Shaq DOES NOT submit list

[FineCubanCigar]

your line of reasoning doesn't explain why they reported Shaq submited 8 teams he would consider a trade to, mine does. It was reported it was an "offical" list. Have fun with your denial trip.

Umm FCC, can you give some links, bud?

PE is exactly right here. Everything that is being mentioned is inference from very little. Shaq said he liked Dallas, then his manager said he didnt want to play on a crap team. Suddenly he is demanding to be moved to Dallas.

FCC creates the post, "Shaq submits list" and claims it's ESPN but provides no link. Link isnt found on ESPN.com

A team source told the AP on condition of anonymity that O’Neal had requested a trade.

ESPN uses almost the same words. I havent seen a reputable article, much less a quote attributed to someone in power that contains the list. O'Neal told the Los Angeles Times he was no longer happy with the team's direction, saying it had changed in the years since former general manager Jerry West

LA Times reports, '"We want to be in an environment where we can win," said Mike Parris, O'Neal's business manager. "We want a team that is committed to winning."' then goes on into speculation when saying, "O'Neal is believed to be willing to approve of about eight franchises. And while he cannot block a trade to an undesirable franchise, he could refuse a contract extension."

I'm open to an article that says Mr. Diesel has a list, but none of the stuff I've browsed adds up to Shaq making a list.

TV and radio are notorious for being poor sources of information because once the words escape the mouth of the talking head they are gone. Text is scrutinized. There is also the factor of hearing it only once that may have made words like "probably" and other words dissapear from memory.

The only text that says anything close to that is pure speculation and is quoted above. If something as dramatic as Shaq drawing up exact plans to move out, it would be everywhere, including in text. This evening I listened to the radio and ESPN reported that ex-warrior, Larry Hughes was coming to Dallas in the trade. That obviously wasnt repeated very long and will not appear in text.
