King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

It's official. He's with the Heat. Miami probably won't have much problem attracting free agent forwards to fill out their roster now that O'Neal's in town. How telling is it that Miami got the better end of this deal? Well, as I said before, what they gave up pales in comparison to what they gained and they didn't give up any superstars. The players they got are all good, but they're not even in the same stratosphere as Shaq. Bill Simmons thinks the Lakers screwed up in a bad way. In LA's defense, though, I don't think this move was as bad as the Barkley, Kareem, and Moses trades that Simmons cites. He's probably on to something, though, with the "vengeance factor."
