lol Shaq is a joke!
wcsoldier:
Shaq is the Nasty Nas of the basketball, he talks a lot of shit. He can go on dissing Kobe but without him he wouldn't win a championship (same thing for Kobe though). Plus why he disses the whole Lakers team? This team has won and go on winning titles without him. Lakers 14 titles Heats 0. Lol at Shaq still believes winning the title this year ;D

Better late than never.
1. Shaq demanded a trade, menacing to retire if Lakers didnt trade him.
2. Kobe was an unrestricted Free Agent, and he didnt want to do a sign-and-trade deal.
3. Phil was a Free Agent, and there was no cap room to give them all a contract.
So..
1. Lakers traded Shaq.
2. Lakers re-signed Kobe.
3. Lakers signed Rudy T. as the head coach (for 3m $ per year, the same amount Phil was getting the previous year).
Now..
1. Lakers have a lot of players to trade, because they have (big) contracts expiring.
2. Lakers will have a lot of salary cap space next year, being in a position to sign everyone they want.
3. Kobe is still there, and Phil is probably coming back as a coach.
On the other side, Miami, we have:
1. A team who had a 42-40 record last year who this year have a 52-30 record. Good, but they destroyed a team for what? 10 w?
2. A team who cant win without Flash. Shaq can't win without him, and that's a fact!
3. Wade with a "small" contract who needs to be renegotiated soon.
4. Shaq signed for a couple of years for 30m $ a year.
5. Salary cap fucked up for years.
6. Low percentace of success in having both Shaq and Wade in the same team in the next years.
7. Game-7 to be played without Wade, at home, against the Pistons.
8. A great chance to loose the Eastern Conference finals making everything they've done a mistake.
Last year Miami was just 1 lost in the play-offs from where they are now.
Now me, as a Laker fan, i'm excited about a few things:
- Phil coming back.
- Kobe and Phil playing motivated.
- A n.10 (maybe more, if we trade it) draft pick (i know it aint something to be proud of, but shit we have it so..)
- a lot of players we can trade to get better ones.
- Tex Winter coming back.
- the fact we will dominate next year's free agents market, adding the fact/power we're the Lakers to a lot of money to spend.
In 2-3 years we will be contenders.
Miami in 2-3 years will have to sell one between Shaq and Wade. Or the other 10 players + their arena.

Mmmm.. like i predicted Miami will not play in the NBA Finals.
They destroyed the team for advancing from the 2nd round of the play offs to the 3rd.
WOAH!
