If you had a choice: Brad Miller or ShaQ

[youcanthandlethetruth113]

Putting these two in a same sentence is blasphemous. However, One of these guys could help the Celtics next season.

Would you rather:

Shaq/KG
Miller/KG

Even at Shaq's age he's still one of the best true C's in the league.

[Prof. Clutch]

I'd go with Shaq if I have to go with one...but I hope the celts go for Brandon Haywood rather than either of these two.  He's the best free agent center out there in my opinion (as long as you don't count Bosh as a center.)

[LooseCannon]

Brad Miller.  He's more durable and more able to help hold down KG's regular minutes in the hopes of keeping Garnett fresher for the playoffs.  When Perkins comes back, Miller is guy who you can play at the end of the fourth quarter when Perk's offense and free-throw shooting are liabilities that outweigh his defensive contributions.

Bosh has said he won't play C for his new team; he's committed to being a PF.

That said, I think that Haywood may necessarily need to be a target for any team going after Bosh who doesn't already have a C (e.g., Miami or New York).

Shaq ... I think the right fit could pull a lot more gam out of the guy, (more than what most people think he has left), and I think the Celts would be a greatfit ... at the obvious fewer minutes and smaller paycheck.

I would LOVE both, but if I had to pick one, it be Shaq. I want to sign him and see him eat Gasol alive when we play the Fakers in the finals again next year.

[GreenFaith1819]

I like both, but I'd go with Shaq by a nose. He gives us our best shot against any Center out there, Dwight included. No other Center (Besides our Perk, and maybe Yao) does that.

shaq

Shaq, of course. In close games or in end games, Shaq is highly reliable. His toughness and experience (at times, a go-to-guy) in big crucial games are his selling points over Brad who would rather settle for his medium range jumpshots to complete a play.

[Cman]

They really bring different things to the table, so in the ideal world... both.  Play whomever depending on the matchup.

However, given that the Cs are to be without Perk for probably half the season, it's important to get someone who has a game similar to his.  I think Shaq fits that better than Brad. 

The question, though, is what happens when Perk comes back?  I think Shaq, at this point in his career, is enough of a professional to realize that he will be coming off the bench.

Shaq would be better because of the matchup problem he always creates and the guarantee to get other bigs in foul trouble. He definitely would help kg get some jump shooting spot. Plus the chance to have 4 guaranteed hall of famers running around if pretty cool.

I have no interest in Shaq at all.  Miller possibly, what about Tyson Chandler?

[zerophase]

I'm a Shaq guy. I'm not sure how much he has in the tank but he's a fun guy I have always wanted to see in green. Let's not forget that only two years ago in Phoenix he averaged Allstar numbers:

08-09 PHX 75 games 30.0 mpg 17.8 ppg 8.4 rpg

and you gotta love this guy's press conferences...

If Shaq will sign for the minimum then this is a no brainer. His media quotes alone are priceless. If we can sign him for cheap then Mike Miller at the midlevel would look pretty good.
It would be a bit of a concern with Shaq and Baby coming of the bench. Not very athletic on the front line. If we have to pay a big chunk of the mid level then I would pass.
