Steffan Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 For those who care, sources are saying that Shaq will be traded on Wendesday to Miami for Butler, Odom, Grant, and a future draft pick. source: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1837581 Hopefully this will all be over with next week.

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I thought Dallas was the deal, but Lakers are at least smart for putting him in a non-competing setting. Won't have to play against him unless they both reach the finals. Miami may sell tons more tickets, and they may still be able to get some great players to come there now that Shaq is the core of that team. Hope it goes through.

mattmatik Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Personally, I would have liked to see Shaq stay with the Lakers, forcing Kobe to sign with the Clippers. That would be an awesome 4 game series next season in STAPLES. Now it looks like Kobe will re-sign with the Lakers and they will probably go after Vlade Divac. I still think Miami gets the better of the deal. With Odom, Caron Butler, and Brian Grant, the Lakers will have 4 small forwards (Odom, Butler, George, Luke Walton) and a mediocre power forward (assuming Malone is done). Should be interesting seeing the Lakers go up against guys like Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, Yao Ming, and Amare Stoudemire 4 times each....hahahahahaha. :p Miami now has the ingredients...a dominating big man in the paint and a guard who can shoot, go off the dribble, pass the ball, and play defense. It's all contigent on the role players. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/188829-nba-shaq-agrees-to-trade-to-miami/#findComment-2462252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry West left and in the 2 years since they have not won a championship. Mitch K is a moron that is destroying that team. Jerry B is an idiot for listening to him. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/188829-nba-shaq-agrees-to-trade-to-miami/#findComment-2462527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Odom will be there power forward, he can do it all except play center. Odom is a very good player when he wants to be. I think both teams will suck, because Kobe can not carry a team. Look at the records of when they both play, just Shaq plays and just Kobe plays. Kobe has a loosing record, Shaw has a winning one and together it is unspeakable.

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm glad the trade is over. I was getting tired of hearing about it. Hope Shaq works out hard, thins down a bit and ends up having a totally monster year to make Mitch Kuphead and Jarhead Buss look foolish. Hope Kobe goes to the Clippers (and then to jail if he is guilty). Stupid Lakers.

He is a horrible role model, very selfish and whiny as a player, plus he is an adulterer, which is not a family friendly thing. If he gets convicted of Rape, then I would not touch him with a 20 foot pole. Just not worth the trouble. Besides, look at the crap he is pulling with the lakers. They are screwed because of his immature, complaining attitude. He is a jerk.
