The Suns having O'Neal as an anchor...similar to that anchor Chris
Webber at Golden State. I still give Steve Kerr a lot of credit for
at least trying to make the Suns better and Marion wasn't happy with
the Suns anyway so at least they got something for him. However, the
Marion and D'Wade combo, once they get a team around them, will
eventually pay more dividends than Shaq and the entire Suns team.
