Suns GM Steve Kerr joined Dave Burns on the Tuesday edition of the 620 Sportsline:

* Shaq-watch Day 2 as the Big Daddy participated in his second full practice with the Phoenix Suns.  It is sounding more and more likely that O’Neal’s first game will be Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks.  Kerr warned Suns fans, “I would think early on we’ll only see him play 15 minutes.”

* Kerr discussed the team adjusting to playing without Shawn Marion, “I’m proud of our guys for getting through that stretch.”  The Suns went 2-1 and the one loss was Phoenix’s most entertaining game of the season against the New Orleans Hornets.   

* On a lighter note, Sean Marks and Brian Skinner are terrified of guarding their new teammate and it’s not because he throws elbows.  When Shaq would dunk on the practice hoops, which were hooked into the ceiling and not the ground like normal hoops, the whole roof would shake.  Kerr said Marks and Skinner came to him scared that “we could die.”

* The last roster spot for the Suns is up for grabs.  Kerr has a list of 10 players that he is looking at.  Some of them are through trades and others are free agents.  All of them play the swingman position and have the ability to guard multiple positions.
