Could Karl Malone be reunited with Shaquille O'Neal?

According to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the agent for Malone said the Mailman has listed the Miami Heat as one of the teams he would consider playing for.

Malone, the NBA's second-leading scorer all-time behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, had indicated that he wouldn't return for a 19th season if his surgically repaired right knee wasn't sound. Retirement is one option the future Hall of Famer has seriously considered. Now, playing alongside O'Neal again appears to be another.

Dwight Manley, Malone's agent, indicated that he had talked to the Heat about his client possibly joining the team.

Malone's brief tenure with the Lakers appears over. The Lakers signed center Vlade Divac from Sacramento on Monday, and acquired three forwards (Caron Butler, Lamar Odom and Brian Grant) in the trade with the Heat involving O'Neal.

Malone scored well below his career averages in an injury-plagued 2003-04 season. Malone, who has averaged 25.0 points per game in his 18-year career, averaged a career-low 13.2 points last year.

Robert Horry, a veteran of five NBA championship teams (including three with O'Neal and the Lakers), is also considering a move to Miami.

Bryon Russell is expected to sign with Miami as well.

Heh, seems like NOBODY wants to play with Kobe as the leader of the Lakers.

Mark my words now before the NBA season starts, if they get Karl Malone they will be jinxed and the Heat will not be the champions next year!
