I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think the Lakers made the right decision in trading Shaq. Shaq is a shell of his former self.

Shaq is a shell of his former self.People finally starting to see things...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.
I was right. Shaq is a joke.
