Here is what ESPN has to say about the possibility: Memphis certainly has enough players to make things interesting. A package of Pau Gasol ($4.3 million), Lorenzen Wright ($7.15 million), James Posey ($5.4 million), Jason Williams ($6.875 million) and Bo Outlaw ($6.585 million) would equal one Shaq, filling a lot of Lakers holes at small forward, power forward, point guard and bench. Memphis would still have Shane Battier, Stromile Swift and Bonzi Wells to team with Shaq, which would make a certain Logo ridiculously happy as the Grizzlies move into a new building with all kinds of luxury suites ready to move
very interesting.... Memphis is one of the few teams that have players to spare. btw, If Memphis traded 4 or 5 players for Shaq would that = the Hershel Walker trade in football?
Jimmy Johnson still laughs about how he screwed the Vikings on the Herschel Walker deal. If I was Mitch Kupcheck I wouldn't even answer the phone when Jerry West called.
take this to the bank..... by the start of next season Shaq will be a Laker or a Maverick. Mark Cuban has already said he will trade ANYTHING for Shaq, and rumor has it Nash and Dirk are at the top of the list. Shaq probably requested a trade thinking the Lakers would say no, and got a big surprise when they said ok. I would say 75% chance Shaq is a Laker come next season, 25% rides with the Mavs.
mesq, I didnt hear that but I sure as hell knew that would be who would do it. dude has pocket change that equals shaq's salary. Cuban will sign shaq you can almost bank it....if he leaves L.A.
Yeah but he's got so many high priced players on his payroll that he need only trade a couple of players for Shaq and the salary exchange would be about the same.
Stro in Playboy Did anybody see Stro with two hot playboy bunnies in the July 2004 Playboy? He is pictured with Ava Fabian and Colleen at Playboy's 50th anniversary club tour. :geaux: :champs: :geaux:
