I Heard an NBA joke today; Phoenix trades Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for Shaquille O'Neal

According to breaking news on ESPN.com, the league-worst Miami Heat have completed a trade with the Phoenix Suns, that would send the soon to be 36 year old Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix, and multi-dimensional All-Star Shawn Marion would be sent to Miami along with guard Marcus Banks. This might be one of the worst, and dumbest trades in NBA history. The team (Phoenix Suns) with the fastest tempo in the NBA, are trading one of Nash's favorite running mates for a 36 year old, slow center, who not to mentions still has 2 years 40 million dollars left on his contract. I do not know why Shawn Marion continues to pout about no recognition. HEY SHAWN! without a point guard like Steve Nash you are a 12 and 10 player at best! You can't create your own shot, and your 3 point and free throw shooting has been horrendous this year. If you think, going from one of the best teams in the NBA to the worst team in the league, is going to work out better for you, you are truly a perfect example of how stupid some players can be. Good luck even averaging 12 points a game on Miami. Have fun having your season end early for most likely the rest of your career. If you stayed in Phoenix, you would be easily a 17 and 11 player on a title contender until Nash retires. I feel bad for Phoenix that they had to deal with all the pouting you gave them. Whatever, you got your wish, you are out of Phoenix, good luck even being on the All-Star ballot next year. Going back to what I said about feeling bad for Phoenix. I feel even worse now, because this trade might take them out of finals contention for a while. Shaq is of no help to this team, and this trade will make it even easier for my beloved Lakers to win the Western Conference this year, and possibly get to the finals. Overall, Miami gets the best of this deal, as they get rid of some trash in Shaq and his contract. Hopefully, Shawn opts out after this year, and saves the Heat some cap to help them pick up some free agents to put around superstar Dwyane Wade.
