The media when this trade went through erupted, they were in shock. Everyone did not believe that the Suns would trade away a young and great Shaun Marion and a great young guy in Marcus Banks to get the 35 year old struggling Shaq. The media went through and interviewed some of the teammates of both teams. This trade was the top story for a few days, but now it really has died. When it first went through, all ESPN shows and sports shows all had breaking news scrolling across the bottom of the screens if they were not already talking about it. I think it is funny on how fast the media reacts and throws out opinions and what not when it comes down to a 14 time all- star in the NBA who gets traded. If it was a young guy who hasn't made it to the top yet, the media would not even made such a big deal, but it is Shaq, you know so they have to all freak out and make a huge deal out of it.
