Dear NBA fans: help!

Hello there, I'm appealing to all you fans of fast break basketball to help me stop Steve Kerr and Don Nelson from doing any more damage to their respective teams, the two best fast-break squads in the league.
As you might know, Steve Kerr decided to trade Shawn Marion for an elephant in a basketball disguis...errr, Shaquille O'Neal, pretty much killing Phoenix's chance of ever playing a fast break offense again. Over in the Bay Area, Nelson's finally lost it and has decided to make Chris "I have the body of a 45 year old" Webber the centerpiece of his new Warriors, deciding to start him at the center spot.
To help the Suns and Warriors out and to stop this sort of idiocy from becoming a trend, I propose the following: we invite Shaq, Webber, Kerr and Nellie to a BBQ in San Francisco sometime next week. We lace the sauce with ground up sleeping pills, and once they've all been knocked out after dinner, we put them in a large shipping crate and mail them to Abu Dhabi. The problem is that I'm a bit short on money, and can't stage this all on my own, so I'm setting up the "Save the NBA" fund. You can donate either time or money, either would be appreciated.
Remember, this sort of nonsense snowballs, and if fast-break ball dies off, we'll soon be back to the 70 point games of the late 90s. No one wants that.
