Shaquille O'Neal boarded a plane destined for Phoenix on Wednesday morning to meet with officials from the Suns to complete the proposed Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks' trade.

Two of O'Neal's associates said that O'Neal is now prepared to finish his career with the Suns.

"Nothing has been completed. These things have backed up before," said Pat Riley.

"I have no reaction yet because I don't know the truth. Until that time comes -- this is the NBA, I'm not surprised at anything that happens or anything that's said," Dwyane Wade said.
