PEC 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2010 Who ever started this thread bite your tongue. Shaq can rot in hell as far as I am concerned when it comes to the Magic. Lucky for us he can't afford to take the vet's min he needs the money because of his fooling around. The divorce is killing him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~O~ 565 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 I would like to remind all those skeptics above to try to understand that, first and foremost, the NBA is a business. In addition, try to ignore all the petty rumors reported in the press designed to stir up controversy and generate fan interest. SVG and DH are professionals and would have absolutely no difficulty with Shaq on the Magic. And Shaq would have no hesitation at returning to his Orlando home for the last two years of an illustrious career and serving as a backup to DH. The reason why Shaq will return to the Magic is quite amply because it is in the best Business interest of both parties: Shaq benefits because he will earn more from the Magic than any other team because he will bring more added value to the Magic than he can bring to any other NBA team. He brings toughness and a no-nonsense attitude currently lacking on the roster, intimate personel knowledge of how Wade,Lebron, and Kobe and their coaches operate, championship experience, and will get after certain star players to push them to excel in a manner that SVG cannot. In addition, the Magic can afford to pay him more than any other team because these intangibles are more valuable to the Magic than simply his playing time at backup Center (which basically defines his value to any other NBA team.) From Shaq's viewpoint, he has a legitimate opportunity to get another two championship rings, a chance to return to his hometown, and a chance to erase bad feelings engendered in his leaving the Magic previously. From the Magic's viewpoint, they will be able to afford Shaq from the money they save when they trade Gortat, and they realize the team needs more than simply another CP type athlete to win the championship. From purely a strict Business sense, we therefore should expect Shaq to be on the Magic this season. So your telling me "dried up pond", "master of panic", and "Dwight isn't the superman" Shaq; Diesel; Shaquille O'Neal, will be respected and be a locker room presence and praised by players as well as fans that already dislike him for leaving them and bashing their team? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shock Phantom 263 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 I'd welcome Shaq back if he wouldn't cause on and off court problems. But he will, so this thread fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magic4Ever-more 4 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 I don't think the so called "Master of Panic" wants to coach the Big Doofus in this dried up Pond of ours......Shaq likes to burn bridges! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
