You have to look at which player is going to have the largest impact on your entire organization. When I start weighing on all the factors in this situation I myself if I was a GM would take Jordan.

Jordan has heart and demands the best from everyone else on the team, Shaq is all about himself and his ego, if the team is losing he's not going to bust his ass to win. He'll be pissed that he's on a shit team. Jordan early in his career with Doug Collins got the Bulls into the playoffs.

Jordan also puts asses in the seats, when they are at home always a sell out, when they are on the road always a sell out. This also has a huge impact on the team, and is good for a GM. It would bring more media attention to the team as well, which is good. You're the shit team that just fucking got Jordan, the best to ever play.

I understand the point Cori is making, but when you say it's a terrible team with no real good players, you need to think who is going to make an impact, who is going to really give your team the best chance at winning, someone who can take over and just tell everyone else where to go.

I know a good center means a lot to a team, and when you want to create a team to build towards winning a championship of course you want a top center to build around, but Cori said someone who will come in and help the team win now, and get them into the playoffs, just one season. Jordan has the tools to do this, he can take over and just win. Shaq needs someone to get him the ball, Shaq needs the help with an awesome point guard, or small forward. Jordan is like having a high school super star, give him the ball, and get open just in case.

This is something that could go both ways, but I think if it's one season, and you want to win NOW, put asses in the seats and etc. hands down you go Jordan.
Although I would take Shaq, you obviously understood my post...it is a closer call than most realize.

Good post and logic.
