+3

what are they hoping to accomplish by bringing him back? do they really trust his abilities to evaluate talent? do they think he'll provide some kind of leadership and influence for Dwight?

why do the Magic insist on in house promotions, or bringing in former employees? is this some kind of Amway pyramid influence?

Never really thought of it this way... But it does explain the nepotism.

Sources: Shaq, Magic to discuss GM

A blast from the Orlando Magic's past has emerged in the team's search for a new general manager -- Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal will meet with the Magic next week to discuss the GM opening, multiple sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.

O'Neal, who is in his first season as an analyst for TNT, spent the first four seasons of his career as the Magic's center starting with the 1992-93 season. He led the league in scoring with 29.3 points per game with Orlando in 1994-95.

O'Neal isn't the only recognizable name on Orlando's radar.

Wow. Solely giving this guy an interview would forever tarnish the credibility or what's left of our franchise. This is the **** Dwight's talking about. These clowns don't know how to run a basketball team. It's a disgrace and a joke. This front office is really testing my fanhood here. I'm not sure how much more I can take of this :nonono:

I wish our ownership would have an ounce of basketball knowledge, instead of fooling around with Shaq, they should be contacting people with experience.

We definitely need new ownership, if they are going to interview our first superstar player that left a Championship contending team to go to LA.

We're seriously going to interview this guy.

I'm telling you guys, the writing has been on the walls with this ownership... If this actually happens, we should riot. This is not what this team right now.

What about Walsh with Shaq as understudy? Or Walsh training Foyle and Shaq as new Dir of Player Development?

Unfortunately it's nothing you or any of us can do about it! We're just fans and pretty soon they are gonna lose the fan base unless they get serious...now with that said, I would enjoy a Shaq as assistant GM under a Donnie Walsh! #thatmakesmoresense 8-)
