SHAQ Traded to the Cleveland CAVS!!!



In a blockbuster trade the Phoenix Suns agree to send Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Sasha Pavlovic & Ben Wallace. Alot of people think this makes Cleveland an instant lock for the 2010 NBA Finals, but they still look to need a perimeter piece... someone like Matt Barnes(who is an available free agent). The Cavs are really trying to do what they can to keep Lebron in town after 2010 when his contract is up... who know's, this might work! The city of Cleveland is an uproar tonight.
