Windy: Shaq close to being Cav (PG. 10 update)

[Kongo Time]

Both. For next year and the next 4.

Team 1 is longer, more athletic, more versatile, and deeper.

The same tyson Chandler that no one knows how they are healing.

So you are already saying Shaq will fall off the table?

That won't happen until Shaq cannot move. Last year PROVED that he can still move.

Hakeem Olajuwon:
At 36: 19ppg 9.5rpg 51.4% shooting
At 37: 10pg 6rpg 46% shooting

David Robinson:
At 35: 14.4ppg 8.6rpg 49% shooting
At 36: 12ppg 8.3rpg 51.5% shooting
At 37: 8.5ppg 8rpg 47% shooting

Patrick Ewing:
At 36: 17ppg 10rpg 44% shooting
At 37: 15ppg 10rpg 46% shooting
At 38: 10ppg 7.4rpg 43% shooting

Moses Malone:
At 35: 10ppg 8rpg 47% shooting
At 36: 15.6ppg 9rpg 47% shooting
At 37: 4.5ppg 4.2rpg 31% shooting

Artis Gilmore:
At 36: 16.7ppg 8.5rpg 61% shooting
At 37: 11ppg 7rpg 60% shooting
At 38: 4ppg 2.6rpg 51% shooting

Not one player over the age of 37 with the type of "dominant championship level" year people here assuming Shaq will have with the notable exception of Kareem whom history has shown to be the aberration rather than the norm.

The cliff is fast approaching.......

Okay, which team is better in James' eyes?

Mo
Childress
James
CV
Chandler

Bench - (Clark, Williams, or Brown), Boobie, Delonte, AV, Z, JJ, etc....

or

Mo
Delonte
James
CV
Shaq

Bench - Boobie, AV, Z, JJ, etc....

I am taking the first team EVERY time.

In your first scenario how do you plan on getting both CV and Childress? If we can get both, why cant we add Childress to second team and put Delonte on bench.

Only difference then is Shaq vs Chandler

stephenasmithAlert! Alert! My sources tell me it's OFFICIAL: SHAQUILLE O'NEAL IS A CLEVELAND CAVALIER. LeBron officially has his best shot at a title.

Still not sure if its true

Hakeem Olajuwon:

At 37: 100pg 6rpg 46% shooting

I'm a huge Hakeem fan, but damn... that's just nasty.

Here's to hoping Shaq takes his scoring average from last year times 5

 

[KIisKing]

Has anyone noticed that the Cavs seem to bring in the old players who used to be really good? Shawn Kemp, Ben Wallace, Wally, and now Shaq.

PDcavsinsiderI am now being told by a high ranking source that the Shaq deal has been agreed to. More to come

CV with the MLE.

Childress s&t for Sasha.


We can't get Childress if we get Shaq cause we will be trading Sasha to get Shaq. We can't get Brown, for instance, cause we are trading our 30th pick. ETC....

Except Shaq is so massive and physically strong that his style of play still works even at his older age.

I guess Steven A. was right for once

One problem, MYOUNG...those guys showed a gradual decline....Shaq showed a decline, then a resurgence. He's already a different case, and he's a different physical specimen. His athleticism is less important than his brute strength and size. There's a reason Shaq's such a unique human, player and athlete.

Cavs land Shaq for Wallace, Pavlovic

By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports 15 minutes ago

The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement in principle to acquire Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal, a league source told Yahoo! Sports late Thursday night.

Cleveland will send Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, the 46th pick in Thursday’s draft and cash to the Suns for O’Neal.
