Shaquille O'Neal has signed a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum with the Celtics.
In the wake of the injury to Kendrick Perkins, the Celtics signed rookie center Semih Erden and later, veteran big man Jermaine O'Neal.
We are not the old guys on the block anynore.

Plus he was demanding higher pay and more playing time. They have Perkins, Jermaine O'Neal and now him. Doesn't make any sense
If Wallace comes back, despite them being old, they have a load of size on that team.
NBA forum
It's Spurs Forum because he was very close to signing with the Spurs so why don't you stick to the NBA FORUM
Thank god. No more Shaq threads.
that settles it. the heat will take the east now.
He will sign with the Spurs in 2011 !!!!!!!
lol
Looks like it with that big man front line
Good, now you idiots can stop posting that Shaq is coming to the Spurs. We never wanted him to begin with. He isn't good anyway.
I don't care that it's on this forum, but by what measure was he "very close" to coming here?
No he wasn't and this has nothing to do with the Spurs. I think most agree that we've had enough with the Shaq threads. He has never coming to the Spurs.
I guess you don't read much more than outside of this forum. He had cut it down to the Hawks and the Spurs but he wanted more than the $2.6 million left on our mid-level and more playing time.
So instead he goes to the Celts, where he'll have virtually no PT and signed for the vet minimum. Right.
My Fault just hush up man you got no business on this thread and BigFundamental I could give a rats ass what you think.
Wallace is retiring. He's already announced that.
They are old, but Shaq is a decent back up center and the Celtics need some depth at that position with Perk's injury and Jermaine O'Neal being so prone to injury himself and KG's knees...
This maybe a shocker but everything you read on the internet is not true. Spurs signed Tiago, Shaq is not needed. Plus he would be a very bad fit.
The bad fit thing i don't agree with because the Spurs are a half court team and to have a big man beat up and wear down thier big men would have been huge. Shaq wouldn't have to run on this squad just rebound, clog the lane and beat players up.
I'd say the rumor was big enough that this thread deserves to be here... otherwise why not have moved all the "Shaq to Spurs" rumor threads before.
Anyway the good news is: Shaq isn't coming to the Spurs.
We knew it already, but it's good to have a confirmation.
On offense he would clog up the lane for the slashers and on D the Spurs would be PnRed to death. Spurs are good with the big rotation they have now. If any big is added it should be a stretch 4 IMO
My guess: no team was offering him ANY contract whatsoever. He tried to push the "I still make the rules" line, but now we know it wasn't the case at all.
Well said.....
Shaq's so fat he can warm two bench places with one cheap contract.
