On Shaq’s Failure to ‘Win a Ring for the King’ DwyaneWade, KobeBryant, LebronJames, ShaquilleOneal, Suns News | (0)
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Cavaliers, Heat, Lakers, SunsThe 2007 NBA Finals have long been the perfect example of how great teams beat great players. In that series, LeBron James, the greatest player on the planet, couldn't do enough for the Cavaliers to steal even one game from the solid, deep Spurs. It wasn't as if San Antonio didn't have great players in Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. It was that LeBron was clearly the best player involved in the series, and because of the teams' imbalance, he couldn't get a single win. Supporting casts really, really matter. I dare ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Grizzlies, Kings, Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, WarriorsOne could call Devean George a professor of pranks. The 11-year veteran became an expert while on the wrong end of them frequently as a rookie before doling out many later in his career. The Golden State Warriors' forward has seen plenty in his day, but he still was quite surprised to learn about the April Fool's prank played on Denver forward Kenyon Martin. Not only is the rugged Martin one of the most humorless players in the NBA, he's a 10-year man. "He's a veteran,'' George said about the prank in which ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Celtics, Clippers, Grizzlies, Lakers, Pistons, Rockets, Suns, Timberwolves, NBA All-Star GameI wrote in September that perhaps there would be no worthy center to start for the West in the All-Star Game. But this isn't the way I want to see that solved. Do it on the court, not with the ballot. When the All-Star ballot came out Tuesday, Phoenix power forward Amar'e Stoudemire strangely was listed as a center. Yes, Stoudemire has played center before, but he's started all eight games for Suns this season at power forward, with Channing Frye being the starting ...

Filed under: Clippers, Hornets, Jazz, Lakers, Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Suns, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, WarriorsBylaws have been checked. Rules have been scrutinized.And, yes, it has been determined the West must start a center in February's All-Star Game in Dallas.So, gentlemen, lace up your high tops. The race to be the starting center for the West is as wide open as the Yukon Territory.Houston's Yao Ming, who has been voted by fans the starter the past seven years (he did miss the 2007 game due to injury), won't play before the All-Star Break due to a fractured foot. It will be interesting ...

Suns Pay Ben Wallace $10 Million to Go Away Ben Wallace, BenWallace, Channing Frye, ChanningFrye, Grant Hill, GrantHill, Shaquille O'Neal, ShaquilleOneal, Suns News, Tyson Chandler, TysonChandler | (0)
Filed under: Cavaliers, Hornets, Pistons, Suns, NBA TransactionsThe trade of Shaquille O'Neal was just as intriguing from the Phoenix side as it was the Cleveland end, even though the Cavs got the best player (by far) in the exchange. While clearly a cap-cutting move for the Suns, the return package of Sasha Pavlovic and Ben Wallace provided a flexible cap situation in which Phoenix had the potential to offer a retiring Wallace to a cash-hurt team needing to unload a well-paid player.That particular avenue was closed Monday, however, as Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports the Suns bought out ...

Shaq Says Blazers Tried to Trade for Him brandon roy, BrandonRoy, Shaquille O'Neal, ShaquilleOneal, Steve Kerr, SteveKerr, Suns News | (0)
Filed under: Cavaliers, Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA RumorsThe deal that sent Shaquille O'Neal to the Cavaliers last week had been rumored since the trade deadline back in February, so it wasn't exactly a huge surprise. But had Shaq gone to another team -- like, say, the Portland Trail Blazers -- that would have been a pretty shocking development, mainly because we hadn't heard even a whisper of that being a possibility.Apparently, though, the Blazers were indeed in talks with the Suns to bring O'Neal to Portland. This semi-bombshell comes from Shaq himself, who also says that the talks came to ...
