The inside story: How the Magic let the Lakers steal Shaquille O'Neal
July 1996 phone call to Orlando:
Caller: Say ya'll got a nice young center down there. Doing like 27-29 a night, 11-13 rebounds, 2-4 blocks. He's looking like he might be legit, future Hall of Famer. Wanna trade for him?
Orlando FO: Nah, we're good. You can just have him. He's not worth what he's asking.
