I think i've heard that way too much from the "Big Cactus" lately. So it's only been 5 games since the "Diesel" joined the Suns and they are 2-3. So it's been a bit too early to start passing judgement. But lets take a look at what "Superman's" been averaging. In his first 5 games with the suns, he's been averaging a 53% FG shooting, 10.4 rebs, and 10.4 PTs. Wow! "The Big Aristotle" has been averaging double doubles! He's been contributing to the Suns, but yet they are still losing. Amare's numbers are up, and the "M.D.E ( Most Dominant Ever)" is contributing, so what's the problem? No Marion. They are missing the Matrix. He's the hustler. Rebounds, scoring, forcing To's. The Brazillian Blur's numbers are down since they acquired The "L.C.L ( Last Center Left)". In the first 6 games of Feb, he averaged 20 pts. The last five games, he only averages 14.2. Why is this? "Wilt Chamberneazy's" clogging up the paint, plain and simple. A big guy needs big attention. Ok, ok. He's old and is no longer the same as he used to be before, but defenders still need to show him the respect down low. The Brazillian blur loves cutting into the paint for his easy layups, but with defenders doubling up on Shaq, the paint is congested. I dont know what Suns need to do, but they need to do it fast. A few more losses and they can kiss their playoff hopes good bye. Gasol didn't need much time to gel. Their team chemistry is excellent! Just one thing I can say about acquiring Gasol, 12-1. Which actually should have been 13-0. Of the top eight teams in the west, they have the worst record versus the Western Conference. Lakers, of course, have the best record versus the west. If you wanna make it out of the Wild Wild West, you must beat the Wild Wild West teams. Either the trade for shaq wasn't what Kerr thought it'll turn out to be, or Shaq isn't the missing piece they needed for the Chip. Either way, they need to hurry it up or Shaq's new nickname could be "The Big Dud"

This is what it has come to. After picking up his fourth ring with the Heat, everything seems to be going downhill for him. Shaq has suffered nothing but injuries this season. He is no longer the Diesel that he called himself. All is left is just watered down 87 Unleaded.

What have been a great move for him to do is to be a man and stick with his team, and retire at the end of the season. But what does he do? He jumps ship and leaves behind D-Wade, the post Kobe guard.  So he was able to get one ring with Wade, and three with Kobe, but that was in the past, and he's not the same anymore. His numbers are at a record low across the board.  With his patented post up spin move not that affective anymore, what else does he have left, but the 325lb frame?

So Shaq is traded to the Suns today. Good move or bad move? The Suns are notorious for their running game. How will shaq fit in? The answer is very simple. He won't. While the ball's already at half court and Nash pushing it down, Shaq will be in the backcourt gasping for air. So this means the Suns have to change their technique to keep Shaq in the loop. This meaning no more run and gun Suns. What does this mean for the Sun's? A new begining. Doesn't mean that it's a bright begining. Good luck trying to rebuild with Shaq.
