Today i heard Rick Kamlin say on Fox Sports radio that there is no chance of Yao going to the cavs but he gives the rumor that Shaq joining the cavs a 90%chance and very soon.

Yeah, I'm expecting Shaq on the Cavs too.  I think he'll damage their team chemistry, though, and I don't think they're going to be as good this year, though they'll still be tough in the playoffs.
Could pull a Miami though, and win it the year after they were the best team during the regular season.

Maybe, but I have a hard time believing that if the Celtics or Lakers are at full strength this year ONE of them wouldn't beat the Cavs.  Shaq makes a big difference but probably not enough of a difference (at 37 or however old he is now) to make them good enough to go from losing in the ECF to the Magic to winning in the Finals.
I think the C's with Garnett or the Cavs would have beaten the Lakers in 6.

Shaq isn't enough but they were good enough to win it this year. I still can't believe they didn't trade Wally for some help....

I agree about the Celtics but I don't think the Cavs would have beaten the Lakers.  Who was the only team to beat the Cavs at home during the regular season in a serious game?  The Lakers.  The Cavs were a great regular season but they just weren't that good against teams built to contend.
Never forget the Champs of '08, or the gutsy warriors of '10.
