LBJ, Flash, CB4: Future Suns?

I know everyone is sacred of the Shaq trade after the past few games, but has anyone looked at the long term picture?

  1. In three years, Shaq, Nash and Bell's contracts will all come up, resulting in about 38 million off the cap
  2.  Diaw will be in the last year of his contract, making him very good trade-bait
  3.  The same summer, LeBron James,  Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh all become free agents
Are you telling me we couldn't lure one of those three out west?  Phoenix has always been a free-agent draw, and they'll also be able to team up with Amare and Barbosa.  Even if the Shaq trade works out horribly, we are still in a position for a relatively quick rebound.
