Shaq vies for another ring
The story will be written from here on out. The Shaq trade has implications for both conferences. The fallout can be seen everywhere. Can it be coincidence that the yesterday’s trade news for Pau Gasol to Kobe’s Lakers lost to the Hawks? You may have to read that twice. Shaq brings his presence and salary cap to Phoenix and new GM Steve Kerr. If Shaq is a bust then Kerr will again be a brilliant TV announcer. Kerr had a valid concern. The center-less …read more

Uh, before we write off the Miami Heat maybe we should talk to Dwayne Wade.
You see, Wade had no problem putting up 31 on the Suns in what was the 6th game into a road trip when the legs should be dead.
