I know everyone is sacred of the Shaq trade after the past few games, but has anyone looked at the long term picture?
- In three years, Shaq, Nash and Bell's contracts will all come up, resulting in about 38 million off the cap
- Diaw will be in the last year of his contract, making him very good trade-bait
- The same summer, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh all become free agents
