This Could Really Be SHAQTASTIC!!!!!

We are just about 26 hours away from the Christmas Day rematch and I can only think of one way to make this game better......

The Los Angeles Lakers lost their starting center, Andrew Bynum, Saturday to a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee which will keep him out 8-12 weeks. Obviously this will hurt the Lakers front line but I have a solution. I don't know if Steve Kerr or Mitch Kupchack can swing this deal before tomorrow night, but I know of one person who wants this to happen.

Honestly, I was convinced that he hated Jerry Buss, Phil Jackson, Kupchack and of course Kobe Bryant and would never want to return, but today a report on NBC Sports surfaced stating Shaquille O'Neal wants to return. I've done my due diligence and I can make this trade work. Who doesn't want to see "The Diesel" along side Kobe and Phil entering the Garden for 7 game series for the NBA Finals. If we thought last year was big, having the most charismatic NBA player of this generation in the equation makes the rivalry off the charts.

So Mitch and Steve, this is all you have to do to make this happen. Send Shaq and his $21M (for the next two years) in exchange for Lamar Odom, Chris Mihm, DJ Mbenga and cash. This deal works.....LA gets Shaq back, while Phoenix clears up $14M in cap space for next year, putting themselves under the luxury tax and flexibility to rebuild from their aging club.

So join the club, help me make this happen. Shaq back with the Lakers will indeed be SHAQTASTIC!!!!!
