In the summer of Lebron, you haven’t heard much about the free agent movements of one Shaquille O’Neal.
There was some whispers about the Mavericks and a report that a deal was on the table with Hawks that had all the ATL strippers reading my site, but as of right now Shaq Diesel is still a free agent.
While roaming around the internet this morning I came across this nugget from Cleveland.com about Shaq actually considering a trip to Europe to play. Here are the details:
Sources have indicated Shaq has tested the market in Europe trying to land one last $10 million payday. But all of that is unlikely. Indeed, the Cavs may consider re-signing Shaq to a short deal that would pay him $5 million-$7 million and wait for a contender to get desperate to match up with the Lakers or Magic.
Personally I think Shaq should play with Marbury over in China, the Ustreams would be of epic proportions.
Realistically I don’t think it would be a good idea for the Cavs to resign him even though I know they are trying to keep as much star power on the team as possible (not like Mo Williams can sell tickets).
My sources (Stephen A. would be pleased) say that Dallas and LA would be Shaq’s preferred destination, but there has been little to no interest from the Mavs or Lakers.
Of course he could always sign with The South Beach NWO for some donuts, a Rick Ross CD and a stripper King of Diamonds, but I digress.
