"Thunder Bringing The Noise"With the recent acquisitions of Dirk Nowitzki and Shaq "I eat babies" O'Neal, the Thunder just might have assembled the best front court in the entire league. The Thunder traded fan favorites Michael Redd and Marcus Camby along with AK-47 and Thabo Sefolosha to Dallas for Dirk, Rip Hamilton, Anthony Parker, and Donyell Marshall. Then the Thunder GM turned around Parker, Marshall and another fan favorite and the longest tenured Thunder player Chris Wilcox to the Lakers for Shaq. The GM of the Thunder spoke about the trade and said, "We have 1 goal this year and that is to hoist that NBA trophy at the end of the season. We feel we have taken huge risks here bringing in older players with big salaries, but we feel this can be the year. We want to give our new fan base, The Oklahoma City Fans, something to cheer about in our 1st season here." With Charles Barkley at head coach, yes THEE Charles Barkley, the veteran leadership will have to be more vocal as Barkley is a 1st time coach. When Charles was asked about the recent trades he responded by saying, "Man, I ain't got to do sh*t anymore. I will just chill on the bench, drink a little Brandy, and enjoy the game. When you have guys like Dirk, Shaq, Rip, and Andre Miller you don't have to do anything. You just admire." If anything, the OKC locker room might be the place to be. Where else can you find Dirk, Shaq, & Sir Charles in the same room? "The Source"

Denver Times: Hey if you guys make the finals you think Barkley will pull a Pete rose? On a serious note if you guys don't win the championship, would you regret the shaq deal because you'll be stuck with his 20 mill contract next season?

Okay. from a totally neutral perspective because Detroit's list was biased lol. Btw, were talking PF/C combinations here, so thats why Marion/Yao isnt number 1.
1. Shaq/Dirk 2. Marion/Yao 3. Boozer/Chandler 4. Howard/Wallace 5. Okur/West

He has 2 years/20 Million a year left. I am financially burdened for at least 1 off-season (the next one)
