Shaq Wants To Join The Knicks

[Knicks Analyst]

REPORTED BY STEPHEN A. SMITH ON SPORTSCENTER THAT SHAQ WOULD LOVE TO PLAY FOR THE KNICKS!!!!!! Isiah has been trying to work out a three-way deal.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

 

[sneballa7]

are you serious

 

[Martin]

If Shaq should join the Knicks then you may be without Marbury,Kurt Thomas,Tim Thomas and I think LA may ask for few draft picks too..I doubt Lakers would want Allan Houston's giant contract.Good luck

 

[Ming637]

Who are the other players in the deal gonna be?

 

[sneballa7]

Any one but Stephon.

Do you really think Lakers are gonna trade the most dominant player in the league for 3-4 players but don't take your best player but if the trade goes Kobe's way I don't see Shaq coming to NY cause LA has Payton.

 

[Next Level Game]

I don't trust Stephen A. Smith.

 

[Avery]

This is a trade prospect for every team in the NBA. They are only a few teams in the NBA that have the necessary players and money to get Shaq. Those whom don’t have the players and money to get Shaq would have to do a three-way deal, so we can easily say that the Sonics have a chance to get Shaq.

 

[Emo]

Shaq wants Sac-Town, Shaq wants New Jersey, Shaq wants Indiana, c'mon are you going to believe this garbage? And I find it ridiculous that he's talking like this because for one we choose where he goes, not Shaq. And plus who is Isiah Thomas going to trade to get Shaq in return? Allan Houston? The 100 million dollar bust?? Yeah, I'm sure the Laker management is shaking in their boots to make this move. By all means, it looks pretty clear he's going to the Mavs because the Mavs right now are the only team that can give us significant quality players to replace Shaq. That's if of course they finally trade us The Diggler.

 

[Erin]

Nooo. I don't want Shaq here. The Knicks will no longer be one of my favorite teams if he's on it. =(

 

[Premium]

cant see it happening. knicks wont let stephon go, and with glove staying in L.A. i dont see the lake show wanting him. so who else do the knicks package up to get shaq? kurt thomas, allan houston, deke and tim thomas? thats pretty much the whole starting line up.

just dont see it happening

amen to that. No one takes shaq seriously anymore, especially after saying he wants to go to the sacramento <u>queens.</u>

 

[DaAnswer3]

LoL S A Smith you actually listen to his rants and hope they come true. How do the Knicks have anything the Lakers would really want if they traded away Shaq. They want Dirk from the Mavs to even do that deal. Starburry is okay but not as good as Dirk imo. So this seems like the long shot of all long shots imo

 

[jbbShortyC20]

ont know i think fans are just gonna have to wait. There are so many rumors going around.But i dont think the knicks are gonna get shaq.Theyll have to get rid of there key players.

 

[Rim-Rocca]

if they do trade, they may have to trade all those good players like marbury, thomas, etc. and if it was a 3 way trade, whose the other team? mavs?

 

[Streetball2k5]

They would most likely trade Houston, Thomas and Thomas and cash for him. That's the only way the salaries would match and Isiah says he doesn't want to let Marbury go. I don't see how Marbury+Shaq would work out though, Marbury is a selfish player like Kobe was so Shaq won't be getting the ball much more than he was in L.A.

Oh well, Shaq says he wants to go everywhere. One thing is for sure though, Shaq won't be in a Laker uniform next season

great trade proposition.

I disagree your opinion of Marbury being Selfish. Check his stats.

Ranks #1 in the NBA in <u><font color="#0000ff">Assists</font></u>(719.0)
Ranks #2 in the NBA in <u><font color="#0000ff">Assists Per Game</font></u>(8.9)
Ranks #6 in the NBA in <u><font color="#0000ff">Assists Per 48 Minutes</font></u>(10.6)
Ranks #11 in the NBA in <u><font color="#0000ff">Assists Per Turnover</font></u>(2.89)
Ranks #9 in the NBA in <u><font color="#0000ff">Turnovers Per Game</font></u>(3.07)

All in all I would love to see Shaq in New York.

maybe when he gets there nike will give him a contract and he can sell his shoes in store like footlocker and not stores like Kmart.

 

[DaAnswer3]

but they would never trade shaq for houston thomas an thomas. They want Dirk from the Mavs. An houston can't even play the same way anymore. That's like trading the best player for 3 middle of the road players.

 

[jbbShortyC20]

I dont think the mavericks will trade Dirk Nowitzki. If Shaq did go to the knicks i would go along with Houston,Thomas, Thomas and cash. I dont think they'll get rid of Stephon.I also heard that Phil Jackson might go to the Knicks. And then be able to coach a talented duo (Shaq and Stephon) as it was with Shaq and Kobe. So could luck to the knicks.
But like i said dont believe everything you hear. Cuz there are sure a lot of rumors.

 

[DaAnswer3]

But Thomas an the Zen Master wouldn't work he wants to coach them he wouldn't sit there with a giant of a coach like Jackson. He will want all the power not have such a big name like Jackson in the Big Apple.

Alright, thanks, but I know the stats are in favour of Marbury, but If you watch a Knicks game, he takes the shot or passes it off to an open player every play. No play doesn't go through Marbury, which is why his stats are so stacked in his favour. I like Marbury though, I agree with you that he is a great player and Shaq would fit well in New York. I just don't see them agreeing on the court.

 

[bbwtrench]

The Knicks can scratch out this RUMOR now. And if the Lakers did try to trade shaq to the Knicks, marbury would definately be in the package.

 

[og15]

Well, we know everyone wants to go to the Knicks.
