[QUOTE="SeanDub, post: 4022807, member: 568046"] I am a Suns fan and I heard this trade announced on NBA Fastbreak last night at like 1 in the morning on ESPN and I freaked out. I could not believe that when we are the number one team in the West and sure to make the playoffs again and almost without a doubt have first round home court advantage, we decided to trade the second most important player on the team and certainly the most versatile player. And what do we get for him? An aged, foul and injury prone, slow Shaq. Now I can't begin to say that I understand why this trade would have been done except that it has benefits for everyone. Marion has wanted out of Phoenix for a while now. Why? I don't know. So he gets to leave. Miami wanted to move Shaq because of the salary cap and would take just about anything to move him. Getting Marion and Banks was definitely a plus because Banks will give Jason Williams a run for his money for the starting point guard spot once he learns the system. And Marion is a double-double threat every game. Phoenix loses and wins. They lose a large percentage of their scoring, athleticism, and rebounding with Marion leaving. Also, there is less depth at the point guard spot with Banks leaving because Barbosa has flourished as more of a shooting guard. However, if Shaq can get healthy and get in better shape, he will be able to play in Phoenix. No one expects him to run with the Suns, but he can get defensive rebounds, which is one of the Suns' Achilles heels. He can then outlet and make his way down the court for the halfcourt offense if we don't score in transition. He can still play a little defense, which will help when playing San Antonio, LA, and other teams with big men that Stoudemire can't match up with. My issue is that he is not going to average the same scoring or minutes that Marion did, which leaves a hole to be filled. That means Diaw and Barbosa will have to continue to step up. But who knows how everything will turn out. It will be interesting to watch, though. [/QUOTE]
