well put, this battle is so uselwss nad boring 4 years later. Facts are facts tho, Par Riley brought in Shaq to get closer to a title and in his first year they went from first round exit to conference championship and after that to the Nba Title while The Lakers missed the playoffs and got eliminated n the first round. These are facts you cant despute.
With that said i think this hole thread is wrong because at the time they traded Shaq i believe Shaq had enough gas to help the LAkers win 1 or 2 more Titles, the proof is that he did with Miami as i mentionned.
Is he finished now? He's def not in his prime anymore. DId the Heat give him a way too big contract? Perharps but it gave them a Title wich is the bottom line. Sometimes you have to overpay on a contract money wise and lenght wise to get a missing piece of the puzzle. You only do this kinda of move if you are garanteed a title and the Heat felt this would.
End of discussion.

You're mistaking...A rookie Dwyane Wade got the Heat to the Eastern Semis before Shaq even stepped foot into town. Shaq had as much to do with the Heats championship as Alonzo Mourning or Gary Payton...That's all I'm saying. Kobe's been in a totally different situation since the departure, which is why you can't compare. Shaq in Kobe's shoes woulda had the Lakers lottery bound for the past 3 years, no question. Shaq pretty much could not co-exist with Kobe if the offense (+ attention, money) wasn't gunna run through him, which is what made him demand the trade. Kareem, Hakeem, D-Rob etc. woulda' handled it differently...PeACe
