And like I said, Shaq himself praised the Suns' staff for keeping him healthy last season, so him leaving that comfort zone is a point worth mentioning. And the Cavs didn't lose to Orlando because of Dwight Howard, they lost because they could not defend the pick and roll, which speaks to the lack of perimeter defenders. Shaq can't help that And are you really comparing Shaq and LeBron to Magic and Kareem? Step,

And are you really comparing Shaq and LeBron to Magic and Kareem?

I know it took 7 log years to win 1 without him and I know he won another in just 2 years with Miami, but tell the truth about his ability. Shaq is still 1 of the top 3 centers in the league(2 now that Yao is out). Don't question Shaq's health(he wasn't hurt last season) without questioning Bynum , KG's health, or any other player who was injured last season. Second, Against Orlando they had to double Howard and he kicked the ball out to open shooters. Now, no more double teams and everybody can stay with their man. the league is still afraid of Shaq on both ends of the court. Shaq puts all coaches in a hard spot, who to double and who not to double team! Third, Cleveland has to win now, its the only hope of keeping Lebron. If they don't win now he will be gone, plus when Lebron is off the court Shaq can run the offense. Carter, Jefferson, and the others named have never been part of a championship team and they don't command the same respect from the league and refs that Shaq brings to a team!!! Finally, Shaq and Lebron will be as good as Magic and Kareem. Lebron will not take as many hard fouls as he has had to take, because he now has a big brothers that scares Kobe, KG,Nash,Howard, and the rest of the league!!! Remember that can of kick butt Shaq opened up on the LAL's, Well this time he's bringing a friend! All NBA, All Star MVP, and led the league in shooting percentage, a mind is a terrible thing to waste if you say he will not help Cleveland. Kobe and Laker fans, learn to be real about Shaq.

How will Coach Brown split time between Shaq and Big Z, since there is no way they can be on the court at the same time or risk having one of the slowest line-ups in the league. Plus the Cavs now do not have any appealing expiring deals to move at the deadline to try and pick up what they actually need...an athletic wing scorer/defender. Their only movable piece at that point will be Shaq himself based on the cap space he can offer other teams. I just don't get it. This is a lateral move at best...they are still no better equipped to deal with Boston. Great analysis my friend. Couldn’t agree with you more Rashad.
