Witness Protection!

So the Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Shaquille O'Neal. WOW. I can't believe a Cleveland team actually traded FOR a superstar, instead of trading away a superstar. It's a nice breath of fresh air for a Cleveland team. It'll be interesting to see what the Cavs can do with Shaq. We couldn't get through Orlando because no one could stop Dwight Howard. The Lakers won the championship because they have big guys...this was a move that had to be made. Plus, we gave up Ben Wallace (garbage) and Sasha Pavlovic (trash) to get a future Hall-of-famer. Can't really beat a deal like that, can ya? Hopefully Shaq is willing to play second fiddle to LeBron, and hopefully Shaq will do everything he can to bring a championship to Cleveland.

It's funny...right when I was just about to give up on even the Cavaliers (you know, the only Cleveland team that actually has any chance of winning a championship in the near future), they reel me back in. Hopefully this shows LeBron that the Cavs front office is willing to do whatever it takes to build the best team possible, and LeBron will want to stick around for a long time. Only time will tell.

I'm already ready for basketball season. Let's get it crackin'.
