    Dwight Howard still believes Shaquille O'Neal can be a fit for an NBA team as the legendary center approaches the end of his career.

    "He's still a big body. He's different than he was back in the day but he's still big. He can be a great fit for a team to help them win," Howard said of O'Neal

    "I think his presence in the locker room will be needed more than anything at this point in his career. If he would embrace whatever team he's on, he has a lot of knowledge and he could help a team grow."

    Howard was also asked by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution whether he felt O'Neal was a good fit for the Hawks.

    "I don't know," he said. "I like their lineup now. I know a lot of people get mad and say they're not big on the inside, but they're a big team. They've got big guards. They've got big forwards. They've got a flying forward [Josh Smith]. So it doesn't really matter about having a seven-footer."

    Shaq should go to Orlando, but not to backup Howard to start with him.

    Nelson/Carter/Lewis/Howard/Shaq

    That's a pretty sick lineup. They would be the favorites in the East imo. Sure Shaq isn't an all star anymore, but he can still give you anywhere from 12 to 15 points a game, and 7 to 10 rebounds a game.
