With the NBA's trade deadline quickly approaching on February 21st, I want to take a look at what teams have done so far. The league has been criticized in the past for boring deadlines where franchises are afraid to make a big splash and look stupid if the deal doesn't work out for them, but

Revisiting the Shaq Deal (Yup, We Like It) (via The Big Lead)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Dirtlocker points for: Marcus Banks, Shawn Marion, Shaquille O'Neal

So Shaq got dealt. (Nice scoopage from the Miami Herald.) Phoenix's trading away of Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for the aging legend was routinely panned, and depending on the navel gazing you've read, the Suns have either given up on the up-tempo attack, been hoodwinked by the Heat, or Steve Kerr is a drunken [...]

As there have already a few articles written about this, I realize this may be overdoing it. But reading the other articles, I realized that one fact was largely ignored and not explained in detail: that of money. MannyStiles touched on it but to me, that is the single most baffling part of this

Shaq-Free Replay (via True Hoop)

Dirtlocker points for: Marcus Banks, Shawn Marion, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Billy Knight, Jason Williams

Remember when the NBA said that Atlanta and Miami would replay the last minute or so of a game that Shaquille O'Neal had been wrongly disqualified from?

By far the most common email I have received this week has been along the lines of -- well now that O'Neal is ...

Dirtlocker points for: Marcus Banks, Shawn Marion

Remember how you felt when you heard that the Suns were planning to trade Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for Shaquille O'Neal? Marion was right there with you Tuesday night. He saw a report on ESPN just as his cellphone began ringing like mad. "I was shocked at first," Marion said Thursday night from Miami, where he is scheduled for a physical Friday morning. "It happens. Everything ...

Shaq trade won't stop Hawks-Heat do-over Joe Johnson: 'No reason to even bother with replay' Published on: 02/06/08� MAKE-UP WHAT? The Hawks' March 8 make-up game, actually the final 51.9 seconds of a previous game, with Miami took a serious hit Wednesday when the Heat traded Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.

Marion will be 'sorely missed' (via Ball Hype)

Dirtlocker points for: Marcus Banks, Shawn Marion

Only the arrival of a presence such as Shaquille O'Neal could make Shawn Marion's departure seem like a secondary transaction. The Suns lost a four-time All-Star in Wednesday's trade, which also sent reserve guard Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat. In some ways, Marion was the face of the franchise, a forward who averaged 18.4 points and 10 rebounds in eight-plus seasons with the Suns. He had ...

If the Western Conference wasn't interesting enough, the Big Diesel is coming back. The Suns have acquired Shaquille O'Neal from the Heat in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. Great move Phoenix! Hurry up and get back on those phones - you still have time before the trade deadline. Maybe you can trade Steve Nash [...]
