Talkin about it now on ESPN, looks like A'mare might go to Cleveland or Chicago but will probably stay.

A'mare was saying that supposedly the only reason he was getting traded was for financial reasons. IMO they may keep him now with the new coach coming up.

I give a lot of credit to Shaq...at the ASG last night when he was asked about Porter's impending firing he basically said it was unprofessional to talk about something like that at an all-star game.

Shaq has been around the business long enough not to step on his tongue. There are only so many seasons left in that body before he turns in the jersey for a suit. He'd make one hell of a "big man" coach for somebody (probably Miami, LA or some other location with great weather and great beaches).

Porter lost the team. The players seem to like Gentry, so I wonder what will happen with the Suns.

I hope hey win just for Shaq, so they can knock out LA in the first round.

Read Scoop Jackson's column on the Suns/Shaq on ESPN.com if you can find it, its really good.
