Analyzing The NBA Trades At The 2008 Deadline

Obviously there have been some big-time trades - Shaquille O'Neal going to the Phoenix Suns, Jason Kidd going to the Dallas Mavericks, and Pau Gasol going to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the trading didn't stop and several trades went down on the last day of the trading deadline. Moving? Ben Wallace and his hairstyles, as well as some others... A LOT of others!

The big trades were crazy. But obviously Paul Gasol is going to make the most impact. I just think Shaq needs to quit being so lazy. I mean when I watched him play his first three games there were numerous times I saw him give up on plays. But Lakers are at the top of the west again and will be NBA champs for the next few years unless the Spurs D can stop them or the Celtics gets a decent Center and Point Guard to help stop them.
