Shaquille O'Neal says the Magic should not pull the trigger on trading Dwight Howard.

"I’m keeping my eye on the Orlando situation," O’Neal said. “I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice. They just built an arena, $550 million. It’s talks of trading him or keeping him, but I think they should keep him."

O'Neal said the Magic should have sought more input from Howard before making personnel moves.

“One, they should show (Howard) a little bit more respect. And two, they should really get another dominant player in there," O'Neal said.

“If you look at the history of the league, most [successful] teams have had a definite 1-2 punch. Right now in Orlando you only have a 1 punch, so . . ."
