The recent big trade of Shaquille O'Neal to the Phoenix Suns is all over sports news, but sports analysts aren't talking about the complications it creates.
Instead, the league must now decide the roster of the replay between the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat.
The replay game was caused when a Hawks' score keeper reported that O'Neal was fouled out with 51.9 seconds left in the game on December 19th.
In reality, O’Neal only had five fouls, leading to an unfair game.
The game resulted in a 117-111 Hawk win in overtime. NBA officials have decided to replay the last 51.9 seconds of the game on March 8th.
O'Neal is not going to be on the roster, but is Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks?
"The league doesn't know," stated Hawks general manager Billy Knight.
When the officials decided to replay the end of the game, they considered the possibility of new Heat players because of O'Neal trade rumors and claimed that a decision would be made when the problem emerges.
My predictions are that the league will not allow Miami to have Marion or Banks on the roster, leaving the Heat short-handed.
