"We should emulate the Suns with Shaq" - ?

A fan from which team said this?
Clearly it must be a team with an all time dominant low post player. Most likely Orlando or Houston.

Upon further examination it's actually a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks.

The poster further explains "We could run an up tempo offense and still utilize Bogut like the Suns plan on using Shaq. Get out in transition and when it isn't working in transition dump the ball into Bogut and let him go to work. "

I don't mean this to rip an innocent message board poster on RealGM, but more to pose a question. After what we've seen so far this season in Miami, is this comparison even ridiculous? Has Shaq been any better than Andrew Bogut this year, and is there any reason the two couldn't fill similar roles?

According to every report the fountain of youth lies in Phoenix, and Shaq's been drinking from it like Vin Baker from a bottle of Boone's Farm. So I guess the answer depends solely on if you believe those reports or not.
