Big Shaq joins the West's real best team

Lakers haven't beat Suns in a series so i'll give it to you there, even though LA has a stronger team this year, but San Antonio is definitely>>>Phoniex

As if the Lakers would not scramble to make a trade had it been the other way around? People act like the Lakers weren't scared of OTHER teams (since they were beginning to lose ground and NEEDED an extra push to get over the hump they've been stuck at the past 3 seasons), which is why they made the trade (the need was there...) The same goes for the Suns (The need is really there, they've been stuck in a better position than the Lakers, but stuck nonetheless).

Now that there's a new threat, they have to do something to minimize the threat. It's not that "they're scared! OMG!! TEEHEE!!!!" It's called being tactical. Gasol playing with Kobe for the rest of the season (plus the possibility of getting Bynum back) meant the Suns might not dispose of the Lakers this year like they have the past two seasons... so what does anybody do when they know a change needs to be made? They MAKE the change.

Scared? I doubt it. Cautious... of course. But like I said, the Lakers were cautious too. And knew that if they wanted to be the elite team in the NBA, beat teams like the Spurs and the Suns (or if they get this far; Boston or Detroit in the Finals), they would HAVE to make a change.

Dude this was the epitome of a desperation move.
