Shaq Gives Tracy Advice <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Shaquille O'Neal has been there before. He has been Tracy McGrady, a frustrated Orlando Magic superstar pondering an escape. With the Magic again at catastrophe's welcome mat, it is only proper to ask the Big Fella to opine. "I talk to him all the time," said O'Neal, a close friend of McGrady who has become a sounding board in this stay-or-go dilemma. "I really can't tell you what we talk about, but I just tell him to take it easy and just sit back and see how things are going to go."</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">O'Neal has two more years left on his Lakers contract, but he can opt out after next season, too. He has declared he'd like to buy the Magic franchise once he retires. Teammate Horace Grant, another former Magic player, said O'Neal mentions Orlando often and keeps up with Magic happenings.</div> Full Story I don't know what to think. A part of me thinks Tracy is gonna stay and wait for Shaq in 2 years while the other half thinks T-Mac will leave and join Shaq once Kobe, Malone, and Payton are gone.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TimFlem:</div><div class="quote_post">^That's how I feel. Hopefully he will stay here in hopes that SOMEWAY the Magic will get Shaq.</div> That would be a Godsend, a C, the best one at that on a team that has lacked attitude, size, strength, rebounding and defense. He has it all, he could be what we need to turn the tide. Not forgetting but who would you get as a PG, those two positions are vital if this franchise is ever going to be put back on its feet again.
Shaq coming back to Orlando would be the best thing to happen to the Magic frachise ever since we drafted him. Even if he'd be the owner, I'd like to see Shaq around.
Maybe if Shaq would eventually leave LA and come back to the eastern conference or even with a likeable western conference team, I would maybe start liking him. I'm sorry and I refuse to like anyone on the Lakers staff or squad.
