    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">McGrady, who won his second straight scoring title this season, may be waiting to see how the O'Neal-Bryant saga plays out, as well as how Grant Hill's recovery goes. After four ankle operations, Hill is working hard to return next season. But if he is unable to play, his maximum-level salary will come off the Magic's payroll after next season, an Orlando official said.

    Without the contracts of Hill, Drew Gooden and Andrew DeClercq, who will be free agents after next season, the Magic would have enough room beneath the salary cap to offer O'Neal a sizable free-agent contract, perhaps paving the way for him and McGrady to link up. Though he left Orlando as a free agent in 1996, O'Neal remains fond of the area, where he owns a home. And in McGrady, O'Neal would have a teammate with the ability of Bryant but who would probably happily defer to him.</div>

    Very interesting article.

    I will agree with one part: "That's too good to be true," one team official said.

    Man that would be crazy Shaq back in Orlando,I think that Shaq and T-Mac would make a good duo its almost the same as Kobe and Shaq but I think they would click better because Shaq and T-Mac are good friends off the court.

    Sweet. It would be so awesome to see Shaq in a Magic uni once again, I loved him when he first played in Orlando, he was like one of the best big men that played for the Magic. I really hope this goes down, then I will definately become a Magic fan again.
