I don't think so. As a GM you would have thought based on their play during the season they had enough to win the East. But they really could not handle Howard and the Magic. Shaq actually had a good year and as long as he is playing with a great player(Wade, Nash, Lebron) is still going to be a factor. He can't be moved from the basket and when they inevitably to to help on Lebron he will be wide open. Just like he has been for the previous two. Sure he ain't the dominant player he once was but he is a mountain at both ends. Nobody will outmuscle him.
Plus it's a one year try it out deal. It's win all the way and a nice move for the Suns as well. They are going to just blow it up and start over and this was step one.
