Brooklyn, NY | He has one year to make it happen. Both Lebron and Shaq are FA after the season. You know the Cavs are only going to "try" to bring back Lebron.
Good Luck Cav fans!

I dunno, can Shaq still play more than 30 mins game in and game out? He don't jump that much also...I dunno...maybe people will just expect something from him that he can only give 10 years ago. |

The Cavs can offer more money than anyone else, and LeBron is from the area. Why wouldn't they go after him with everything they got? This isnt Major League Baseball, where you can be priced out of the market, especially when you have no other max contracts on your payroll.
If Yao Ming can be an international superstar from frickin Houston, and Tiger Woods can make $1 billion without any identifiable home area, there's no reason LeBron cant kick ass in Cleveland. With the global and mobile market the way it is, being in New York is a lot less important for an athlete's endorsements than it was 20 years ago.

If that doesn't work they can sign Wilt Chamberlain. |

Good! I think the only wau Cleveland will get Lebron to stay is if the team wins a championship next year.
Here's hoping...

Back in the day a guy like Joe Willie Namath and New York was a GO from the get-go.
But it wouldn't be like that today for the reasons you gave. |

Denver, CO | I think it's actually a tremendous benefit for LeBron to stay away from New York. First of all, that franchise is still a shambles. Second, he wouldn't have to deal with the crush of the New York media, which can ruin a guy pretty quickly *cough*A-Rod*cough*. Third, Cleveland really doesn't have anything going for it, and he can rule that city for the rest of his life, especially if he pulls down a ring or two.

Man Phoenix has been in shambles ever since their trade to get Shaq. I still don't get why their GM still has a job. With just one move he made a contender into a team that keeps falling toward the bottom. |

said by Mats:Too bad Shaq wasnt on the Cavs this year. I doubt it would've made much difference. Shaq can't hit an outside shot so he'd have to stay near the basket where Howard would like to be on defense to pick up Lebron driving. On the defensive end he is a liability on the pick 'n roll just like Ilgauskas. Plus at 37 he's effective for only 20 minutes a game.
Predict Cavs will get bounced out in the East finals again vs a healthy Celtic squad and Kobe will be asking Shaq 'how his ass tastes'. |

Denver, CO | Shaq can make Kobe shit his pants just by glaring at him. That's one big muthafucka who can get real scary.

Yes, if KG was healthy this year the Celtics would have smoked the Cavs, I can't see Shaq changing anything. The Cavs are at their best when they are running, perhaps Shaq will give them a few more rebounds but he's old and slow so I doubt he will elevate their game.

Trenton, NJ | Shaq is a 40 year old who cant play a full game... he took a suns team that was contenders year in and year out to be noncontenders... Shaq isn't even a top 5 big anymore... Vince will be better for the Magic than Shaq will be for the Cavs... the Cavs should have gone after Vince thats what they needed... Dwight didn't kill them... Rashard did and they STILL have no one to guard Rashard... and NOW the Magic has VINCE CARTER!! They should have gone after Vince so Vince could match up on Rashard
