NBA: Where stupid trades happens

I suppose to analized this and come out with an intersting and smart reason of the Shaquille O'neal trade I dont get it. I don't catch Kerr's drift

A'right, the Suns need some attitude and muscle to compete with the rest of the west. I agree that their run and gun show is not bringing no titles as they have been sent fishing by better defensive teams in the playoffs but in order to fix this you don't trade your most versatile player and second best defensive weapon for a 35 year old injured center. No. No. No. You trade Marcus Banks for Jaamal Magloire or any of the Seattle centers. Something smart.

The Suns are expecting that Diaw replaces Marion and that Shaq rejunates himself and be the diference maker agains San Antonio, Dallas and New Orleans. I really don't see that happening. This is Diaw's second bad year. This is Shaq's second bad year. I really don't get it. Worst case scenario the Phoenix Suns are going to get outrun by the rest of West with the exception of San Antonio and Houston. Best case scenario, Shaq is going to be a monster thanks to Steve Nash and the attention that Amare draws and the missmatches. I say the first has the better odds.

Phoenix needed to do some trade, Nash have been complaining about team chemistry for awhile now but this wasn't the trade to make. Not Marion at least not for Shaq

I don't get it

Stupidness 1.2

Steve “Franchise” is coming back to the franchise that saw him become an All Star. Good for Francis, I’m really glad for the guy, he’s going to play in a familiar territory and he never really fit with those Knicks, maybe because sharing a backcourt with Marbury is like sharing a pie with Val Kilmer this days. My issue (among others) here is that I really don’t understand this from the Rockets point of view. They have 2 scorers and no true point guard, they decided to add another scorer, who calls himself a point guard, but he’s actually a scorer who like to shot a lot in order to score a lot,you know he being a scorer. They now have 3 scorers and the making of a huge catfight for the ball in a middle of a game. SCORER!. If the word scorer just lost the meaning to you, you probably need to score to reconnect to the sense of the word, if you know what I mean. Be a scorer. Score.

Does this propel Houston pass their Texas buddies? Hell no! But it will be interesting when China calls Houston to said that they are not helping Yao achieve the exultation of capturing glory and that they must kill Francis. Houston will probably be ok with this as long as the murdered Francis' contract doesn't count against the cap.

In another bonehead move, the Suns are trading their (only) best post defender and only player who’s not afraid of the boogeyman to the Sonics for a second round pick and a $8 million trade exception. If Phoenix don’t get KG or Jermainel O’neal, I’m officially getting of the Steve Kerr’s bandwagon and proclaiming that the Suns just wasted the last couple of good years on Steve Nash “rebirth”. Really, Kerr appears to be a good guy, he went through a lot of bad shit before hitting the NBA, he was a great color commentator, a great shooter, but I don’t see how a team in the position the Phoenix is can rely in a rookie GM, they are piece or two (three now) away from really contending, they’re in a crappy CAP position, they need somebody who knows what he or she’s doing, I’m not saying Steve’s doesn’t, but if he’s going to show growing pains handling this team and make a mistake here or there, it would be a great opportunity missed for them do to something special and signing it’s ticket to the basketball Olympus.

Let’s just hope this is step one; I’m not the only one thinking it
