I think Dave Miller has it right when he said Shaq retired a few season ago, hes just announcing it now. That said, easily a first ballot HOFer, entertaining as hell. Hes going to be all over TV. Hes the next Charles Barkely, only we might actually understand what he has to say.

Never was a fan. He played like a bully and acted like one off the court. Refs gave him plenty of calls. He never could beat the Jazz (although that was mostly Kobe's fault) and was injury prone for LA up until the point MJ retired (convenient). Had he gotten to the NBA Finals and beat MJ his legacy would have been so much better.

I'll remember him not being able to handle Malone and Stockton and his Lakers teams not being good enough until the overall quality of the NBA went down after MJs retirement.

Wow, we all know he will go down as one of the best bigs ever. However for more than a decade there has been a consesus as to who the top 5 were, Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt the Stilt, Bill Russell & Moses Malone (U can pick your order although Kareem should be #1).

Does he push one of those guys out?

If he did it would be Hakeem... he doesn't touch the other four.

No way that Shaq is better than Russell, Kareem, or Hakeem (remember how bad Hakeem abused him in the NBA finals?). I'd say no on Wilt also (although I consider him massively overrated), and Moses. He's probably next on the list though. There weren't many as dominant as Shaq at his apex.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
