One thing for sure, if the Lakers call Shaq's bluff and keep him without an extension, nobody will pay him 30 mil. a year after his contract expires. Shaq knows it. That's why he is so emphatic about extending his contract in the max NOW.
Yoyo, I couldn't disagree more! Shaq is too lazy to come into camp in shape. Because of that, he will be injured for about half of the year. He does not want another championship bad enough.
I think if Shaq gets traded, he will have a chip on his shoulder to play very hard this year. Even if Shaq comes in and plays like last year, he is still the best center in the league.
Shaq at 100% couldn't lead a team to a title without a 2nd star. Where could he go where he could have another star to ease the burdon, cause a team of Shaq and role players won't win a ring (Dream he is not).
