This makes Cleveland a lot better if they can get teh Shaq from last year and not the Shaq from his last year or so in MIA. I don't think this will put them over the top b/c they still need some young wing players to run with Lebron and that can finish. But this will depend on if Shaq comes to play and I believe he will b/c he wants a 5th ring then retire.

How did you come up with that number?

The only way the Suns can save a lot of money is if they buyout Ben Wallace or he retires

And cutting Sasha doesn't remove him from their cap.

Most of Sasha's deal is non-guaranteed, so they do save money by cutting him.

Quote:
The Cavaliers traded Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns on Wednesday in the deal for Shaquille O'Neal.
Only $1.5 million of Pavlovic's $4.8 million contract is guaranteed, making him a prime candidate to be waived before ever suiting up with the Suns. Whether he might re-sign with the Cavaliers remains to be seen.

The Big aint gonna do nothing to help the Cavs win a championship but take up space and be old

he is washed up, he is no longer a difference maker

I like Shaq but the Cavs will not be winning a championship with shaq and lebron
