Sounds like Atlanta have offered Shaq a 2 year $11.7m deal.

Could be a good fit.

He'd help the Hawks match-up on Dwight during the playoffs. One benefit right there.

wont get a title with atlanta, still a few parts away from competing. With Horford at C shaq would only be a back up, I think his best option is Boston. With Perkins out for 6 months Shaq will help out straight away, be on a team with a real chance come June and will be respected by the core of veteran players.
ESPN have reported that both Boston & Atlanta are interested in Shaq too and Shaq has said he would consider re-signing with the Cavs if LeBron re-signs.
If the Hawks signed him he would start and Horford would move to PF.

This is sort of sad to see one of the greats just latch on to 4 different teams in the twilight of his career...kind of diminishes his legacy a little don't ya think?
Infact I cannot remember a legend hanging around for so long looking for his last ring like the Big fella has?? anyone??

A bit harsh Kriss, his last two teams acquired him in the hope he would be the "missing piece".
I can appreciate why it might appear he is chasing ring but the reality is contenders are chasing him more than teams who are rebuilding.

Mo Malone was a team hopper in the end, GP got one after changing teams 3 or 4 times..
Parish and Salley jumped on board with the Bulls in '96 I think..
Happens all the time Kriss. Agreed with Ads though, Phoenix and Cleveland actually chased him, not the other way around.
