Shaq won't let Nash down

[Pugz]

Arizona Republic -
Shaquille O'Neal delivered a title to the Miami Heat , and he hopes to do the same for the Phoenix Suns .

O'Neal spoke with Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire on Tuesday.

"I will not let you down," O'Neal told Nash on the phone.

According to the report in the Arizona Republic, O'Neal is down to 312 pounds and easily passed his physical.

We'll see if he does what he did for the Heat.
I think they got better but it seems that I am the only one who thinks that.

If Shaq is healthy and stays healthy they got better, but Shaq won't have to even do much on this team, pretty much just play defense and open up other people on offense....it will be interesting.

I agree with you Puggy don't worry. I think it is a great addition if he can stay healthy.

Like I said Amare and Shaq is going to be a nightmare to defend. And if they do shut them down, which they won't, they still have Nash/Bell/Diaw/Barbosa/Hill.

They do have the best frontcourt in the league.

There is Shaq in an actual jersey, just look through it.

Also the Heat play tonight, I wonder if Marion will be playing. I doubt it eh?

 

[DJT]

Probably not, maybe just a few minutes, but who knows....I wouldn't be too surprised if he played, not like anything big is happening in Miami.

 

[Pugz]

Marion will prolly play I don't see why he wouldn't.

 

[RipCity32]

Well they haven't even had a press conference yet I don't think lol.

I hope he plays, I wanna see em in a Heat uniform.

What number will Marion be?
Your allowed to change numbers only if you get traded. So I wonder if Ricky Davis will give him 31.

Not true....Amare....used to be #32...switched to #1, Kobe from #8 to #24. You can switch your # whenever.

NOT TRUE.
You need to let the league know ATLEAST ONE YEAR ahead of time.
BUT if you get traded then you can switch numbers with players or pick a new one.

You said ONLY WHEN traded....

 

[RipCity32]

Ya I think Puggy is right about that.

But I doubt Davis will give his number up. Seeing as he is a vetern himself. But he might go back to number 12, like he did when he was in Boston.

BUT, I just checked heat.com and they have Marion listed at number 7 and Banks listed as number 2. So there you have it I guess lol.

Number 7 why?

DJT...Don't get all technical with me lol...You knew what I meant.

 

[RipCity32]

Not a clue, he has used 31 forever. Even in college. But maybe it's cause he is 6-7

 

[DJT]

Number 7 why?

DJT...Don't get all technical with me lol...You knew what I meant.

Actually I didn't, I thought you only meant when they were traded. See they can change it whenever they want if they get permission.

Yea but it HAS to be approved and ONE year ahead of time...So really they can't change it whenever they want.

Rip I looked on google and his College number was 31 and his team USA number is 11..
So number 7 is random I guess.

you know how I feel being a heat fan..I'm happy but sad.. Man I Have to wait 2 months to see shaq again..I was at the heat game 2-3 wks ago.

Western rivalry with the Suns and Lakers, now it'll be a Kobe-Shaq rivalry too. I'd like to see that game, whenever they play.

I don't think they will unless they meet in the Playoffs.
