Getting Noticed By Management
Pending approval from the league the Phoenix Suns have agreed to send future Hall of Fame Center Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers for C Ben Wallace, SG Sasha Pavlovic, a 2nd round draft pick, and cash considerations expect to reach around half a million dollars. The trade gives Phoenix financial room for the future to either resign 2 time league MVP PG Steve Nash or let him go as well and build back up through the draft. Shaq has 20 million dollars left on a one year deal while Ben Wallace has a 14 million dollar expiring contract. Pavlovic is a crappy bench player who hasn't started meaningful minutes since the last time Cleveland made the finals. Shaq on the other hand gives LeBron James a presence in the paint to take up double teams even at Shaq's age hes still dominant. This trade is highway robbery and Cleveland is gonna make one more run at a championship before King James has to make the biggest decision of his career on whether or not to resign with the Cavs next season or test free agency and get the biggest sports contract in sports history. (He's expected to make more than A-Rod next season) Only time will tell but for now Cleveland rocks again!
