O'Neal is a star in the NBA, but he really got his ass handed to him at the World Championships. He really wasn't doing much in Portland, especially with Rasheed Wallace in front of him at the 4, so they needed to unload his salary.
Kobe wasn't in the World Championships because his wife had gotten pregnant and he wanted to be with her for all of the doctor's appointments and stuff.
Totally understandable then if his wife was pregnant. Was it a boy or girl? Also, would you go with Wallace or O'Neal? What I would do is keep Wallace at the 4, and move O'Neal to either the 3 or 5.
