Celtics Interested In Shaq?

ESPN Boston is reporting this morning that the Boston Celtics are one of three teams that have spoken to free agent future Hall of Fame Center Shaquille O'Neal about a contract. All talks are said to be in the preliminary stage at the moment but there is apparently mutual interest. Dallas and Atlanta are also apparently in the running for O'Neal, who averaged 12 points and 6.7 rebounds a game for Cleveland last season in 53 games.
