The Suns have traded Shaq to the Cavs for Ben Wallace and Pavlovic.

What is everyone's thought on this one? I'm torn. I am a fan of Shaq, but a fan of Shaq 10 years ago. I'm worried about his ability to play an 82 game season as well as his inability to get out of the way on a Lebron drive into the paint. The Cavs are already a poor FT shooting team, they will obviously be worse.

Shaq does bring the "Star" quality 2nd player that Lebron needs, but I'm not sure if he brings enough game.

agreed. i think they brought Shaq over to guard Dwight Howard.

Pretty smart in my opinion, if you can cut Dwight's points by a few, I say the Cavs beat the Magic.

That's what I thought, but they gave Miami nothing for him.

IMO, it was not Dwight that beat the Cavs. It was lack of a PG. Moe played great in the regular season, but did nothing in the playoffs. By not forcing an uptempo game, the Cavs had to sit back and play Orlando's game.
