Why did O Neal leave the Lakers to the Heat in the first place?

Because Kobe Bryant is maturing day by day, and his edge is fully revealed! used to be the boss of Fei Ao, but now Kobe Bryant is up, and he has the ability to compete with Fei Ao for the first spot of the Lakers! So the two became increasingly discordant, which eventually led to Fei Ao running to the Heat!

To put it simply, it is difficult to be Kobe's teammate, and it is even more difficult to be the boss in Kobe's team, this is Kobe's strong desire to win forever and stubborn character, his character is unwilling to be subservient to others, between O'Neal and Kobe, the Lakers chose the younger Kobe Bryant.

Lakers President Jenny Buss was interviewed to clarify a question: O'Neal's departure from the Lakers is not because of Kobe.

Because he felt that the treatment of the Magic team was too bad, and the Lakers had James and Kobe Bryant on their side, and the relationship between the three of them was very good at that time.

O'Neal left the Magic for the Lakers because he didn't negotiate a contract extension with the owner of the Magic team.

Because he felt that it was not enough. He doesn't think he's at his highest level and he's not playing to his best.

Because Kobe Bryant and O'Neal had a conflict at that time, and O'Neal's trade value was very high at that time, he was also very old, and the Heat team satisfied O'Neal's trade**, and he was also very sincere, so he chose the Heat.

Because the strength of the Heat team is relatively strong, and O'Neal was the first center in the team at that time, he is a very talented player, after joining the Heat, he can help the team win the championship, his average points per game reached, and he got rebounds.

This is because the Lakers ultimately chose to trade O'Neal to the Heat in order to avoid competition from Western Conference teams at the time of the trade.

In the NBA fan circle, there has been a saying called "Joe picks Joe, no Joe picks the shark", which means that if the NBA draft history can be rearranged, then if the champion can sign Jordan, Jordan must be chosen, but if there is no Jordan to choose, Shaq O'Neal must be chosen, this sentence also proves that O'Neal is actually no less talented than Jordan, and even in the entire NBA history, there are few players who can be better than O'Neal.

However, after the failure of the playoffs in 2004, the Los Angeles Lakers finally decided to send O'Neal away, and Olney, who was 32 years old at the time, still caused a ** in the free transfer market, and finally the Miami Heat took out almost all their belongings, traded O'Neal, and relied on O'Neal to win the first championship in the team's history. So do you know how the entire league reacted at the time when the Lakers released the news of trading O'Neal? This big shark, who can be called the No. 1 center in NBA history, can be said to be the team that can try to come up with chips, all of them!

In 2004, the Lakers formed an F4 combination composed of O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, and Payton, and O'Neal was still the undisputed No. 1 center in the league at that time, and he averaged points, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game in the regular season. The power has not diminished in the slightest, and it is fair to say that O'Neal was still the best player in the league at the time.

However, in the Finals, the Lakers were finally defeated by the civilian legion Detroit Pistons, and the team's gamble ended in failure, coupled with the fact that Kobe and O'Neal turned against each other, it was difficult for them to coexist with each other, and finally decided to part ways, and the Lakers management weighed it again and again, and finally chose to keep the younger Kobe Bryant, and gave up the 32-year-old O'Neal, and this decision also completely broke O'Neal's heart, and the trade became inevitable.

At that time, the NBA was strong in the West and weak in the East, and the Heat was only a weak team in the East, Pat Riley took out all the players on the team except Wade in order to get O'Neal, and even said at that time, except for Wade, the Heat used Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and a draft pick that later selected Farmar to get O'Neal in a four-for-one way, it can be said that the Lakers in this transaction, due to O'Neal's huge influence, is really dazzling!

So compared to Kobe, you must know that the 29-year-old peak Kobe Bryant tried to seek a trade, and the best ** obtained was only the Bulls' Noah, Ben Gordon, Nocioni and Thomas, when the Lakers asked to add Lul Deng to the trade, the Bulls immediately refused, which can also see how high the trade value of O'Neal was at that time!

July 18, 1996 was the 25th birthday of "Penny" Haddawi, but on that day, "Big Shark" O'Neal did not throw a birthday party for his former good brother Haddawi, because he was doing something more important ——— sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

There are many theories about why O'Neill left Orlando, but many believe that his departure is related to Haddawi, or that "Big Shark" was forced away by "pennies".

O'Neill and Haddawi's first two seasons together were on very good terms. In the 1995-96 season, Hardawayy's popularity rivaled Jordan and Hill, and the Magic's No. 1 jersey became Orlando's best-selling item, and it was only then that the relationship between O'Neal and Hardaway underwent a subtle change. While O'Neill remains the unshakable core of the team, Haddawi's commercial value is far above O'Neal's.

To the Magic, the "Shark" is their treasure, but in comparison, they seem to want to make "Penny" happy. So, when O'Neal's four-year rookie contract was about to expire, the Magic were reluctant to offer the "Shark" a particularly high price tag because they "didn't want to upset Penny." This reason deeply hurts O'Neal, who can not care about the money but cannot tolerate the team's contempt.

In the summer of 1996, O'Neal's contract with the Magic expired, and the Lakers signed O'Neal to a seven-year, $100 million contract. According to reports, the Lakers promised to give O'Neal 35 tickets per game, and "Magic" Johnson was willing to give up his private garage in the arena to O'Neal——— which is not only a matter of money, but also the respect that O'Neal needs.

O'Neill's departure had a great impact on Haddawi. However, there is a very popular saying about the breakup of the two, that is: because O'Neal joined the Magic a year earlier than Haddawi, if the Magic team renews O'Neal with the maximum salary, then a year later, they will not be able to give Haddawi such a high salary, so Hadaway privately put pressure on the Magic team, and finally caused the Magic to let O'Neal go.

After O'Neal left Los Angeles, the always low-key "penny" released wild words before the start of the new season: he wants to be the league's scoring champion! However, shortly after the start of the season, he suffered a knee injury.

Before the injury was healed, the Magic asked Penny to play on the grounds of poor results, and Penny was soon injured again. Since then, injuries have been a lingering shadow for Haddawi. Hardaway didn't live up to his promise of a leading scorer, and the Magic never reached the heights of the "Shark Era" again.

Because Shaq and Penny moved to the Lakers because of a labor dispute.

turned around, Kobe Bryant began to have no enmity with him. Later, for various reasons.

Because he didn't average 30 per game in the regular season, plus he never won the basketball king, and then he only had the championship in his eyes, and his shots were relatively low, not as high as Kobe.

He was abandoned by the Lakers and Heat because his strength had declined seriously, and he was abandoned by the Magic because the Magic couldn't afford to pay the salary.

Because he was very disobedient to the rules, due to his large size, he would often smash the barricade, which led to the forced suspension of the game.

<> actually understands that everyone knows how strong O'Neill's strength is. It can be said that O'Neal was the leader of the Lakers when Kobe Bryant didn't grow up, and he won three championships with the immature Kobe, this is his strength, not to mention that it was still a single-core model at that time, O'Neal in the center position of the band belongs to the existence of the league's "first brother", so it is really not difficult to lead the team to win the championship, just after Kobe Bryant grew up, he left the Lakers, I think it is really a big loss for the Lakers, if I can continue to join forces with Kobe, I think I will really win a lot of championship trophies.

The perfect combination of inside and out:

O'Neal is really very strong on the inside, it can be said that it is ridiculously strong, and even strong enough to change the rules of the game, so the Lakers with O'Neal never worry about the interior problem, who makes O'Neal able to attack and defend, and also has a very flexible athleticism, which is called the perfect center. Kobe Bryant has gradually grown up after a few years of tempering, although his performance is slightly inferior to O'Neal's, but he has been able to squeeze himself into the four quarterbacks, and his strength will be worse than **. Especially Kobe's excellent performance on the outside, the combination of the two will really be very strong.

Single-core transformation dual-core:

In their time, it was normal for a single core to lead a team to win a championship, just like Jordan, so strong that he led the entire team to two triple championships on his own, which was the result of his continuous growth. I think O'Neal would really move the league forward for a long time if he wasn't traded away and formed a dual-core front with Kobe Bryant on the team, because the current model is multi-core. I think O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will really blow up the rest of the league, and it will be very easy to win the championship, so the Lakers will always have a super luxurious lineup, just like now, when all the teammates grow up, they will definitely win the top of the league.

I think O'Neal will win more championships with Kobe Bryant if he doesn't leave the Lakers. O'Neal was the leader of the Lakers when Kobe Bryant was not growing up, and he won three championships with an immature Kobe, which is his strength.

Yes, if two people can cooperate well, then they can get more championships, they can have more strength, and the attack and defense of two people are particularly good, and no opponent can resist.

In fact, the ultimate reason for his departure was because of salary. The player also plays for the salary, and if the salary is not negotiated, the cooperation will eventually fail, so this is also the reason why he left that year.

Of course it's not like this, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's relationship is very good, so there is no such statement. The real situation is that O'Neal's development in the Lakers is not particularly good, and it is also limited by the Lakers, plus the Lakers can't provide O'Neal with a better platform, so you will also leave the ** Arrows.

Not really; Because O'Neal's peak ability is no longer there, and the amount he wants to renew his contract is more than the Lakers originally planned.

On July 15, 2004, Beijing time, the Lakers and the Heat completed a trade, and the Lakers traded O'Neal for the Heat for Caron Butler, Ramar Odom, Bryan Grant and a future first-round pick.
