[NBA] SHAQ to the CAVS! in Sports Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22606883 en Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:29:23 EDT Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:29:23 EDT Re: [NBA] SHAQ to the CAVS! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22620453 ProtusMose : Lebron & Shaq from 1999 may have been able to do something. Lebron and Shaq from 2009 won't go anywhere. Cavs' GM pulled this as a last ditch effort to keep Lebron away from NY. (I curse his name.) He has to know Shaq isn't a viable long term solution. If they're smart, they use this to buy them another year and find a way to make some killer trades to get Lebron a solid 4 and a decent backup for the 20 minutes a game Shaq sits on the bench.

Last time I checked they couldn't stop the pick and role with Rashard and Hedo... and if Shaq tries to go out there he is slower than any other big which makes him more of a liability..

Wow this is crazy, looks like Shaq is headin to Cleveland to help out lebron and co.

Never expected that!
Shaq has seen his better years for sure, but this cant do anything but help them. They needed a true center for defense after Dwight Howard pretty much won game 7 by himself. He's a good player but he's not 40 pts a game good. The Cavs still need someone that can knockdown open shots consistently when Lebron has to pass the ball. I see them making one more big trade.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22619909 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:29:57 EDT Re: [NBA] SHAQ to the CAVS! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613313 zaldy :

It doesn't matter....LeBron isn't winning chit with Shaq, meng.

Shaq is done. His best days were with the Lakers. When the Cavs fail again next year, we will all laugh our asses off even harder..:+))) ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613069 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:47:45 EDT Re: [NBA] SHAQ to the CAVS! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22612932 MuDvAyNe : Lebron likes NYC. That is why I think he is going to jump ship. Even though he gets a lot of endorsements I think being in NYC will help him achieve even more money in that market. Hell he plays great in MSG so why not play great 41 times a year there :o

edit : Also when the Cavs drafted Lebron their team was as bad as the Knicks are now.

Kobe just got his ring without Shaq... and his team will be contenders for the next 5 some years... Shaq has this year and his team isn't the best team in the East... The Lakers are the best team in the NBA... pretty sure Shaq is weeping cause Kobe got that ring

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'.
Cavs right now are the 3rd best team in the East... The Celtics and Magic are fighting for that 1 and 2 spot

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

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.

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.

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.
You make a good point. 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.

Namath and Broadway....As if it was meant for one another

Only in New York
