“We need to build around Dwyane”
HEAT fans, Our man The Shaquille O’Neal, is gone for good. today at 6pm we traded him to the Pheonix Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Bank. HEAT fans, i do not care what you say about Shaq. HE was amazing and still is. I love that guy but it’s time to say goodbye. yes i know it sounds like we “used” him just to get a championship but we really had to let him go. Let me show you the numbers:
40 Million Dollars: How much we own Shaq for the next 2 years
16.5 Million Dollars: How much we are going to own Shawn Marion for ONE SEASON
and Marcus Banks, he’s worth about 6 million.
“I loved Shaq when I got him and I love him today,” Riley said. “I’ve been coaching 25 years and there wasn’t anything that went on between Shaq and I that caused this. We simply looked at the big picture, where we are today, and we need to build around Dwyane [Wade].” and he’s completely right. We need a young group of guys to be around wade and that’s what’s going to happen. Well look at this Starting Line-up that we are going to have:
Mark Blount
Shawn Marion
Dwyane Wade
Udonis Haslem
Jason Williams/Chris Quinn
Come one HEAT fans, tell me that isn’t an AMAZING line up. well i know i’m already missing O’Neal but to tell you the truth, he wasn’t even playing. I don’t understand why Steve Kerr (Suns GM) would make this trade. Miami really got the best end of the deal. we are going to have Marion for the end of this season and at the end of the season he can opt-out of his contract and miami will not lose anymore money. It’s good for us because Shawn is a young player and we now are going to have him for the rest of the season to see if him and Wade can get into a groove. and if they do and we sign him long term we will be unstopable! Great job Riley for getting this deal done. SHAQ, YOU WILL BE MISSED. i’m the 1st to admit that.
