Pau Gasol is traded to Los Angeles. New Jersey is looking to move Jason Kidd. Shaquille O'Neal might be getting shipped to Phoenix. I tell you; the NBA is absolutely craz-- WHOA! Hold up. What was that last one again?
Shaquille O'Neal might be getting shipped to Phoenix.
At least, that's the rumor in Florida.
From Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald:
The Heat has told center Shaquille O'Neal's representation that it is talking about trading him and he should be prepared for the possibility of a deal, according to two officials close to the situation. Phoenix has discussed sending forward Shawn Marion and point guard Marcus Banks to the Heat in return for O'Neal.
Asked for confirmation, one of O'Neal's representatives said O'Neal has been made aware that discussions with Phoenix are serious and ongoing, but that a deal was not definite.
Dallas also has been mentioned as a potential destination, though the Heat had not immediately informed O'Neal of that possibility.
I really can't begin to wrap my head around what Shaquille O'Neal operating in the Suns' run-and-gun offense would look like, but I keep picturing a dragon trying to play hopscotch, so take that as you will. What a rumor.
(Thanks to Brooks for the tip.)
