He signed for full MLE. I don't think there was ever a way for him to come LA.

he will do less for them than Sheed did. this signing is completely irrelevant.

He ain't lying, that is him being healthy at this moment in time. Missing 15-20 games a season while playing like a guy who can't actually jump any more is realistically his physical condition right now.

We needed a PG far more than a big man
Celts needed a big man far more than a PF

Celtics make more sense for O'Neal than the Lakers did. In Boston, he has more of an opportunity to contribute. In LA, he would have had to compete for playing time with Odom, Gasol, and Bynum. In Boston, Garnett is willing to give up some minutes to make it to the playoffs, Perkins gets into foul trouble and has injurie issues, and Wallace is gone.
