"I talk to him all the time," Shaquille O'Neal said about Tracy McGrady. "I really can't tell you what we talk about, but I just tell him to take it easy and just sit back and see how things are going to go."

O?Neal defended his close friend and respected his privacy by not revealing any of the superstar?s thoughts on remaining in or leaving Orlando.
 
"I always tell him, from experience, just to sit back and relax," O'Neal said. "Whatever happens, happens."

Shaq?s interest in the situation may be more than just helping out a friend.  The Sentinel says that reports are true that O'Neal, who returns to his Orlando-area home every summer, thinks about a return to Orlando some day.
