"Veteran free agent center Shaquille O'Neal - the future Hall of Famer without a team -- has been lobbying the Boston Celtics aggressively, still trying to convince them that his addition would help their quest to win another NBA championship.
He still wants to be The Big Leprechaun.
Although O'Neal was unavailable for comment Friday, two sources close to him confirmed his continued interest in the Celtics even though they currently have no room, or exceptions, under the salary cap to pay him beyond the NBA veteran's minimum of $1.35 million.
"He only wants to go to a team with a chance to win it all,'' one source said. "That's a short list. Even for the money, he's not going to a non-contender.''" fanhouse
I don't mind getting Shaq and I've loved the idea since it was rumored earlier in the offseason. I think if anyone would embrace this team it would be him. He knows this is REALLY his last chance to get a ring, and with KG, Ray, Paul, Jermaine, and Shaq that would be awesome. I think he still has some game in him and hell, I really don't think Shaq would hurt the Celtics. We need big man help and with Him, KG, Jermaine, Baby and eventually Perk I think we'll be set.
