If Celtics had Prime Shaq now, are we unstoppable?

 I know Shaq doesn't exist anymore,  but if we could bring back 25 year old Shaq and he played with this celtics team for 10 years. How many rings let's say over the next 6 years with Tatum and company.  3 rings? Four or more?

 With how we space the floor and all the shooting and defense we have and an absolutely unstoppable force inside,  I don't know how anyone could guard us.

 I think Brad should try his best to get a physically dominant inside scoring big, anyone like that in  the 2028 draft with the clippers pick?

Shaq does still exist. Just saw him on the tele the other day.

Whoever a prime Shaq played for, would be the best team in the league and winning titles.

Is Shaq being forced to shoot 3's? You want him to play with this squad after all  ;D

That's not true.  He's not winning with the Kings or Nets and a handful of other teams.

 No that's my whole point.  Give this team a real big man, Webber in his prime, Shaq, Duncan,  Hakeem,  Ewing, Mourning,  Amare, with all the three point shooting and we would be unguardable.

 Weak thread. Bringing awareness that it the Celtics simply had a dominant post presence,  that could pass out of a double team we would be world champions. 

 The IQ of this blog isn't what it used to be...

No need for prime Shaq, Duncan, or Hakeem. 2023-24 Al and KP (healthy) would put this team in the mix in 26-27.

That said, MR and Q will be interesting.

Not sure I get the point of this thread.  But what is true is that if Shaq had stayed healthy in 2020-11, the Celtics had a real chance at a title.  That is the year they traded Perk and right after, Shaq was done for the season, if I remember correctly (which is not always the case).
