Okay, so my “hometown” of Phoenix just had a big sports day this past Sunday as it hosted an exciting Superbowl game.
That’s big news, of course, but check this out:
From Breitbart and the Associated Press:
MIAMI (AP) - Shaquille O’Neal is prepared for the Miami Heat to trade him, a confidant of the 14-time All-Star center told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.
O’Neal’s associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal anything publicly, indicated a move could be imminent.
“Shaq thinks something will happen,” the associate said.
The Miami Herald reported earlier Tuesday that the Heat are in “serious and ongoing” trade negotiations with the Phoenix Suns. A Heat spokesman said the team had no comment, and several Suns officials didn’t immediately return phone calls from The AP.
The Herald report said the Suns would send Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami in exchange for O’Neal, who is averaging a career-low 14.2 points and has been sidelined for the past two weeks by a lingering hip injury.
When asked last week about another report that a Shaq trade was possible, Heat coach Pat Riley said, “Not true.”
It isn’t known if O’Neal—who has two full seasons remaining after this one on his $100 million, five-year contract—would welcome a trade.
Is it true? We’ll see. Riley says, “no,” after all….
