I was talking with someone about the Magic and they said that with the way the Magic are built and play the game, Shaq would fit in really well as Howards backup.
With Shaq, the Magic could continue their inside-out offensive attack even when Howard goes to the behch. They can throw the ball into Shaq the same they do with Howard and surround him with shooters. The Magic could keep one steady, effective offensive approach for a whole 48 minutes. Whereas in Phoenix and Cleveland they run their offense primarily through players like Nash and Lebron, the Magic or Shaq wouldn't have to change their style of play to adjust to one another because they both already compliment one another. He could be for the Magic what Mourning was to the Heat in their championship run.
Now some of the problems would be if Shaq would accept being a backup to Dwight and also what it would take to get him. The Cavs would probably want Lewis because he would also fit their team well with 4 guys spreading the floor for James. So the Cavs would get better as well.
Would you go for Shaq if the opportunity presented itself this season? Or would you try for Shaq in the off-season for next year? Or do you think Shaq wouldn't be a good fit in Orlando?
