Shaq to Phoenix?

Wow.

I really think the Suns are underestimating how much they will miss Marion. This trade is a big step back for their perimeter defense. Meanwhile, Shaq has given very little indication that he will be able to stay on the court. He is clearly not the same player he was two years ago -- and he was already well off his peak then.

If Shaq can get over his various injuries, the Suns will still be a good team. Even fat, old Shaq will score some points with Nash setting him up. I just don't think this will make them any better than they already are. Plus, by this time next year, Shaq will be chasing criminals for Miami PD and Marion will still be in his prime.

Not sure what Steve Kerr was thinking there...
