Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1779731, member: 652"] If Orlando didn't offer Shaq the max the second negotiations started then they are idiots and I don't blame Shaq for leaving one iota. Who the hell would they give the max to if they wouldn't to a 25 year old in his prime Shaquille O'Neal coming off back to back 60 wins seasons. NBA front offices really were full of morons until this new analytical era. No wonder Red Auberach, Jerry West were good GMs they were going up against idiots. If Orlando really offered Shaq 4 yr 80 million then they are morons. Nowadays Shaw would have been a RFA that offseason he likely doesn't leave in this era until the following year if he didn't take Orlando's max offer. [/QUOTE]
