NBA Free Agency: Shaq, T-Mac, Allen Iverson - Which Could Hurt You Most?

If I told you that three free agents with eight NBA scoring titles, 2 NBA MVP trophies and 4 NBA Championships between them were still available for the picking, most NBA GM's would jump at the idea of adding them to the team.

But these aren't your typical free agents.  They are locker room distractions, injury-prone and they have more issues than Lindsey Lohan.

In fact, they can actually hurt your team. Let's take a look at these three free agents and figure out who can hurt your team the most...

Shaquille O'Neal: The Big Teammate

Shaquille O'Neal is the most decorated and accomplished player on this list.

He has four NBA titles and definitive Hall-of-Fame credentials.

But the reality is, he is past his prime and is just trying to get one more big payday before he retires.

Shaq is a terrible free throw shooter and a liability on defense. He defends the pick-and-roll poorly and slows down the game.

He can still be a presence inside but only at limited minutes.

Shaquille O'Neal: The Big Distraction

He's also been a BIG locker room distraction. Remember his well-documented spat with Kobe?

He checked out in Miami and reportedly feuded with Pat Riley. Then after his stint in Phoenix, he called Nash's MVPs "tainted."

The big guy was probably in his behavior in Cleveland but he wasn't much of a factor until the playoffs. It was a contract year though, so his past history doesn't warrant him the benefit of a doubt.

Shaquille O'Neal: The Big Free Agent

Maybe it's time to go to China?

Allen Iverson: Former Scoring Champion

During his prime, Iverson was a scoring machine. With four scoring championships he had the ability to carry his team.

A.I. still dominates the ball, but now that his talent has waned his ballhogging ways may actually hurt a team.

Allen Iverson: The Alcoholic and Constant Distraction

Iverson’s gambling problems and alcohol issues have been widely documented this offseason

During his first stint with the Sixers, he had issues with the coaching staff and stormed out of practice. While with the Detroit Pistons he threw a tantrum and threatened to retire when asked to consider a bench role. Later, as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson expressed more displeasure in having a bench role. Then parties eventually agreed to part ways.

Allen Iverson: The Free Agent?

Iverson, 35, is still capable of scoring in bunches. But teams, knowing his history, are probably reluctant to consider adding the free agent.

Unless he's open to diminished minutes and a possible bench role, Iverson may never have a chance to redeem himself in the NBA.

Tracy McGrady: The Loser

McGrady, 31, has never led a team past the first round of the playoffs.

Tracy McGrady: Off-The-Court

The plus on McGrady? He is less of a locker room distraction than Iverson or Shaq.

Unlike the other two, T-Mac has actually been vocal about his willingness to take on a role as a reserve.

Tracy McGrady: Free Agent

Here's a red flag: He worked out for the Clippers and they signed Rasual Butler instead.

When it sounded like he was a sure bet to be a Chicago Bull, the team had second thoughts.

Now league executives are wondering what's really going on with him.

Which One Hurts A Team The Most?

There's no doubt about it, the player that hurts the team the most is Shaquille O'Neal.

At this point in his career, the only thing he brings to a team is a big body. Along with that big body is a huge unpredictable personality.
