azcentral sports' Jay Dieffenbach and Greg Moore discuss ASU and the Suns in our Shot Clock video.
Almost exactly 10 years ago, Feb. 6, 2008, Suns General Manager Steve Kerr tried to get Phoenix to a championship by dismantling the “Seven Seconds or Less” era with a trade that sent Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami for Shaquille O’Neal.
Despite the retool, the Suns fell to the Spurs in the playoffs for the third time in four years. The next season, 2008-09, the Big Cactus was an All-Star, but Phoenix didn’t make the playoffs.
