Shaq is merely trying to put himself in a situation in which he can win as many rings as possible so that he can be seen as the best big man ever.
He knows that as long as he can still contribute (he can), that he needs rings to cement himself as one of the top three bigs ever.
I can almost guarantee that he merely wants to contribute in any capacity while winning as many rings as possible. In his mind he'd probably like to retire with at least six ... that would put him right up there with some of the greatest who have ever played.
Unfortunately, with Odom on the roster, we just don't need him in the rotation. We could use him as a fourth big, but he won't be in the rotation, playing every game ... I don't think he would go for having DNP-CDs ... he wants to contribute, even if it means playing 15 minutes a game.
15 minutes will not be there if and when we resign Odom.
Love you Shaq but your best bet might have to be Orlando ... gonna have to really swallow your pride to play for Stan Van and backup D12, two guys you have already clowned publicly.
The moral of the story ... DON"T BURN BRIDGES.
