Two things when I think about Shaq:
Phoenix was either so far gone on the idea of defense that the idea of Shaq's interior presence didn't matter at all...or it was a bunch of bull. I would say that it was the fact that Phoenix didn't give a flip about defense.
Health, did the Phoenix training staff figure out how to fix injury-prone players? Look at him and Hill, they pretty much made it through the year and didn't have major setbacks. If he was here, how could we make sure that would be able to happen again?
