[NBA] Shaq agrees to trade to Miami


Recommended Posts

I think you can safely give the Pacific Division championship to Sacramento now. Even if the Lakers sign Vlade, it makes for an even better Kings lineup because they can now start Brad Miller and Chris Webber together (something they should've done all along).

And with Erick Dampier most likely signing in Memphis, the Lakers are going to be VERY weak.

apparently, he is staying...

The Lakers still have half of their superstar duo.

Kobe Bryant agreed to stay with the Lakers on Thursday, spurning an offer from the Clippers, ESPN has confirmed.

The decision came one day after the Lakers traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Orlando Magic for three players and a draft pick.

Lakers will have some intresting team chemistry.......Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom,

Also, I dont know if this is true but i could have sworn i heard that malone was being offered a contract with another team...

Im glad to see shaq leave... Its going to be exciting down in Miami with Wade and the diesel

For the long term, miami is getting screwed.

HAHAHA, Are you nuts? There's no losing. The Lakers were Raped!

There's noway Miami will be screwed. Shaq is a guaranty at a shot at a title.

What do you think Shaq is? He's a player magnet. What do you think will happen in a season or two, when great players around the league get hungry for a title? They're gonna want to go where they feel they have a shot. What better team than Miami atm? The east is completely dry in the dominant center position. Shaq will wipe the east clean.

Not to mention wherever he goes he betters everyone around him. Wait for the double/triple and dish out to open man for free jumper. Brian Shaw for example... when he was in Miami, he was dirt. Got traded off to Lakers and Shaq made him an All-Star. What do you think he'll make Wade? Ahh yes Wade, he's not going anywhere. Miami is far from being screwed. Lakers are the ones that are screwed for the long run.

ESPN and StarSports will be cracking their heads to decide which games to broadcast if Houston (Yao & T-Mac), Lakers (Kobe), Miami (Shaq & Wade), Orlando (Steve Francis and Dwight Howard) and Bobcats (Emeka Okafor) all happen to play on the same day and at similar timeslots. :laugh:

The NBA 2004/05 season is definitely a season worth waiting for and watching at. :)

I'm so tired hearing about Shaq this and Shaq that. I came home from school to Miami for the weekend and picked up the newspaper. EVERY SINGLE SECTION (front page, local news, business, sports, etc.) had a damn article about Shaq. :angry: I think I get the point already. We are getting Shaq. Jeez... I know he is a good player but can we please let it go already. We got him! Let us here more about him during basketball season. :rolleyes: :hmmm:

Well, either you deal with it, or head back to school.

:crazy:

Listen, I like sports and other things but that is why there is a SPORTS section in the news paper. I don't know about you but to me, I think the sports section to carry all the sports news. Does it really have to be on all the sections of the newspaper? :wacko:

Its BIG news man. All of a sudden with a blink of an eye, we're contenders for the title. Its as if we already won the title around here. You know how it is. What else is there happening down here right now? Nothing! Marlins are playing, thats no reason for more than an article on that. I'm sure everyother baseball game scores/rating as far as many others are still in the paper. You're just a bit too uptight about it. Loosen up man.

Yep, it promises them shotb> at a title. But, chances are, their shot will suck.

Miami got raped up the ass -- deal with it. They traded away the future of their franchise -- guys under contract -- for Shaq... who can get out of his contract after this season. You forgot about that little part, didn't you? Yep, if Shaq doesn't like it in Miami all he has to do is pick up his bags and leave.

Shaq is a "player magnet"? I guess so, if you mean he gets double-teamed a lot. But the Pistons proved that Shaq alone can't win a title -- heck, Shaq and all the stars on the Lakers proved that. What makes you think this will be any different? And go ahead and tell me that Shaq will draw players... I don't care. I know that means crap when they see Miami's record next season, which will suck because the whole team is Shaq.

Not only that, but Miami now has **** for depth. Mind telling me your backups? Mmm-hmmm... you're pretty much screwed. Have fun with Shaq playing the entire game, every game, the whole season and then going in the playoffs and being out of gas. He won't be out of gas, you say? Remember that he got to rest in L.A. with the Lakers when he needed it. But if Shaq's not out of gas that means he was probably injured, like this year. Shaq isn't exactly the most healthy guy around.

"The east is completely dry in the dominant center position.&quotBHWHWWHWHWHWWHWHWHWHWWHWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!b>

Oh my gosh, that was quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read... obviously someone's never heard of Ben Wallace.

And, I'm sorry, but Shaq doesn't make everyone around him an all-star. Your logic in that regard is utterly stupid, since you could use comparisons from people who left Lakers to go to other teams and got better, or you could mention players who went to the Lakers and got worse.

Congratulations, Wade isn't going anywhere... you have two players! 3 more and you can get a starting lineup.:laugh:h: Sorry, bro, but the Lakers screwed you up the butt.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
