What's the best offseason move in the NBA? The worst?

Doug Russell 6-7 p.m. ET weekdays

Shaq has played in five NBA Finals and won three of them--and he is only 32. The Heat not only gets a center, it gets a franchise. The worst? The Lakers keeping Kobe. His fingerprints were all over the door Phil and Shaq used on their way out.

Jeff Rickard noon-3 p.m. ET weekdays

This discussion begins and ends with one word: Shaq! While Miami changed the fortunes of its franchise overnight, how could the Lakers let the most dominant player in the game get away for nothing? Both teams deserve whatever they get.

T.J. Shanoff 7-10 a.m. ET weekdays

Shaq gives Miami a real team for the first time since Pat Riley had a full head of hair. Add a shooter, and the team will win it all. Meanwhile, three rookies won't help the Celtics. Mark Blount robbed them blind, and they still have Ricky Davis. Ouch.
