Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted June 23, 2004 To be fair, the Bobcats did say that there is no way that will be their team once the season starts. Although I hope they're not counting on Gerald Wallace and the like drawing big trade offers, because it ain't happening. Brandon Hunter will average a very nice double double for them if they keep him around, I'd say. He looked quite good in the games he got time in last year but for whatever reason, got lost in the line up and benched. Well, until it was time to try to kill Jermaine O Neal.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2004 I would be psyched to see Shaq come to Dallas. He's been my favorite player that actually plays for a long time, (Shawn Bradley hasn't been doing anything for a while and he couldn't even get any minutes this year.), and Dallas has been my favorite team since back when it looked like they might be good when they had Mashburn and Kidd. Even if they get rid of Nowitzki and Finley, they'd still have Nash to shoot the ball when needed and feed Shaq when not, in addition to Daniels who's gonna be a great player and Antawn Jamison. Also, Van Exel's been wanting to come back to Dallas ever since he left, so even if they didn't win it all next year, they would in two years for sure. Could anyone beat this lineup? PG: Steve Nash SG: Nick Van Exel SF: Marquis Daniels PF: Antawn Jamison C: Shaquille O' Neal HELL NO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coming from the other side of this, I don't want to see this trade either. For all his faults Pierce is still the best thing Boston has going too. I'd love to see at least one GOOD Celtic stay in the kelly green for his whole career. Besides we can't trade 2 team captains in 2 consecutive seasons right?

Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2004 Pick might be going to L.A Lakers By Marc Stein ESPN.com The Dallas Mavericks, while still hoping to convince the Los Angeles Lakers to send them Shaquille O'Neal, look to have completed another major trade on the eve of the NBA draft, ESPN.com has learned. The Mavericks, according to league sources, have acquired the No. 5 overall pick in Thursday's draft from Washington as part of a package that features Antawn Jamison, the newly minted Sixth Man of the Year, as the prize catch for the Wizards. The other players involved in the deal were not immediately known. Sources, however, say the Mavericks hope to use the No. 5 pick -- or possibly another player or players acquired in the deal -- to sweeten the package they can offer the Lakers in exchange for the disgruntled O'Neal. It is also possible, sources say, that the Mavericks will pursue additional trades with the other pieces they land from Washington. ESPN.com reported late Tuesday that, according to Lakers sources, L.A. refuses to deal O'Neal to their Western Conference rival unless Dallas makes Dirk Nowitzki available. Mavericks sources maintain that Nowitzki remains off-limits, but the prospect of adding the No. 5 pick to a package that could include point guard Steve Nash (via sign-and-trade), Antoine Walker (who has just one year left on his contract) and promising rookie Josh Howard should at least get the Lakers' attention. If the Lakers do eventually consent to trade O'Neal, in the wake of Shaq's demand for a trade last week, their goal would be injecting their roster with quality youth and depth to surround Kobe Bryant. If the Mavericks can't swing a subsequent deal for the No. 5 pick, they will undoubtedly weigh the merits of drafting Pavel Podkolzine, the 7-foot-5 center from Russia. Jamison's appeal to the Wizards is obvious. Instead of gambling on more youth at No. 5 with an inexperienced roster already, Washington gets an established frontcourt scorer who should contend for an All-Star spot in the East after accepting a bench role without complaint in Dallas.

Guest OraleHolmes Report post Posted June 24, 2004 So, Nash, Walker, Howard and the #5 pick for O'Neal? Walker is garbage, and the Lakers don't need Nash because they already have Payton. As far as I'm concerned, a Shaq-Nash duo would do better than a Shaq-Dirk tandem, because Nash would do a better job of feeding Shaq the ball. Oh, and another thing, couldn't the Mavs have gotten a higher pick for a guy who is capable of averaging 21+ points and 8+ rebounds per game? Only the fifth pick? They should've at least been able to get as high as #3 for Jamison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, Jamison will probably be a bust with the Wizards. Getting rid of Stackhouse and Laettner was the better part of the deal anyway, even if it means they just traded away who they traded Rip Hamilton for.
