Shaq and Orlando?

by derekk on May 21, 2009 4:06 AM EDT

Ok, so Shaq called SVG a Master of Panic earlier in the regular season after flopping on Dwight and being jokingly chastized by SVG for it. But on his Twitter Shaq has predicted the Magic would win by 30 against the Celtics in Game 7 (Which ended up pretty close to his pred.), wrote something along the lines " I told you", and now after Magic's Game 1 win on the Cavs, Shaq twittered "Ok orlando I c u." Is he softening up his stance on SVG and Dwight (who Shaq doesnt have much respect for yet)? Or is he simply observing his very first former NBA city and team? Or is this Shaq's way of trying to get signed up by the Magic, and later become an owner/GM of Magic like he stated he would like to do a few months ago? :P

He's always flirted with coming back to Orlando in some capacity for years

Remember a few years back, he used to say that when he retired he wanted to buy the Magic from the Devos family and make Grant Hill the GM?

I remember, but it'll never happen.

The city of Orlando would flip out.

No thanks

If you’re talking about as a player, no way he’s going to sit behind Dwight or get along with Stan.

As an owner? Will probably just bring unwanted bad press to Orlando ala Cuban. I like being under the radar ;)

Saw him at a strip club in Orlando during the offseason last year.

He still loves this city. He only went to LA to be a movie/rap star, but he always comes back to the O.

I can see him being a minority owner

but I can’t see DeVos selling the whole team to him. Shaq doesn’t have that kind of cash.

I couldn't see DeVos selling anything to Shaq, period.

Shaq/GrantHill

I dont see him being anything more than a minor owner too, but if he was, wouldnt that make it possible to spend in the luxury a little for the Magic?
