Heat Talking To Lakers About Shaq?

**AvengerRam** · #1 (**permalink**) -08-07-2004

There are some rumors floating around that the Heat are talking to the Lakers about Shaq. The supposed offer on the table is Brian Grant, Lamar Odom and a first round pick.

That would be awesome!

It would give the Heat a starting 5 of:

C: Shaq
PF: Udonis Halsem
SF: Caron Butler
SG: Eddie Jones
PG: Dwayne Wade

Here's hoping!

I wonder if the heat could get shaq to shoot free throws underhanded? Either way, look for an overall drop in percentage of successful team free throw attempts.

:tongue:

I don't think Wade will be part of the picture, and it probably will be Lamar Odom instead of Eddie Jones. Jones already had a stint in LA.

Well, it looks like its going to happen for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Grant.

That gives the Heat a core of Shaquille O'Neal, Dwayne Wade and Eddie Jones. If they get some dent role players around them, the Heat should be a factor in the East.

I'm sure attendance will be up a lot, but how hard will Shaq really want to work. i've heard he'll want to prove the lakers wrong and all that stuff, but I don't buy it. The Heat are a young, improving team that should do great in a horrible new division. The Lakers will surely suck next year. The Heat are giving up their future for a presumed better present. Not smart IMO
