F/A signing....After the 1995-96 season, O'Neal left the Orlando Magic to join the Los Angeles Lakers, enticed by the allure of a seven-year, $120 million contract. He had always wanted to play for the Lakers.

Trade.
Shaquille O'Neal to Miami, with Los Angeles getting Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant and a first-round draft pick in return.

it really is an undesirable deal for the Suns. To me it type of appears like this finished subject develop into poorly dealt with through the Suns' employer. It did not should be this kind. If the Suns had given Marion a lengthy-time period deal and allow him comprehend they favored him, Marion would not were a issue contained in the locker room. the concept of Shaq making the Suns a extra efficient defensive team is laughable. Marion develop into between the few Suns who performed any protection in any respect, and his versality will be sorely neglected. Shaq hasn't ever cared about playing D and he has no mobility to shield the %. and roll. even as Shaq develop into in his best, you put up with that because he develop into the kind of stress on the offensive end. and that i don't think of Shaq, regardless of his length, may help them a lot rebounding smart. Marion develop into averaging 10 rebounds, and at perfect it really is what Shaq will provide them. And offensively Shaq is merely an undesirable slot contained in the Suns' offense. He won't be able to run and he won't be able to shoot in any respect. it really is the authentic kicker besides the indisputable fact that: Marion has neglected 4 video games finished the previous 3 seasons. Shaq has neglected over 50 video games the previous 2 seasons. adequate suggested.
