Cavaliers just got Shaq for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic.....Cavaliers for the championship babyyyy 

[Rillo]

LeBron and Shaq diesel?! Woah!

That's actually a pretty good trade. Pavlovic was so so and wallace was falling off a little bit.

I dont know if i see this really getting the cavs over the hump.  They got older and less athletic at their already old and non athletic center position.  The magic killed em with their screen and rolls because big z is too old and slow.  They need a more athletic big at least to be a defensive enforcer and another wing player.  But its good for both teams cuz suns drop a lot of cash soon and the cavs get to experiment with shaq and save 22mil next year when his contract is up.

im jus hopin this jefferson guy is worth the trade for the spurs... if so, then him, tim, and manu (if he doesnt get hurt again) could seriously be a triple threat...
shaq doesnt really pose a threat anymore... hes getting old and doesnt seem to have what he used to... but who knows, maybe him and lebron may have great chemistry on the court and play well together... who knows...


just my opinion...

[draztikrhymez]

Lots of trades already before draft night.

Vince Carter is going to the Orlando Magic for Rafer, Tony Battie & Courtney Lee

[Rillo]

Man oh man. We should make a list of the trades or something on here.

I'm a little busy but if no one does it I'll try and do it later.

Haha Ron Artest is a LAKER!

[Rillo]

Read about that.

This one article tried to compare Artest and Kobe to Jordan and Rodman...

[draztikrhymez]

haha yea, a lot of people are gonna make those comparisons.  If Kobe and Artest win at least 3 titles in a row together then they are merited otherwise not yet haha.

Mine has to be game 5 in the 1997 finals vs the Jazz. The "sick" game. That was the best game I have ever seen. God I miss those days when Basketball was fun to watch.
