And is just twilight-of-his-career Shaq really the most you can get for Shawn Marion? Hardly. Bad trade.
In retrospect, making a move was the right choice in light of the Mavericks acquiring Kidd. They just made a bad move, in my opinion.

Shaq is gonna be nice for them, it'll allow Amare to free lance a lot more and use his athleticism to his advantage and create matchup problems. Shaq, Amare, Hill, and Diaw is a really good and versatile frontline.
Everyone has this negative connotation with Shaq. Yes he's fat and old, but he's going to make his teammates ten times better, and he also knows his role at this point in his career.
