I would never do it. Shaq just isn't a good return on investment
(all the guys we'd be trading him at this point). his injuries make
him too much of a question mark. he can't carry a team with the
number of minutes he'd be averaging, he needs his supporting cast to
carry him, and wouldn't be good for a large number of minutes per
game. he'll retire WAY before a guy like Karl Malone ever did.
