Shaq Would Consider Signing With Nets

Shaquille O'Neal will be a free agent this summer and has already proclaimed that he plans to continue his career.

O'Neal, a Newark native, told the New York Post that he would certainly consider signing with the Nets.

He praised the new Prudential Center and said he would rather the team not move to Brooklyn in 2013.

"I think it's better than most arenas, I think it's one of the best arenas in the country," O'Neal said. "Hopefully they can stay there forever. I don't know what's going on with the Brooklyn situation, but it says a lot for the city of Newark."

It's considered doubtful that the Cavaliers will re-sign O'Neal.
