    Shaquille O'Neal and Benji Wallace should've stayed.
    Would you imagine Ben and Shaq together right now? IMO they would win a championship right now with the current Orlando roster.

    If shaq had stayed most likely tmac would never have become a orlando magic. Do to the fact he signed with the team to be the leader that guy with the other guy. Not the other guy with the guy. Meaning he didnt want to play second fidle to anyone he wanted a guy to play second fidel to him. So if shaq was here tmac would have not signed with the magic.

    I'm not sure that's true figuring that TMac was coming to the Magic with Grant Hill (on just about the same contracts). If I'm not mistaken I believe Grant's signing was announced before TMac's, and TMac was really the big question mark at first. Once the Magic realized the extent of Hill's injury (and his inability to heal properly), TMac took the call and became what we know of him today. He may have gotten selfish in time, but I feel that he was just absolutely amazing when there was no other real 'go to' guy.

    Danny Schayes and Greg Kite did what they were supposed to with the Magic, perform well as backups. Both were hard-working guys who got away with mostly effort, rather than athleticism. Geert Hammick on the other hand, was nothing more than a waste of a draft pick. If I remember correctly, the Magic shipped him off to Europe and he wasn't really seen again.

    Greg Kite... One of his family members went to my elementary school...
    Hahaha... I was in 2nd grade and I thought it was so cool to see a real live basketball player, especially in my school lunch room!
