Sign Shaq in the offseason?

[Witch-King]

Shaq has had a career-long 'knack' for signing with teams that are in prime position to make a deep run through the playoffs. He made good on his promise to win a ring with the Heat almost immediately after leaving the Lakers. Also, he may have won a'Ring for the King' as well if it wasn't for the Celtics, or specifically the Lakers begging for a re-match against us after losing in 2008. The Cavaliers have led the league in season wins for the past two years and still failed to make the Finals.

edit: sorry for the double post...

Plus, Shaq is the only other Big (Besides Perk) in the NBA right now that can manage Dwight.

Imagine Perk and Shaq in Green..I think our path through ORL next year becomes even easier.

While Shaq was in CLE, their games VS LA were won not because of what Lebron did, IMO - but due to the fact that it seemed as if Gasol and Bynum were terrified of Shaq.

I don't recall the box scores of the two LA - CLE games last year, but I definitely don't recall Gasol and Bynum being effective against Shaq, even in his advancing age.

If Shaq signed and Rasheed stayed (Perk) recovers during the off-season we would have the best front-court in the league hands down. Heck we almost won Game 7 with Kendrick on the sideline if it weren't for those ruthless refs. Leaving Hickson, Big Z & Side-show Bob for Garnett, Davis, Perkins and possibly Rasheed would definitely be an upgrade of O'Neal's situation.

Wow - I could not even imagine Sheed thrown into the mix here.....Shaq, Sheed, Perk, Glen, KG........I just don't see Sheed coming back, though.

And like a few posters have mentioned - how do we pay these folks?
