Cuban got Shaq to Suns?

Dan Le Batard, columnist for the Miami Herald, writes a pretty interesting piece about how a phone call from Mavs owner Mark Cuban to Heat owner Mickey Arison got the ball rolling on a Shaq trade...Cuban did the Heat a huge favor since the franchise was able to rid themselves of $40 million in Shaq salary over the next two seasons. But, did he do the Suns or Mavs a favor by helping to spark the trade that sent Shaq to the dessert?
