The Big Leprechaun is in Beantown! Yes, finally, the Celtics signed Shaq to a two-year deal. Personally, I like the move. I'am a big Shaq fan and admit it, after Michael Jordan, there isn't a player more charismatic than Shaq.
2004 WC Finals against each other. 2011 NBA Finals together.
Great move for the C's since Perkins will come back by Feb 2011. Shaq, as well as Jermaine, can play the center position alternately depending who they are playing. Yes, Shaq's abilities are waning and he is in the twilight of his career but he can still play better that 70% of the other starting centers from opposing teams. His rebounding and inside defense will be a big plus as well.
The only issue is the spacing since Shaq will occupy a lot of space inside making it harder for Pierce, Allen and especially Rondo to operate. And his pick-and-roll defense would hurt the Celtics especially against Orlando who does this play better than any team.
Aging Celtics? Think again! Better not be surprised for the 18th banner.
