Like shaq said he's a team player,he doesn't want to take up the entire salary cap,he's not greedy" ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) but yet here he wanted a 3 year 90 mill $ contract extention too go along with his 1 year left on his OG contract,,,so that's 4 years 120 mill $ :o
It would of been impossible for Dr.Buss too keep kobe if would of gave shaq all that money.
And even after Shaq yelled @ Dr.Buss during a pre-season game "PAY ME MUTHAFUCKER" Dr.Buss WAS NICE ENUGH to offered shaq a 2 year 45 million $ contract extention in feburary but shaq said "I'm not KG,i'm not going to under value myself (KG took a pay-cut) i've won championships and MVP's".
And a month Later guess who's house was up for selll? yup,..shaq's house...And of course the media didn't say shit about it.Shaq knew he was going too get traded in feburary and then shaq acted like a moron after the NBA Finals like every thing was such a big surprice.
There's no reason that shaq should of ask for a contract extention b/c he had 2-3 years left in his contract,,shaq was just acting like a bitch b/c kobe was going to get alot of atention fron the front office.
And Shaq had some nerv asking for an extention after having his worst season sinse his rookie year and a year after his famus "i got injured during company time .i'll get my surjurey and in shape during company time" line.
Annd then everything that happened after the NBA Finals was just a big spin by shaq and the media went along with it,,he was blaming kobe,and Dr.Buss and mitch and he was just talking shit about everyone....Shaq is a big baby,,it's never his foult in his eyes,& he never takes responsibilitys for anything.

i look at it like this
with shaq: many wins, nba finals/playoffs, millions in revenue from merchandise, stable ticket sales, free promotion from name association (ie shaq going on Jay leno "from the LOS ANGELES LAKERS shaquille o'neal)
with out shaq: many losses, no nba playoffs, millions in revenue lost from merchandise, decreased ticket sales, loss of promotion from name assaociation
trading shaq hurt dr. buss more than keepping him would have. it's clear that they wanted to build around kobe while they still had him , and while he was still young and able to build a team around. dr. buss didn't want to look at the lakers 10 years from now and be like, "hmmm i wonder what it would have been like to build the team around kobe while he was still REACHING his prime." it was a move to make kobe number one. he wants to make kobe the next jordan. that's what kobe wanted as well, if shaq stayed i doubt kobe would have , he wanted the same thing, he wanted to be jordan. buss saw this and wasn't going to have kobe be "jordan" on some one elses team.

Poor kid. He'll get only 120 mill $ in 4 years. Plus Riley is the new coach. ::)
Shaq simply talks too much. Nobody in L.A. cares about him no more.
Heat 15-11 in the wackest conference and division.
Lakers 14-11 in the hardest conference and division.
Shaq betta focus his energy on not having a record worse than those Lakers.

LMAO. Please tell me you're smarter than this...The reason Shaq left was primarily up to him. You think Buss wouldn't have prefered to keep a Kobe-Shaq dynasty and win 5-7 championship in the span of a decade instead of 3? Fact is, Shaq was being a greedy, cry-baby piece of shit...He's doing it to Miami now as well...Why do you think Pat Riley is coaching them? Hmmm, I wonder who wanted to only play for a big name coach? Could it have been...Shaq!?...Face it, Jake, Shaq isn't your "kind giant" hero you thought he was in LA. He's a fat, greedy, crying piece of shit who will end his career on a downward spiral, which he selfishly got himself into...Now if you think Kobe is the primary reason behind the trading, then that's just ridiculous. I could assure you that a center with some sort of maturity and understanding woulda' kept this dynasty together. Do you think Kareem woulda' acted like Shaq in his shoes? Hell no...Shaq did it, Shaq requested more money, Shaq requested a trade, Shaq shitted on Mitch and Buss...It was all SHAQ.
