    Default Phil Jackson said in his book about the 2004 season that ...

    He wanted to trade Kobe for Shawn Marion and Jason Kidd. If he pulls that off and Shaq stays, how many championships do they win? Assume it's at the 2000 trade deadline.

    la wins in 2004/05/06/07. Imagine almost prime shaq being fed by kidd and not by some emotionally unstable shot jacker.

    none


    kobe - saved 2000 wcf game 7
    kobe - 30/7/6 2001 playoffs
    kobe - saved 2002 wcf game 7
    shaq - 350 pounds and no motivation since 2003
    shaq - no diet and conditioning turn around out of spite for kobe
    shaq - no 2005 or 2006 good seasons after letting go even more


    shaqs record as #1 option

    1993 - swept
    1994 - swept
    1995 - swept
    1996 - lost 1-4
    1997 - swept
    1998 - swept
    1999 - swept
    2000 - title ( but saved by kobe )


    other than those years. every other year someone else took pressure off shaq as FGA's leader

    shaq was never good as the #1 guy on offense. he was efficient. not a great leader


    the only reason shaq won those finals mvps was because kobe got him there so he could beat up on some weak east teams

    shaq was a back to the basket 1 on 1 post player. not a tyson chandler pick and roll guy

    shaq brags all the time about it and tells dwight to be more like how he was.

    it wouldnt have mattered if kidd was there.

    infact. kidds talents would have went to waste due to the triangle offense

    and also shaq wouldnt have had a great inside/out combo attack due to kidd not being a great shooter at the time. nore could he create his own shot


    a guy like kidd is only good in an offense with a ton of athletic wings and guys to run the floor. he is a ball dominant PG

    thats not how phil runs things. and it would have failed


    the only way jacksons offense ever worked was with Point/forwards or shooting guards that pass while the traditional pg was replaced by a guy who just sat in the corner for kick out threes. ( ala kerr/paxson/fisher etc.. )
