The Shaq Deal - What to do Right Now

The deal is still pending but if there is one fantasy move you should do right now it is to go pick up Boris Diaw. Diaw is the clear-cut fantasy winner if this trade goes down. We all know what Diaw can do if he has big minutes (see two years ago). I wouldn’t expect […]

Nash & STAT Want Shaq

Phoenix’s East Valley Tribune says that Stave Nash and Amare Stoudemire were asked yesterday about the possible Shaq/Marion trade and that both were in favor of the deal.
