Shaq is always making the rounds.

The NBA Legend appeared on The Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday. After remembering the great Bill Russell, Eisen asked Shaq for his thoughts about the Kevin Durant situation. O’Neal said that the Boston Celtics should not trade Jaylen Brown for Durant under any circumstances and then explained why Durant should want to stay in Brooklyn.

“When you put a house together you should live in it. You was the one who hired the architect. You was the one who got the other architect from Philadelphia, so, you as the leader should make it work. If you don’t want to make it work I guess you go buy another house so. I know he’s probably going to try to get to a contender. It’s easier that way.”

Shaq thinks Durant should stick it out and try to make it work in Brooklyn.

Of course Shaq did play on multiple teams across multiple cities so not sure his opinion means much, at least related to KD wanting out.
