There are rumors out there, strong rumors, that Shaq will be traded to the Cavs to join Lebron in the last year of his contract. Nothing pisses off Shaq more then watching his former plus-one Kobe Bryant win an NBA championship. Ffor Shaq to remain the alpha male of their days as Laker teamates Shaq needs to win a fifth. Who better to do it with than the Celtics? Well the Celtics don't want him so he is settling for the Cavs.
How much does Shaq weigh? Let's say 350lbs. Shaq has to stay within 5 feet of the hoop at all times otherwise he is completely useless. Next question, what is Lebron's best skill set? With out any doubt it's his ability to drive the lane and finish. This is why I really hope this trade goes through as a Celtics fan, because it will make Lebron so much easier to guard. Shaq is going to clog up the lane so much with his dino-body that it's going to limit the options for Lebron and make him shoot from the outside even more then he does. Even if he is hitting jumpers, I'd rather have him shooting than driving. If this trade goes down they might as well only play the western conference games because the east is going to be a joke. Please Cavs, make this trade happen.
As a Suns fan I have mixed feelings about his trade going through. The Cavs want Shaq pretty much for his defense. Big Z can't guard Jung. They are saying that Shaq will probably be traded for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavloich. This would be a shitty move on Steve Kerr's part. Wallace is talking about retiring and Sasha is a bumb. I'm all for getting rid of Shaq's $20 million a year contract, but we gotta get someone better for it.
