somewhere, byron and chris are dancing a jig for 2 belated xmas presents. bob too i guess for 1. well, ok; maria too.

marion for shaq? i really have nothing against shaq; gotten to the point where i don't like or hate him; used to be all hate. but this one makes no sense; i'll have to wait and see. the suns wanted to get good post-defensively, so they bring in shaq?

don't also forget that you gave up shawn marion, who was primarily responsible for guarding tony parker while raja was trying to swarm over manu during the postseason, so even if that takes care of tim duncan, that still leaves one of the other spurs' penetrators free to do damage; i'd imagine barbosa stepping up as a decent replacement, but still. shawn marion is like tayshaun prince, but on the suns; his value is everywhere, and you really don't know how badly he helps your team until he's gone.

and somewhere i'm imagining jerm has now made the suns his team to hate. he already somewhat disliked raja bell for clotheslining kobe(who knows why).

guess that means golden state is now the only fun-loving team in the nba. (but please cut more)
