being from Indiana, i have mixed feelings on shaq.
i think he's really only as good as his size, speed, and strength dictate. i loathed my team playing against him in Orlando, and in LA. i think he's mentally a big pushy rich kid. he's going to have his hands full in Miami trying to be the go to guy, even though they'll be a definite threat in the east.
all that said, i was tired of the Lakers domination, and glad to see an eastern team (even though Detroit ruined our chance at the finals) win a title again.
maybe there really was no way for the Lakers to move on with Shaq in the current situation? if that's the case, both teams are winners, getting rid of someone who won't keep the team playing as a TEAM was probably the best move they could make.
i dunno. the nba is like a complex jigsaw puzzle filled with overpaid athletes, overblown egos, a few winners and lots of losers.
