Over the weekend, the pieces of the Laker puzzle began to take shape...on Friday, Phil Jackson confirmed what many suspected, that he would not return to the team for 2004-2005. The Lakers quickly reacted--contacting Rudy Tomjanovich about the newly-vacated head coach position. But the BIG, backboard-shattering news was that Shaquille O'Neal was demanding a trade, which, if consumated, would be certain to be one of, if not the biggest trade in NBA history. Who could/would take Shaq's $27 mil salary, while also giving the Lakers enough in return? ESPN's Chad Ford and David Aldridge have some possible scenarios....here are a few of the more intriguing and/or plausible:
SCENARIO 1:
DALLAS DIESEL -- Shaq goes to Dallas for Dirk Nowitzki and Antoine Walker
SCENARIO 2:
SHAQRAMENTO -- Shaq to the Kings for Chris Webber, Brad Miller, Bobby Jackson, and Anthony Peeler
SCENARIO 3:
THE BIG HOOSIER -- Shaq & Derek Fisher to Indiana for Jermaine O'Neal, Al Harrington, Austin Croshere and Scot Pollard
SCENARIO 4:
THE WEST REUNION -- Shaq to Memphis for Pau Gasol, Bonzi Wells (or James Posey), Lorenzen Wright and Bo Outlaw
SCENARIO 5:
THE DADDY AND THE KID -- Shaq & Luke Walton to Cleveland for Carlos Boozer, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Tony Battie, Kedrick Brown, DeSagana Diop and Ira Newble
SCENARIO 6:
THE DADDY AND THE KIDD -- Shaq to New Jersey for Kenyon Martin, Kerry Kittles, and Rodney Rogers
SCENARIO 7:
THE JAILBLAZER ALTERNATIVE -- Shaq to Portland for some combo of Zach Randolph or Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Derek Anderson or Damon Stoudamire, Theo Ratliff or Dale Davis, and a draft pick
