PHIL JACKSON IS OUT!

**King GTS** · June 18th, 2004, 11:39 PM

COWARD!

And Shaq is demanding to be traded!!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked[/img]

That had nothing to do with Phil though. Word is he hated the triangle. It's because the owner won't give him the money he wants.

Isn't Shaq asking to be traded as well???

I think Leno just said he wanted out. Koby gone also?

Looks like Vanessa's husband still has a job. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

I just heard that he wanted 30 million more than the owner had to give him. That Jerry Bus wanted him to do like Kevin Garnett did and take a pay cut for the good of the team. And that he would be taken care of in the long run. Well Shaq aint havin that. His people are looking for another team as we speak. Looks like LA will be Kobes team. I think this is what Shaq meant in his press conference after the game when he said everyone was gonna do what was best for them....including him.

Shaq is pissed that Kupchak said he would trade Shaq if he demanded it. He missed his exit interviews and one source, only one, has said he is now demanding a trade. Kobe and Malone have opted out. Fisher and Payton still can opt out. Phil has only said he wont be coaching, he may still be with the organization in another capacity.

Possible coaches are Karl, Bibby, and Tomjanovich so far.

I did read about a trade to Indiana, basically an O'neal swap. TMac is also asking to be traded.

It seems the owner is really pushing for Kobe and if I was Shaq I might be miffed too.

**King GTS** · June 18th, 2004, 11:51 PM

Word is Houston is pushing the hardest for T Mac.

**King GTS** · June 19th, 2004, 12:01 AM

Believe it or not Allen, Kupchak said that he would trade Shaq. But he would do anything possible to keep Kobe. I was surprised.

I heard the triangle is really a pink triangle, if you know what I mean.

**Snake Bitten** · June 19th, 2004, 12:06 AM

It's like the Democrats...the whole team is jumping ship...imploding!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

What a bunch of egotistical crybabies. It's no wonder people are loosing interest in pro sports.

**King GTS** · June 19th, 2004, 12:13 AM

I'd bet the house that Bus comes up with $30 million! This is what you call the squeeze.

**SoCal Rebell** · June 19th, 2004, 12:35 AM

Wow can you imagine Shaq on the Mavs [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

Trey he said he would trade Shaq if Shaq asked to be traded, and thats what has Shaq pissed off. Kobe showed up for exit interviews and he doesnt get along with Phil, Shaq loved Phil and he bailed on his so he must really be pissed.

He has a house in Houston and family here. Cuban would certainly pay him what he wanted and has the balls to do it.

You shut up. Shaq will never be traded to a western conference team. I cannot see that happenning, unless we get KG or TD in return.

E-Slab · June 19th, 2004, 12:57 AM

Shaq is going to the Mavs? i do know that he and Cuban are buddies
