First there was the Shaq to Phoenix gimmick. Then there was the Vince Carter over Hedo Turkoglu decision in Orlando. Then there was the Shaq to Cleveland fiasco. Then there was the Richard Jefferson upgrade in San Antonio. Then there was the Rasheed Wallace pickup in Boston.
Now the superfriends (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Amar’e Stoudemire and maybe even Chris Paul) are giving serious thought to joining forces.
Why?
James, Wade, Stoudemire and Paul aren’t getting any younger, but each of them (barring injury) has as at least many playing days ahead of them as they do behind them.
So where does the sudden desperation stem from?
Can it be that the other teams across the NBA are still trying to catch up to the Lakers’ acquisition of Pau Gasol?
