The Heat has finally gotten rid of Shaq after missing fourteen games this year for Miami. After their Championship year, Shaq has not performed the way they thought he should, nor the way he has in the past. On the the other side of the trade, Shawn Marion has done very well for the Suns, but he wanted out. The Suns thought that Shaq would be a great fit in Phoenix, and that he would be the one to put them over the edge in the West.
Shawn Marion has played one game with the Heat, it was a heart breaking loss to the Lakers in which Marion played the way anybody would expect him to. Marion getting a double double in his Miami debut is a big boost to the moral of the Heat organization and fans.
Shaq has yet to make his first appearance on the court with the Suns, and he is not expected to tomorrow against Golden State, but when he does, we will see what these Suns are capable of in the West.
