Shaq Attack is Back in the West!

If you thought the Lakers acquiring Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenden, Marc Gasol's draft rights, and two picks was big, well, so did the Suns.
They were so impressed that they picked up the most dominant center ever, Shaquille O'Neal, for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.
Shaq's well past his prime now, and I've always been a fan of Marion, so I don't think too highly of this trade from the Suns' perspective. Is Shaq going to match up better defensively against the Lakers' new front line? He's certainly not going to be able to run the floor like Marion and Amaré Stoudemire. And that still leaves the problem of guarding Lamar Odom.
I just don't get it. So let's make this a basketball open thread. Yes, even college.
Devon George, of the 40 ppg and 15 apg career line (or did I just make that up because George is a bench player?) blocked a trade that would have sent Dallas JKidd.
Georges agent said he wasnt trying to be difficult, its just that George is starting right now, and you know, George is looking out for George. I cant say I disagree with the logic, a team will cut you in a second if they think it makes them better, and I just love seeing a player tell a team, especially the choking dog Mavericks, to take a back seat to HIS interests.
BTW since the Kyle Jorver trade the Utah Salt Flats, err, Jazz, have been going crazy. Also anyone catch Suns Warriors last night? Thats what I wanna see in the west final.
Out like Shaq
