Multiple outlets are reporting that Shaquille O'Neal is heading to the Boston Celtics. According to A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast SportsNet, the Celtics are "close" to signing free agent center Shaquille O'Neal to a contract. Reports are also coming out that it will be for the veterans minimum of $1.4 million. This must be a move to contend with the bigs of the playoffs. But considering that Dwight Howard averaged 20 and 12 against Shaq, he's going to be 39 next year, can he really help them get out of the East? People love saying teams need bigs to protect the rim? LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe, and Carmelo do not care if you have Godzilla at the rim, they're going to go an go hard. Shaq is desperately chasing another ring without Kobe to help him get it. I do not see any way this could work for the C's. Known for their stiff and quick rotating defense, I find it hard to believe Shaq is going to be able to keep up with the C's schemes. I look at teams like Dallas, Milwaukee, and Houston as best fits for Shaq.
