and FO has failed him. Not the other way around. I dont blame him for wanting out. Time to blow this team up and start over.

shaq has had a very good year, and that is good for us even if we don't make the playoffs. Maybe we can get something in retrun. This orgnization failed what he wanted to bring. Yes, he has been bad a times, but most likely, he will be traded to a contendar. He seems like he has had fun here, but he should want out. Same with nash and hill. Its time to start over.

"Insiders say Shaq wants out"

hahahahaha some insider! Does the "insider" have any suggestions of how Shaq can get out?

Shaq to Cleveland would be freaking awesome. Mike Brown wants to alleviate some of the offensive load from Lebron's shoulders and rest him a little? Hell, Mo Williams and Shaq is nasty enough, especially with other shooters.

Too late now.

When is the next trade dead line?

Teams can start talking trades again when the post-season starts.

i disagree. Nash's got a lot of mouths to feed and can't make everyone happy every trip down the floor. i don't think it's anything personal. Shaq is not the only player outthere that demands the ball. Barnes, Barbosa, JRich, Amare, Shaq all demand the ball. Plus Nash is gotta get in his shots from time to time as well.

trade Shaq to Cleveland in the Off-Season for Wallace, Hickson, and the 300-400k it woudl take to make the difference.

Amare does all the post scoring while Wallace happily does the dirty work, give JJ a decent amount of playing time and he will turn out well.

trade Nash to NYC for Al Harrington and their 1st rounder. Draft a PG(Holiday/Jennings/Lawson).

Use our pick to draft Earl Clark or James Johnson.

NExt year's lineup looks like this.

LB/Drafted PG(Lawson)/Tragic
Rich/Tucker
Harrington/Drafted SF(Johnson)/Dudley
Amare/Hickson/Lou
Wallace/Stro??/Fropez

Sounds fun to me.

Any predictions for who shaq will trash on the way out?

Their chemistry is fine. Nash does not have to pass to Shaq everytime. He is the floor general, its up to him to make the decisions.

I call BS on this article. More ways to stir up something that isn't there.

If Shaq is still on the Suns next year and he feels the team is not a contender, the **** will start to hit the fan. He will start pouting and throwing everyone in the organization under the bus. Exact same way things went down in Miami.

I honestly think the only reason shaq is playing so well right now is because he views the rest of this season as a tryout for a trade to the Lakers/Cavs in the offseason. Why else would he be going so out of his way to suck up to kobe when one year ago he was asking him how his ass tastes?
