    Apparently, according to him, he did.

    Who knows what is actually true ... in some ways you have to wonder if they were willing to part with Joel and then let Shaq kind of act like the transition piece for the next couple of years, but more importantly have his massive 20 million dollar expiring contract for 2010 when the better free agent class was going to be available.

    Hope we win the ring next year, beating the Cavs in the finals.

    I doubt the Blazers had serious interest in Shaq, but it really wouldn't surprise me if KP placed a phone call. Why not? It never hurts to ask. Besides, who knows where that conversation could lead. On top of that, you're building rapport with a fellow GM and you're getting a free appraisal of your team. I'm sure KP strolls down every open avenue, whether he thinks it's going to lead anywhere or not.

    I saw him once on a school field trip back in the early 90's

    No way that would've worked. Shaq, Greg and Joel? No thanks.

    Shaq for Raef?

    No. Doesn't work anyway.

    Maybe the Blazers were looking at:

    Shaq for Pryz & Raef. Or:

    Shaq/Nash for Pryz & Raef & Bayless & Blake

    Late 70's I was a smile winner on his show. Won a case of pop from the PopShoppe!
