Shaq Agrees with Miami

now that it looks like shaq will leave for miami for lamar odom, brian grant, and caron butler, how do u think the lakers will do next year? miami? i wouldn't say its a great deal cuz i don't think anyone can match shaq nowadays, but the lakers are gettin' some good players....

for me, just look at the sig... lakers all the way ahaha

i wanted to see shaq stay put and kobe go to the clippers. it would've made a great cross-town rivalry

im satisfied with this deal. this would give a good player at every position. hopefully we fix our logjam at small foward and hopefully we can trade b. grant for e. dampier.

i don't think the lakers will do all that well next year. if they get kobe back, they might get into the playoffs. but the heat will probably be better.

Shaq is and will remain a dominant figure in NBA. Prolly is one of tha best players in NBA history......Lakers lost him, cuz he was a pain in the a$$.....Lakers wont be as great, but lets pray that shaq gets another toe injury like 03-04 season ROFL.

shaq will probably be even more dominant in the east cuz theres no big men out there besides big ben. in the west he had to deal with duncan, yao, kg, etc. and he'll need more support than eddie jones & wade

^^^ i wish wade and jones were part of the trade, that woulda been nice of course not with odom, grant, and butler together, but at least jones and wade

im just startin to have second thoughts on this trade. if this trade goes down i hear that payton and malone will not come back. leaving us with no power foward and no points gaurd. damn this laker offseason is gettin worse and worse.

are u really sure u want payton back after his playoff performance?

you'll still have fisher, if he decides to come back

that was one incident. he is not confortable witht the triangle. BTW he was the most consistent lakers durin the reg season givin 14-16 points on a nitely basis. also fisher is 99% not coming back.

payton should do better under rudy t's system, whatever it may be

its a officially a done deal now- shaq for odam, grant, butler and a 1st rounder. no jones or wade.

shaq with francis is a not bad combo i suppose.

francis went to orlando. i dont think shaq would have wanted to go back there cuz i'm sure magic fans are still bitter

i thought australia was a big basketball country? shane heal's still around w/ the spurs. i still remember him and that scuffle he had with barkely years ago. lauren jackson's the reigning wnba mvp

i think the aussies qualified for this years olympics, not sure


edit: fisher signed with the warriors

all i know is the Laker "dynasty" is coming to an early end
