Sources: Suns a 'yes' away from acquiring Shaq for Marion

[Monkeydad]

It makes no sense. Shaq should have retired 2 or 3 years ago. He can't stay healthy and won't be healthy for a while still. It has nothing to do with cap room, although Marion has said he's unhappy being the third option for the Suns for a while.

The Suns offense is based on running and scoring a LOT of points. Shaq can't run, so they'll either have to go down the court on breaks without him, or slow down to a half-court offense to use him. Amare can move to his natural position, but Shaq is not the Center they needed.

My only thinking is that they feel they can't win with their current system and wanted a big man to compete with San Antonio, Dallas and now the Lakers with Pau Gasol.

Stupid move.

Robbery by the Heat though. Maybe they can move out of the basement now.
