The Official Bring Shaq to Boston Thread

[ACF]

Shaq may never come to Boston, but at least this thread is "official". I say thank god some Celticsblog administrator decided to officially designate this thread as the 'offical bring shaq to boston thread'.

Where would we be without prudent officialism in our threads? I will tell you.

Dogs and cats, living together, Mass hysteria!

I suggested in previous posts that I thought about Allen being swapped for O'Neal and i stopped wondering about that a month ago or so...until I've seen this thread. I would love to have Shaq in green. Sort of like...Shaq sees Kobe gets a ring without him and now he helps KG and co to claim revenge over the Lakers...wouldn't that be nice? Shaq celebrating our 18th title on the Staples??

How about this? Only scenario I would trade Ray Allen for Shaq.

thats why its the ONLY way I would trade Ray. lol. Plus alot of those players Phoenix is getting are Expirings, so they DONT have to hold onto those players. Maybe they can flip them for Chris Bosh?

I don't want anything to do with Shaq. He's not very ubuntu imo.    I feel that Miami is better off without him and that the Suns are worse off with him. I also feel that the Suns will be better off when they get rid of him. Some team that doesn't have a beast like Perk should go for him.

[cornbreadsmart]

if shaq came to boston it would be all about him. not about the celtics. shaq vs kobe shaq vs kobe. ugggh. shaq needs to be a laker . he's already kissing kobe's arse.always a laker to me. the threepeat. how quicky people forget the threepeat.i would love to beat shaq and kobe on the lakers. could you imagine the drooling hype from the media! then beating them? what a dream.
