Shaq to be new Magic GM???

deadeye

The ESPN NBA Countdown crew was talking about it like it could really happen.

Hope they're right.

Not for the Magic's sake, but so that he won't be on Inside the NBA anymore.

Dude's horrible and messes up the flow of the show.

Former superstar players don't make good GM's so why would this be a good thing?

Larry Bird is a decent GM

I don't care about the Magic or whether or not Shaq would be a good GM...I just want him off TNT.

Joe Dumars, Larry Bird, Jerry West? You not seeing those guys as good GM's?

that would be a disaster waiting to happen

I'll reserve judgement as to Shaq being a GM. Haave to see the moves he makes in the position first. Who knows he might do well. But I wonder what D. Howard thinks about that, and how would that affect him as to re-signing with Orlando

Is this a good move?

O'Neal, who began his legendary NBA career in Orlando, may meet with the Magic as soon as next week, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard. While he has no front office experience, the Magic believe O'Neal's presence within the organization could help them retain Dwight Howard.

Damn. I think Shaq will take it. Things like this is always 50/50. He no how the league works. I think he would be a good judge on talent..but you never no.

I wouldn't be mad if this did happen. Shaq knows what it takes to win championships.

i remember Shaq saying he wanted to buy the Magics.....anyways if this is true i can see him accepting this since he live in Orlando

lets see how this goes

Any franchise even considering shaq to be anything else outside of a center or a mascot is in trouble

I don't know if Shaq is a good talent evaluator. but it would be interesting if he had to trade Dwight Howard.

Shaq would have a team of with 10 big men on it.

They all would have to average at least 28 and 15.

FroHawke

Will Shaq understand the financial/cap complexities though? The dude is horrible enough with his player and team analysis on TNT, how is he going to be when he has to judge talent for real?

Q45T

I guarantee Shaq would be a better GM than Jordan...

LOL @ The starting PG for the 2013 Magic being 6.9

Dwight lost.

Superman shows his REAL power.
