Shaq as a GM?

Reports are surfacing that Shaquille O'Neal may be interested in the vacant Magic GM position. Some are speculating the Magic's ulterior motive is to potentially use Shaq to try and convince Dwight Howard to stay in Orlando.

The idea of Shaq as a GM just doesn't gel right. Watching him as an analyst on TNT, his input has been average to say the least. He appears to need a lot more time analyzing the game of basketball rather than simply going off his past knowledge as a player. Considering he has no prior management or operations experience, making the jump to GM seems hasty.

This move makes the Magic look laughable. You wouldn't risk jeopardizing your franchise just to keep one player. Look towards the future. Shaq could make some quick, horrible trades that he would regret. At this point, Shaq should just stick to the analyst booth.
