Billy King spent $25 million on an Entenmann's for the last meeting.

The Ghost of Tom Gordon

]]> <![CDATA[]]> Essentially this happened because Kerr couldn't deal Marion to Boston or Memphis for KG or Gasol, so he got desperate to dish Marion before he opted out.

Still a shite trade. The only explanation for "added defense" that Kerr cites is that putting Shaq's bulk in the middle is better than the non-defense Phoenix currently plays.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> The facts:

1) Shaq is 35 going on 60.
2) Shaq is still owed about $40 million over the next two years.
3) Shaq can't run the fast break.
4) Shawn Marion is the perfect forward for the Phoenix small-ball offense.

Brilliant trade Kerr! Isiah welcomes you to the "Idiotic GMs Club". They serve cake every Thursday.

Fucking brilliant.
