Right now, I'd doubt I'de trade Shaq for Dampier straight up...
If I was going to take Shaq's awful, awful contract, you'd have to give me about 3 future 1sts, and take nothing but the expirings I dictate that I'll give you.
Right now Shaq is, at best, a middle of the road offensive big man who doesn't rebound or play defense very well. He'd be on the bench on a third of the teams in the league, and he makes 20m+.
Or to put it differently, he's exactly what people like me are terrified Rashard will be in 4 years.

Miami would have to take back some HORRIBLE contracts (think KNICKS contracts) to trade off O'Neal, because they aren't going to get a lot of high-paid, talented players in return.
Besides, Miami's best chance is to win with O'Neal anyway. The guy is still a top center in this league and will be until he retires.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Former A-10 standouts and Associated Press National Players of the Year Jameer Nelson of Saint Joseph's and Xavier's David West have been named to the NBA All-Star team and will square off Feb. 15 in Phoenix, Ariz. It marks Nelson's first All-Star selection, while West earns his second straight honor.

Getting back on the subject on this thread, we still have only won 4 games and that's with Wade the savior back. I like how Shaq has improved his game but I still think we need to trade him while we get the chance. Once again I tend to think that trading him to Orlando would be the best option, for him and for us. Too bad we waiting on that though, now that Ariza got traded to LA, he would have been great here in Miami. But Orlando is playing very very well and they have a lot of good pieces that would use, like Arroyo at the point (did anyone see that he had 14 assist last night in 20 min?), keith bogans behind dwayne wade, heck most importantly Pat Garrity and his three point bombs.We're really missing Jason Kapono right about now. I still think a trade is in order and it would be a win-win for both teams.
Maybe its because I didn't sleep much, but is he really suggesting Garrity is a key piece to our team? Even suggesting trading him for Shaq?

I'm pretty sure that's one of our board members lurking there and stoking the fires...

Makes a lot more sense now. I didn't think the Heat fans were THAT moronic.
