Now are you glad we didn't get Shaq?

What's the point of calling out a team that you no longer play for and has been blown up. Wow, what a revelation by Shaq that Cleveland was dysfunctional. Maybe it would have been constructive in the locker room. Putting it the newspaper when you're no longer on the team is just childish.

I'm sure that some of it was to show that he wasn't the problem. Many people believe that the addition of Shaq is what doomed the Cavs. Actually, they were doomed for many of the reasons he stated. LD gave a similar critique about last years Hawks. He didn't point fingers, but if you read between the lines, you see his finger pointing at Woody's inability to coach defense and use his bench.

People like that have an aura that kills team chemistry. His positives may not outweigh his negatives any more.
