AK for Shaq? 

Post#1 » by Tabasco » Mon Mar 3, 2008 5:33 pm

I was just thinking about the Shaq trade and how it doesn't make a lot of sense to me when I thought about this: If you could have traded AK straight up for Shaq before the deadline, would you have done it? Would it make the Jazz a better team?

Hell no. Shaq is overpriced ans washed up. I'd take AK any day.

In the words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend." I think that Shaq with the Jazz is a lot more effective than Shaq with Phoenix. Phoenix needs to be careful they don't slide right out of the playoffs(Jazz, Mavs also). For some reason AK doesn't block shots anymore and he isn't great at one-on-one D so who knows??

I also thought about shaq in utah, be interesting for sure.

Deron, Brewer, Harp, Boozer, Shaq wit a bench of Price, Korver, Miles, Sap, Okur. It would be quite interesting actually.

I think AK for Marion would have been terrific... Marion is also long, can rebound, and he can play more effective one on one defense.

this reminds me of the summer of 93? ( the summer before shaq and the magic made it to the finals.)

i was at Lake Powell with my family void of almost all news in the country. my dad got a choppy am radio feed somehow and he was listening to it while me and my siblings were playing on the beach. he came out after a little bit smiling and laughing and screamed " the jazz made a trade!" i specifically remember my older brother and me being very excited and asked what it was. "the jazz traded the mailman for the SHAQ!" i nearly fainted. "not karl!" i thought. my older brother exclaimed, "YOUR KIDDING!" i thought he was going to cry. i guess it showed in both our faces because my dad nearly dropped laughing and said "just kidding! you shoulda seen yourselves!"

cruel joking aside, i'll say what ive said before, any team to trade for shaq o'neal will be on the losing end because of the money involved. shaq is the most overpaid undertalented person in the league IMO.

Shaq makes even more than Ak does. This would kill the Jazz.
