| Is it time to trade Shaq? I-D-O-U-T
Miami Heat | Sun-Sentinel Blogs: Trade Shaq? (Part 4) Quote:
Of the report from respected NBA writer Sam Smith, O'Neal said, "Obviously, it's an idiot like Sam stirring up trouble."
Of South Florida media picking up on Smith's report, O'Neal said, "You all should be spanked for this."
Of Riley moving quickly to discount the rumor, O'Neal said, "Sam has no credibility after this, whatsoever."
And of Smith raising the possibility from a distance, O'Neal said, "I promise he wouldn't say that to my face in a dark alley, where it's just me and him and no witnesses. I guarantee he wouldn't say that to me, guarantee it."
Knowing Sam all these years, I could probably guarantee that. Sam might be quick with a rumor (just ask Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich or anyone else who helped Chicago advance to the second round), but he's not stupid.
Then again, even on that O'Neal offered a view, "Sam is an idiot -- i-d-o-u-t -- idiot."
