SHAQ-TASTIC! Cavaliers Acquire The Big Diesel

Rejoice, Cavalier fans! There is some BIG help on the way for King James and Company!

Just minutes ago, the Cavaliers finalized a deal that will send Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, and their 46th overall pick in tomorrow's draft for Shaquille O'Neal. This move will save the Suns millions and keep them from luxury tax hell. Wallace will likely be bought out, and Pavlovic may in fact be cut since only 1.5 million of his $5 million contract is guaranteed.

The deal gives LeBron a legitimate post threat for the first time in his career. O'Neal will more than likely take over as starting center for Zydrunas Ilgauskas. If the Cavaliers re-sign Anderson Varejao, Andy and O'Neal would provide a nice frontcourt more capable of defending against the LAs and Orlandos of the association. This will allow Z to adjust to a bench role where I believe he can still be a 8-10 ppg and 6 rpg guy. This is only the first of multiple moves for the Cavaliers as I feel they will look to still move up in the draft tomorrow night. They will probably look to add a perimeter guy with the MLE.

All I know is that Dan Gilbert, Danny Ferry, and the Cavalier organization are committed to winning, and let's hope the Big Diesel gets to put a fifth ring on that hand this coming June beside LeBron.

More to come tomorrow and as news breaks!

Kirk

Now Danny needs to sign AV, get one more complimentary big like Villanueva, and possibly a big guard (around 6'5" or 6'6").

It's a nice thought, but I think there are others who fit the Cavaliers better. Besides, who exactly do we have to trade to the Hawks so that they might accept such a trade?

DiBiasio coming on STO urging people to buy tickets is almost as sad as the RIAA guy who comes on the Grammys to plead not to steal music.

Fantastic diving catch by Trevor Crowe. Should've been a double play if Andy Marte could've scooped the throw back to first.

@castrovince Any word if Redmond will be someone's personal catcher? I vote Carmona!
CurseofClevKirk
I vote for Redmond to be Carmona's personal catcher. Has anyone heard word on who they are planning on linking him with?

Indians announced today that they took a small fee out of Mark Grudzielanek's paycheck from invitation to camp for extra letters on jersey.

@CavsWITNESS Cavaliers 103, Sixers 90.

@ESPN_FirstTake Followers of Skip Bayless should be called "morons".

I would have been furious if Bucks had lost, they did it to themselves, but were screwed by refs down the stretch too on several no calls.

@WFNYCraig Ha ha, I think he is referring to Thad sprinting to the scorer's table and emphatically giving the "COUNT IT!" signal.

Buckeyes survive ridiculous surge from Manny Harris and Michigan 69-68... Yea, Evan Turner is the player of the year.
