Even though the Suns were eliminated in the first round, Suns' GM Steve Kerr has called the team's acquisition of Shaquille O'Neal from the Miami Heat a success, Jerry Brown of the East Valley Tribune is reporting.

?Shaq brought an awful lot to our team. He was terrific,? Kerr said.

?He played very well and added a totally different dimension. (Coach Mike D?Antoni) and I are on the same page in terms of Shaq, the impact he?s made and what he can make in the next couple of years.

?We struggled for the first couple of weeks, and then we really started to play well. I thought Mike did a good job of making that adjustment."
