For context, Kerr was talking about his controversial decision to send Shawn Marion, who at that time was named an All-Star four times in six seasons, and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat in exchange for a 35-year-old Shaquille O'Neal, who for his part, was already at the tail end of his career.

Steve Kerr didn’t want to speak Wednesday evening about the shocking trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. Instead, the Golden State Warriors’ head coach elaborated about another shocking trade: Shawn Marion for Shaquille O’Neal.

In 2008, the Suns traded beloved star Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat in exchange for a 35-year-old Shaquille O'Neal. Marion, who is six years younger, was a big domino to fall as Phoenix remade their roster.
