I have to say the Heat are better off in the long run, and a BIG maybe for the Suns in the short run, all depending on Shaq's health and ability to contribute to the team. If I were the Suns, I don't think I would've risked it, but at the same time, looking at it from their perspective, they haven't been able to win a championship with the team they have, so I guess it is time for a drastic change before Nash wears out.
I don't think I'll have my mind made up on this until we actually see the Suns play, if this deal does indeed go down.
Anyway, go Warriors! Can't wait to see Webber play Thursday.
