Shaquille O'Neal Traded to Cleveland

From Yahoo Sports:

The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement in principle to acquire Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal, multiple sources involved in the talks told Yahoo! Sports late Thursday night.

Cleveland will send Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, the 46th pick in Thursday’s draft and cash to the Suns for O’Neal.

Cleveland and Phoenix were both juggling multiple trade possibilities with other teams, with the Cavs involved with as many as six trade scenarios.


Uh... wow. Watch out for Cleveland.

If LeBreezy wins a title next year, I think it must be universally understood that Shaquille O'Neal is the single greatest player of his era. Not Kobe. Not Wade. Not LeBron.

If not the greatest, Shaq would be neck-and-neck with Michael Jordan for that honor.

But an outstanding move by the Cavs. Shaq is coming off a legit All-Star year and will only get better with LeBron.
