FOXSports.com said:It looks like Superman will team up with LeBron James next season.
The Phoenix Suns have agreed in principle to send center Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, cash and a second-round pick in Thursday's draft, according to multiple reports.
The deal could be finalized Thursday.
O'Neal, a 15-time All-Star who averaged 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds in 75 games last season, would provide championship experience and a proven post player for the Cavs — two areas that hurt them this season.
O'Neal, 37 and a four-time NBA champion, is entering the last year of his contract, giving the Cavs cap flexibility after next season. He will make $20 million next season.
The Suns' motivation seems to be a straight salary dump. The Suns save $10 million on the deal, half of it by lowering their payroll below the luxury tax limit. They plan to buy out Pavlovic, who has $1.5 million of his $4.95 million contract guaranteed.
Pavlovic, a wing player who averaged 4.6 points last season, and Wallace — a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year whose best days are behind him — aren't part of what is obviously a rebuilding plan for the Suns.
Wallace, a center who's in the final year of a $14 million deal, has even publicly talked about retirement this summer.
The Cavs finished with the NBA's best regular-season record at 66-16. However, their season ended in the Eastern Conferences finals, losing to the Orlando Magic.
lol Shaq was the best player in the NBA when he won with Kobe, it's a lot different now.no snowy, it's good for a quickie. its good if it wasnt lol
but this can't end well.
it's either LeBron can't win without Shaq, or he couldn't win, even WITH Shaq.
now, do i believe this, not necessarily, but it really depends on what Shaq does.
lmao. +1Shaq + LeBron is like the generic cereal you find at Wal-Mart compared to the real name brand Shaq + Kobe
Actually I'd prefer the penny and shaq duo.Shaq + LeBron is like the generic cereal you find at Wal-Mart compared to the real name brand Shaq + Kobe
