The Big Leprechaun?

I hope its this because I already reserved this name as an Orc Warrior on World of Warcraft(Bladefist). I had a "DaShaqtus" b/c Shaqtus was already taken :(
Can't stop, Rondo!

Howabout Shaqllelagh,

 refers to a short, gnarled, very hard club usually made from the roots of a large tree.

Personally, I would still call him Shaq.

Same here... We all will just like we call Big Baby Big Baby...lol

Yep. That's what it boils down to.  He'll be called Shaq when it's all said and done.

it's New England, we'd naturally have to call him the "Clam Shaq"

Some hilarious names, LOL.

Love

1. The Clam Shaq
2. The long name you can't fit on his Jersey, whatever you said, 17wasEZ...just about fell off my chair on this one...
3. Shaq O'lantern
4. Shaqalegle
5. Mercenary

See, we're already having fun with the Big Fella.

Serioulsy though, I'd at least give this a long look. The main reason I'd perosnally consider bringing him in? Maybe in a situation like Sheed for Shaq and Moon?

I'd really like to have Shaq play the role of Mercenary for us. Come in for 10-15 minutes and absolutely hammer Howard if he starts throwing around those elbows. Whack LeBron, Wade and Kobe when they come down the lane. Same for Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.um and Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.hole.

Be the guy who lays out some real clean but very hard fouls, make people think twice about coming down the lane.

if Shaq played that role for us he would be of great use in another title run.

Outside of being weilling to play that role I don't see much benefit.

And who knows, LeBron was a jerk off. Maybe with KG, Ray, Pierce, Perk, Rondo, etc. Shaq might get dialed in, especially if he knows another ring is to be had.

How motivated might he be to prevent Kobe from getting another ring, etc...

Shaq, Perkins, KG, Jermaine, Big Baby, Gody and Pierce? That's a brusing front line.

If he'll agree to come off the bench and join legendary Celtics of the past who sacrificed a starting job for the better of a championship squad, then maybe
