Shaq to come back to LA??? 

Post#1 » by MJallday59 » Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:31 am

I know this may sound crazy but....

Miami is in panic mode and they now realize they can't possibly win with Shaq anymore. I also think Riley would love to get from under his contract so he'd "possibly" consider adding a first round pick to the equation how about a three way trade with Orlando


Miami receives
Kwame Brown/Javaris Crittendon/Pat Garrity and the rights to Fran Vasquez


Lakers Receive
Shaq and Miami's 2009 first round pick

Orlando Receives

Vlad Radmonovic

Would you do it? Imagine if you were somehow able to convince C-webb or P.J Brown to sign on with you. You'd have a very impressive team!

Hell no, get Shaq fat contract outa here. We need the money to resign our young studs. Plus, Shaq will kill the uptempo offense the Lakers are currently playing.

Shaq just want to still the spot light from Kobe, since the laks are now contending. That way people can say, see Kobe can only win with Shaq. :crazy:

Hell no! 10 years of Javaris is better than a few games of Shaq.

We did a favor for the heat by trading Shaq to them, no way we do them another by taking him back.

so we let Shaq go to MIA and dont get a fair deal back. With the premise that we dont want to pay an aging Shaq anymore. Shaq and co. wins the title. So, we bail out MIA agin by taking him back?

We would be serviced by MIA twice. No thanks.

I'd rather get Haslem from the heat than Shaq. He would be nice next to Bynum.

Wait, we would get Miami's lottery pick?

And Shaq would back up Bynum?

I'd be interested if that's the case. We are not going to be under the cap anytime soon anyway, and I'm kinda confident that Shaq would be a better backup than Kwame. If his fat ass could accept that role, which he should, since he's 300 years old and weights 4,000 pounds, then I'd be all for this trade. Seriously.

Lakers aren't exactly broke, so why not?

Maybe it's just the rum.

What 2010 plan? We aren't going to have any money regardless, IIRC.

And isn't this supposed to be a good draft? I honestly don't follow college hoops, so I'm not certain of how strong it is, but if we could get a lottery pick, then I'd be willing to sacrifice whatever 2010 plan we have.
