Shaq/AI

Poor deal for both teams IMO.

We'd be better now, but next season we'd suffer for it. Since we wouldn't win it all with Shaq this season then why bother?

The Suns wouldn't do it, because as Chris said they'd be very small up front after this deal.

Would we expand the deal to send them Max or Amir? Who would the Suns send back if we included one of them?

Shaq has had a great year in Phoenix,but in doing so he's hurt the up-tempo offensive flow of Nash and upset Amare, since he can't get out and run as much and isnt the main offensive focus.

trading shaq for iverson allows both teams to stay competitive until 2010.. It gives Phoenix back their run-and-gun mentality that made them a contender, and allows Detroit to go back to its smashmouth. halfcourt mentality, which apparently is the only way curry knows how to coach (and cant even do that well).

It also alleviates $20 million off of Phoenix's salary for next season. Meanwhile, Shaq's deal is up in 2010 which keeps Joe's master plan intact.

For Detroit:

Shaq
Sheed
Tayshaun
Rip
Stuckey

For Phoenix:

Lopez
Amare
Richardson
Iverson
Nash

lastly, dealing Iverson for shaq puts us back under the luxury tax this season, so count davidson in.
