Sources: Suns a 'yes' away from acquiring Shaq for Marion

[SmootSmack]

I don't get that move for the Suns. They're not getting the old Shaq, they're getting old Shaq. He's a shell of his former self, hasn't been able to stay healthy, his style of play isn't a good fit for the Suns and it's a major hit on their salary cap.

It strikes me as a desperation move after the Spurs added to some depth to their bench with the signing of Damon Stoudamire and the Lakers made the great trade for Pau Gasol (how do you like being in Memphis now Juan Carlos?!).

I'm sure if he can get relatively healthy Shaq could help a team down the stretch, but I don't think it's the Suns
