no.

[rayray2k8]

looks like that shirt is too small for him so no

[scottspurs]

He wants too much money and the spurs already have 5 bigs which is plenty enough. Let him jump on somebody else's bandwagon.

[jaffies]

Is he wearing Speedy Claxton's jersey?

[smrattler]

Not happening. Hethinks he deserves MLE at least and that would be a sacrifice in his mind. Of all people that would play for pennies, you would think it would include a guy that's made as much money as him. Seriously, to him, is 5 million that much different than 2 million? Especially if whatever team gets him probably won't play him much until Feb? Come on.

[ElNono]

not for the money he wants.

[EricB]

If he said he would take the minimum the Spurs would say sure.


Some stupid team will give him the MLE.

[ohmwrecker]

Has this not been discussed ad nauseum?

Shaq thread!

[ducks]

no link thread

[Parker2112]

For the minimum I can't see why not. Just for the fact it would be hilarious to have shaq on the team I would be excited. I doubt he plays 50 plus games where ever he goes.

[Big P]

He's got to be going to miami..play in SA for the min or play in mia for the min?.. ..I wonder which one shaq will choose.

[spursfan1000]

It COULD happen, but it wont.

Didn't he burn his bridges there when he went to PHO?

[JustinJDW]

Vets Minimum. Nothing more.

[Dro210]

I keep hearing that Shaq wants the MLE, but I can't see a contender giving him the MLE.... Shaq doesn't need money at all, and it would be absolutely pointless for him to play for any team that doesn't have a shot at a ring.... I think he takes what he can get from the best team he gets an offer from.

and yea, I'd love to have him here.... too bad Matty "Aww Shucks" Bonner just took his spot. Even if the Spurs wanted another big, it's not about the money, but the principle: No way does Shaq come to a team where he would be paid half of what that fuckin scrub makes. I don't blame him.

Shaq thread!

Its just so sad to see a once dominate player grovel for a contract. Lol He is just sooo lazy now, his name means nothing anymore.

[arodz]

According to Steven A. Smith, Shaq will sign for nothing less than what Ray Allen signed for, which is roughly 8 mil. NOT happening.

S.A.S. is an idiot...Shaq already said he'd sign for the MLE with the Spurs...and Ray Allen's deal is 2 years 20 mil...of course, we can't offer the MLE, so he probably won't come here, unless he has a change of heart because he really wants to play next to Timmy.

Dice is trash?


Facepalm.

[DesignatedT]

Did you watch any spurs games last year? 5.8ppg 5.9 rpg, D was up and down and like it our not hes not the dice of 5 years ago, he cannot defend true bigs.

Dice played some of the best D on Dirk that I have seen any player in a spurs uniform play. He hit big shot after big shot in the playoffs. Dice was fantastic in the playoffs.

He does coast through the regular season like Horry used to do though.

[mudyez]

hope he ends up with the golden state warriors!

nelly would make him the first ever "point center"!

great times!

[Bruno]

Even without Shaq, Spurs are really deep at PF/C and they are still deep enough to give some rest to Duncan and Dice during the regular season.

If Spurs don't do a trade including Dice and/or Blair, Shaq won't be a Spur.

[rayray2k8]

another fuckign shaq thread??

[Seventyniner]

The Cavs could sign-and-trade Shaq to the Spurs, allowing Shaq to get MLE money without using the actual MLE. However, it's the same problem of the Spurs not being willing to give up anything the Cavs want (and no, the Spurs wouldn't sign-and-trade RJ for Shaq; the Spurs need RJ far more than Shaq right now given equal prices).

[rjv]

Deep uuuuummmm maybe, but still small Dice is 6-8 maybe and Blair 6-6,6-7 Plus Splitter is rail thin so hes not gonna be a lane clogger like Shaq would. If not shaq I think we should bring Ian back......We need a shot blocker next to TD.

shaq has never been a great shot blocker and is even less so now but his girth is still something that players have to deal with.
