Remember the old saying, “Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear?” The Clippers may own up to that very famous quote.

There are only four teams left in the NBA playing, yet the teams that aren’t are making all the noise on a Tuesday morning. We will start in Dallas, where rumors are circulating via the Dallas Morning News that the deal that almost happened before the All-Star break involving Shaquille O’ Neal could go down now. The proposed trade would have Phoenix sending Shaq to the Mavericks for Erick Dampier and Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse would like go the route of many veterans past their prime and get bought out, which would give the Suns salary cap relief. With that money the Suns could then re-sign Amare Stoudemire to a long term deal, and build around him for the future.

Surprisingly another Sun that may be on his way out is Steve Nash. Marc Stein of ESPN reports that five teams are at the top of the list of potential suitors for the former MVP, with the Blazers being the one with the best prospects to send back to Phoenix. Stein proposes a possible deal that would have Travis Outlaw and Jerryd Bayless headed to the Suns for Nash, thus helping Portland with a veteran, and bringing in youth to play alongside Amare.
