Basketball: Shaq demands trade

I'd like to see Shaq go to Utah rather than Dallas personally.

As afan of the Jazz, and a Shaq hater, I'm not sure what to think of that. There is no denying his presence, he can play the gmae alright, but I just don't like the guy.

there are rumors flying around that T-Mac could goto houstan, so were would they leave shaq?

Then maybe he'll end up with your Knicks, Ben. That'd be a good fit, I think.

be a championship team in NY.

I don't know but with Allan Houston that would make a good inside-outside punch that's for sure.

I could actually see that happening

If the Lakers want to get ripped off they'll trade to the knicks...everyone on that team is overpaid and overrated.

Actually no matter where the Lakers deal Shaq they will get ripped off, hell if they keep Shaq they get ripped off by his crippling salary.

But NY is a team that would rip them off the most.

Only trades I see worthwhile involve another big man, such as maybe to Phoenix for Stoudamire and Marion, Memphis for Pau Gasol and someone else, or New Jersey for Martin and maybe a shooter like Kittles.

None of those deals work financially.

the lakers are plain old asking way to much for him.

Any team that is willing to shell out 30 million bucks for a guy is bound to ask for a helluva lot in return for him.

Personally I hope both Shaq and Kobe stay with the Lakers. It's not the same Lakers if one of them leaves.

It's already kind of not the same with Phil Jackson gone.

Any new biders for shaq?

Nah.

They all seem to be more interested in Kobe
