Well, you are talking about a change in approach making you not even able to contend anymore. Are you serious?
Look, a major--MAJOR--part of the reason why the Suns have success is that they are so extraordinarily athletic and talented. It's not as much about the system as a lot of people make it out to be. The system itself breaks down into some very fundamental things. They pick-and-roll, they shoot threes at a good clip, they force turnovers and get out on the break. Wouldn't every single NBA team like to do those things as well as the Suns do?
With Shaq in place of Marion they will look different, yes. But everyone else on the roster won't suddenly not be able to do anymore all the things that they do well.
And hell, even if this does mean that they look entirely different, I've been hearing on this board ever since I got here that you can't win a title by running up and down the floor. So in that respect, this is a win-win for the Suns--if said notion is true.
