Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reports Shaquille O’Neal has shifted from ring-chasing mode to strictly paper stacking. O’Neal recently tested the European market in hopes of landing a $10 million contract in one last cash grab. Windhorst adds that Cleveland could sign Shaq to a contract in the $5 million to $7 million range and hold him until a contender gets desperate.
If he wants his best shot at a title then O’Neal should try to sign with Boston. If he’s looking for the most money possible he should take the deal with Cleveland. It might take awhile but like Terrell Owens in the NFL, a team or two will come callling for Shaq’s services.
