Trade two centers for Shaq. You think the Lakers would take it? Damp and Foyle + 1rst round for Shaq? I don't even know if this is even possible. Zhone? Walk? Anybody?
Well, Foyle can't be included in any trades until Dec. 15 since he was a FA who signed. (Remember, we had Mark Jackson grumbling on our bench until he could be traded a while back? It was because we had to wait.) Money wise it doesn't match up either. Shaq is 30 million - which is like 2 other max contract players. The highest paid player we have is NVE. Taking the most expensive players, it'd be like NVE (12 mil), Damp (10+ mil), Robinson (5 mil) and any other player to make it. Even if we included the most valuable of those (Dunleavy or Richardson, probably) I doubt the Lakers would bite.

Plus, if that was the case, how do you do sign and trade deals in the first place?

In a sign-and-trade, the player traded must be get a minimum of 3 years, not be just ending his rookie contract, not be under an exception, and must sign that he agrees the contract with that other team. It's a special exception to the rule that no FA can be traded. Sorry it wasn't clear, I just didn't want to confuse it too much in the first place.
