Inside the conference room, the Phoenix Suns' management team was assembled.
Old Kolangelo had also come in person.
Last night's dinner meeting hadn't resulted in any real conclusions.
"Scott, what are your thoughts?" Seeing that no one was speaking, Old Kolangelo looked toward Skiles.
Management could handle the trade, but they also had to listen to the head coach's opinion.
After all, Skiles was the one who would ultimately lead the team in games.
Skiles glanced at Chen Yu, crossed his arms, and said, "To be honest, I was truly shocked when I first heard the news."
O'Neal for Nowitzki would be a league-shattering trade.
"As for how they'd fit in the lineup, I don't think it would be a major issue with either Shaq or Dirk."
Chen Yu agreed with him on this point.
In terms of playstyle, O'Neal was an unstoppable force in the paint, while Nowitzki's game was primarily based on his back-to-the-basket and face-up plays.
On defense, the two were more or less the same.
