Not big news I suppose, but looks like The Big Aristotle will be in the West for a while. Check the dollar amount: http://espn.go.com/nba/news/2000/1013/815555.html ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

How can they sign him to a 3 year $88 million contract??? ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
I guess "the big Aristotle" refers to the size of Shaq's wallet, not his body. ------------------ 2000-2001 Rockets Game Formulas: End of 1st quarter: "They're playing so well!" 2nd: "What a great game!" 3rd: "Theres no way they can lose now!" 4th: "What the ******* **** happened?!!" Vote Gore to keep our planet green!
I thought the most a player could receive with Shaq's tenure was around $13 million a season. ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.

I think it is 13 mil or a percent of his old contract being that his old contract had ridiculous money . The new one can likewise have ridiculously more money Rocket River ------------------
Who cares about the money anyway!!! We are stuck with Shaq in the WEST for 7 more years. UGH. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
He's so big, I have a feeling his mobility and athleticism will deteriorate in the next 4-5 years. ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.
