oh, not a good sign -- and definately a sign that PJ is on his way out. Perhaps they will trade Shaq after this season. Hmm, who could we get for Shaq? The entire starting line-up of the Sacramento Kings? Nah, they would have to throw in their next 10 years of draft picks and cash for Shaq -- hmm, perhaps the entire Dallas squad? Maybe, as long as they keep Antoine Walker and Nelly!
Except Shaq is slowly losing it, Kobe is more likely to leave before Phil, and Phil probably has no interest staying if Kobe leaves and Shaq starts to further deteriorate.
And for my money, Peja alone is worth more then the balance of that aging Laker team, sans Shaq, even with those HOF'ers limping around Staples. With Shaq, we might consider throwing in Vlade, but only if that middle-of-the-pack first round draft pick is thrown in that the Lakers appear to be working hard to wrap up before the trading deadline.
Actually, that poor King's team is struggling along just fine.
