This week the Miami Heat traded Future Hall of famer Shaq to the Phoenix Suns for all-star forward Shaun Marion and Guard Marcus Banks. The suns made this big deal, despite already having the best record in the very deep western conference. They traded one of their best players. However, they acquired a guy who was the most dominant player in the NBA during his prime. Many people believe that Shaq is too old and cannot play The Phoenix Suns styke of basetball. However, the suns feel that the piece that they were missing with their group of star player is a big guy to anchor the middle. They will depend on shaq to cover guys like Yao Ming, Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol, and Carlos Boozer in the playoffs. They also feel that the acquisition of Grant Hill provides them a s a very good player to take over Marion's position. Only the playoffs will tell how good this deal was.
The Miami Heat also feel that they had a very good deal. They are not going anywhere this year, with a last place record in the east. They acquire a younger star in Marion who they can build a team in along with Dwayne Wade. Also Marcus Banks is panning out to be a really solid role player. This trade will probably be the blockbuster of this NBA season.
