BWAHAHAHAHABWA. Well Orlando your run has officially ended. No more doubling Dwight and leaving shooters wide open. If Mike Brown messes this up, he will getran out of Cleveland so fast his hair will grow back. Ey, and we still might get Sheed or Charlie V, and there's speculation we might move up in the draft,BWAHAHAHAHABWA. I CAN NOT WAIT TIL NEXT SEASOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN. CAVS and Lakers both winning 70+ games next year, i'm calling it now.BWAHAHAHAHABWA I feel so sorry for the Eastern Conference.

The thing is the best teams on paper don't alway win. Shaq is for sure gonna spread the floor, but besides West I don't see anyoneknocking down shots consistently (Maybe Mo WilliamsOriginally Posted by tupac003

Consider that defenses can't cheat off Shaq like they did Ben Wallace...
BINGO...leaves things wide open.
The Cavs (on paper) IMO are one player away from th finals AT LEAST.

Move up in the draft for what? Plus you'd have to trade someone on the roster of value. Don't be dumb

Nah patna you don't be dumb, a lot of teams looking to sell picks and move down. Cavs have money to buy a pick and a pick to trade. Know what you talkingabout before speaking.

People need to stop acting like this is the 2000 version of Shaq... Or even the 2005 version. He will be 37 next season, and 37-38 is an age where legends whohave played in a league for a while REALLY start to drop off.
For example:
Hakeem's numbers at 36 (the age Shaq was this previous season):
18.9 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 2.5 bpg
Hakeem's numbers at 37, the following season:
10.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.6 bpg
If he commits himself and works hard to stay in shape during the offseason, I believe Shaq can put up one last fight this year, where he isn't atotal role player.

They're not gonna pick anybody to help the team. Who wants to trade down?

Dude had a nice season last year. Now, with Lebron, you know Shaq is going to be really motivated to get another title before he checks out. One of the biggestthings Cleveland needed against Orlando was someone down low who could do his thing on his own. Regardless of Shaqs age, he's def. still a problem for MANYteams, it's not like the league is filled with dominate big man, dude can still hold it down. Cleveland is still going to have to add another piece to thepuzzle, but they are addressing some key needs already. No matter how you look at it - Shaq is a HUGE upgrade over Wallace (who said he might retire...) and
