The Celtics and Shaquille O'Neal are 'close' to a deal.

Boston is looking to improve their frontline, particularly with the injury to Kendrick Perkins.

O'Neal was traded to the Cavaliers over the 2009 offseason. Looks like Shaq coming here is not happening. Who should the Nuggets go after now? There is still some good options for center. I wonder if the Celtics will part with big baby leave comments.
