OT: Official 2008-2009 NBA Season

Hold on to him until they find a better option. There were talks of sending Marion for a high 1st rounder, and an expiring contract...I think that would have been a lot more beneficial...I think Marion could have been worth a top 10 draft pick..maybe even two 1st round picks, and some ****ty player's contract....like I said the Heat got out like bandits in that deal..not only have you become a worse basketball team, but you've gotten older, and slower....that trade was just stupid.

I think dumping him for a different, younger center would have been ideal...idk if the cap numbers fit, but looking into a move for David Lee, Andris Biedrin, Sam Dalembert, Andrew Bynum, etc. would've been a lot better than getting Shaq..

 

But the Suns were a better basketball team without Shaq.

-Halftime-

ya i agree, they were the lightning scoring offense with no defense. at least now they have some defense. if they can somehow get chris bosh next offseason and keep Amare and draft a good Guard than i think Suns will be a championship team

They were talking about trading him after the '07 season for a lottery pick, and an expiring...if they were getting deals then, and they knew he wanted out, they should have acted on them. They could have ended up with Spencer Hawes, Brandon Wright, Al Thornton, Al Horford....all of those would be better options than Shaq...and then all they'd have to worry about for the future is how they're going to replace Steve Nash.

^joey graham is doing decent of late, eightball88

Yeah, I ended up picking up him and McGhee. Graham had 24 pts 6 reb 2 asts 2stls 3 blks and McGhee put up 18 pts 11 reb 2 blks tonight. I don't expect Graham to keep it up because he's just getting more PT since Bosh is out, but I'll ride it out at least.

I wonder what Dwight has planned for the dunk contest. Since it happens to fall on Valentine's Day I wouldn't be suprised to see him kiss the rim and dunk...

I still think Rudy Gay is the best natural dunker in the contest, dunno if he'll be creative enough to win though...

I wouldn't be suprised to see him kiss the rim and dunk...Orlando_Magic

That would be dope. Dwight has mad creativity in his dunks, I think he'll win it again

Right... touching the top of the backboard while catching an alley oop is something we've all seen before. Same with tapping a pass off the glass and catching it in the air:roll: Don't be mad Dwight can actually sell his dunks, unlike most competitors.

i'd rather have dwight howard in the dunk contest then guys like Nate Robinson who take 30+ dunk attempts just to get a dunk off. i'd also rather have Dwight Howard because of his creativity.  Rudy Gay is an excellent dunker but he's not really creative and judges also factor in creativity into the dunk. How many in between the leg dunks are we going to see? gets pretty boring after you've seen it numerous times in dunk contest.

Wow this dunk contest is fixed:| Dwight does some trash dunk and gets a 50 and Rudy gets robbed.NetYankEagle

he threw a lob from behind the backboard and did a 180 windmill... Nate and JR both did worse windmills. Rudy's dunk was sick but he took a million tries...

nate robison is awful. he didn't jump over dwight howard,he had to push him down. Dwight should have one. A 12 ft rim won it by itself.

Rudy vs. Dwight shoulda been the finals...

Nate's dunk over Dwight was sick, but that one where he jumped over Wilson Chandler's back is so easy... I've been able to do that since like 8th grade :|

the 12 ft. rim was too easy for him

Lebron James next year baby ;)

****ing bull****.

First Rudy gets robbed, THEN Dwight gets robbed. I swear these things are fixed. I remember back in '06, Igoudala should of easily won but yet again the POS that is Nate Robinson prevails. **** the dunk contest, no one will ever get close to Vince Carter and Jason Richardson.

And wtf is it with Kenny and all those douchebags riding on Lebron so much? Do they have a crush on him? I bet if Lebron was in the dunk contest he would do his silly little one handed Tomahawk. **** the dunk contest.

alley oop between the legs, exactly my point. I'm sure Lebron can windmill from the FT line too a la James White, be nice to see him try it since no one has done it in the NBA contest yet.
