Banks in Marion, IN



Answer (7):

Lullaby

Marion was healthy, consistent and was only going to improve with time. Shaq is the exact opposite and I don't know if he's capable of playing the suns style of basketball night after night. They won't be able to establish any sort of rthym with shaq and they might as well kiss their title chances goodbye.

Right Back at Ya

hey are decent offensively

Offense is never the problems

its the defense

The suns are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league...now you take out Marion and put in Shaq who is fat and lazy, the Suns have even lesser rebounders on the team

On top of that Marion was their second best defender. With Bell aging, who are they gonna put on opposing scorers?

And if bell picks up 2 quick fouls, what are they gonna do? lol

Diaw and Barbosa are like butter...they'll get creamed by opoosing scorers

This was an all around bad trade

Shaq won't give the suns more than 20 minutes of effective basketball and it will suck up the shot clock just to get the ball to Shaq....which will result in less touches for others and mess up the floor spacing and rhythmg of the Suns' run and gun style

totally bad trade

Nash, Amare and Shaq won't have a lot of sucess


Mike D'Antoni is a run and gun system wizard there is no way in hell he'll know how to utilize Shaq in the post and use up like 20 seconds in the clock to get the ball to him lol

And Also the Suns are already one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA...with Marion gone, they'll be even worse!

Also Marion is their second best defender...if Raja Bell, who is aging, is in foul trouble or is injured, who do they put on opposing defenders? lol


Shaq doesn't rebound...he's fat and lazy

And also Amare complains about touches...so how are the Suns gonna accomodate two post players' needs?

that is not their styel...the suns style is to run and gun and shoot the 3, not pounding the ball inside

The Suns are small, they have no length, they will get easily beat by Western opponents

this is poor move by Suns GM Steve Kerr...its a knee jerk reaction to the massive frontlinet the Lakers have put up with the acquisition of Pau Gasol


its not a great deal for the Heat either

well they get a good young poing guard in Marcu Banks to team up with Wade but Marion's contract is expring...he's gonna leave the heat who are rebuilding for a championship contender


the Suns window of opportunity to win a title just got slammed shut

Miami KIDD

yea is a good trade for the heat lol..poor suns!

daremedy

no way, another shaq in phoenix opinion question....... what an original question, i'm surprised no one else on yahoo has asked for other people's opinion on shaq moving to phoenix.... i'm glad you ask it because i've been waiting to share my opinion on the topic....... thanks so much, you're a life saver...

Megan D
