Orlando Will Interview Shaq For GM

[Pugz]

Shaquille O'Neal will interview with the Magic for their general manager vacancy, according to a source.

O'Neal was drafted by the Magic in 1992.

O'Neal retired following the 10-11 season.

The Magic believe the presence of O'Neal within the front office would help their chances of retaining Howard. Sources close to O'Neal and Howard contend they have a friendly relationship. O'Neal has been a confidante to Howard throughout the season as he has dealt with an uncertain future with the franchise.

orlando is nice and the team has a winning tradition. playing for shaq would be a huge plus.

This is an awful idea, he has no experience whatsoever. Shaq has a great personality and everything, but this was the same guy who said Lenny Wilkens knew a lot about basketball and asked if he played the game himself.

and this is all just to try and keep Howard? Wow. I hope they hire him and he trades Howard.

I feel like bringing in Shaq to GM would make Howard want to stay in Miami.

 

[Pugz]

Shaquille O'Neal released a statement saying he has no interest in the general manager vacancy with the Magic.

O'Neal has worked with TNT during his first year post-retirement.

“When I first heard about the vacancy for the Orlando Magic general manager position, I was clearly intrigued.” he said in a statement. “I was drafted by the Magic, I have a great love for the franchise, and I have made the city of Orlando my home. Additionally, I have great admiration and respect for the DeVos family. However, this is not a job I have an interest in pursuing. I feel very fortunate to be with TNT and to have the best job in sports. I look forward to many more years with Charles, Kenny and E.J. I wish the best for the Magic and I am confident that they will select a great GM and coach.”

Orlando is the opposite of a nice city. You couldn't pay me to live in Orlando.
