Now, the question isn’t will or will he not go. It’s more of should he go.

My take?

After missing out on getting him before the February trade deadline, the Cleveland Cavaliers now have Shaquille O'Neal. Is the big fela the final piece for the Cavaliers to win a title? Well....

You’ve heard the deal.

The Big Shaq deal to Cleveland.

Just check his Twitter page: The_Real_Shaq.

By the way , he found out about the trade on Twitter.

Crazy.

The Cavaliers have acquired Shaquille O’Neal in a trade with the Phoenix Suns. The Cavs got the Diesel in exchange for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic and a second-round pick in 2010.
