It is official The Big Cactus Shaquile O'Neal is being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a washed up Ben Wallace and a inconsistent Sasha Pavlovic, I really don't know if this trade helped either team. SHAQ is now 37 and hasn't had the dominating impact that everyone expects from him even though he had a OK year in 2008, it is a chance that he could ride Lebron's coattail to another ring. But how lucky is SHAQ or does the NBA have something to do with all these championship ready team's that he land's on. And for Phoenix I guess dumping his salary and receiving to below average players was just what the doctor ordered, Ben Wallace is talking retirement after the season and it hasn't even started yet. And Palvlovic never bothered showing up all last season for the Cavaliers while they were winning with out him. The trade helped the NBA if anything because know they can advertise SHAQ and Lebron also Kobe is quietly restoring his marketing value after his alleged rape case, the NBA TV ratings can use the help and the arenas. So congratulations David Stern for a great behind the scenes move to help keep your league owners happy. One last thing when SHAQ does not get his way or if they start losing Coach Mike Brown better watch out because he will be first in his sight's.
