The Suns have traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, a second round pick, and $500,000.

The deal is expected to be finalized and announced Thursday morning.
wow.

Oh my god COME ON Ben Wallace is retiring, Pavlovic didn't even play last year and a 2nd rounder is crap. This is right up there with the Gasol trade.... almost.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Shaq's a punk.
sometimes you have to bite your lip, exhale and move on.  So, I have.

More reason for me to root against the Cavs now. This trade obviously makes them better next year, which is disappointing. Danny better step up his game this Summer. Spurs and Cavs have already gotten better.

I am looking forward to Dwight Howard destroying Shaq. Shaq is a punk.  8)  Howard idolized him growing up and Shaq just talks smack about him from afar for no reason.

I'm not worried about this at all, Perk can handle Shaq without any help. I heard a rumor that Charlie Villanuava( sp?) is willing to sign with Cle for the MLE, I would be more worried about that....

Wow. Phoenix got nothing for Shaq at all. I guess they realized there were no other takers, but they couldn't even get $1 million?

The more I think about it, obviously Shaq is better than Wallace, but the Cavs are still horribly designed offensively. You have slow big men who can't shoot from the outside, except for the 45 yr old Z (yes I know Giddens is 24...hyperole ;) lol). They're going to be clogging the paint from Lebron on drives. None of them can match up against Rashard Lewis or Odom or KG. And all their guards are point guard sized.

I agree, plus they are going to be even worse on defense. I can't wait to see Shaq and Big Z trying to guard the pick and Roll with Rondo and KG....

The bigger question is what's next for the Suns? Is Amare staying now?

Shaq or no Shaq. Either way Cleveland's going down.

Doubt he'll want to. I'd expect him to be traded maybe later today, If he was to be traded.
