The end of Shaq period?

[Aidan]

I can't see Shaq ever fading into obscurity. He's had too much impact on the game. Even if he gets 25 mins a night, hes still gonna attract double teams, pull down some boards and yes, even some dunks. For example, can you imagine going to face Shaq, the most dominant player of our generation, who you have grown up adoring and learning from?



Also, I doubt the Heat will be able to trade him till the last year of his contract, as he has 20mil left on it. That said, they should be able to get a nice player(s) from a team who is looking for cap space, the year in which shaqs contract expires.
