Should Cleveland go after shaq?

If they wanted I'm sure they could make a deal 2 get shaq and still keep Lebron, Mo williams and other key players.

I'm thinking like,

shaq

4

hickson, szerbiack, and varejoa or illgauskas

wat u think?

Update:

Yall are right about messing up the chemistry, especially in da middle of the season

I just thought lebron would like it, shaq would like it. and it would make them better this season.

    They don't need Shaq, or his huge contract, if they plan on keeping LeBron when he becomes free agent. Maybe if Shaq was in his prime, but not now in his decline Plus they already have Illgauskas who is a skilled post scorer, has great size, is a shot blocking presence and can shoot from mid range much better than Shaq has ever been able to or even attempted to. With the Cavs running their offense through a player like James who drives to the basket a lot, Illgausks with his shooting ability spreading the defense is more valubable than Shaq would be with him clogging the lane and needed post ups to score.

    I don't think it would work, Shaq does not fit into the Cleveland offense. Illgauskas plays a perimeter game opening up the paint for Lebron to drive. Shaq is not a threat outside of 7-8 feet, so that would not work with him there.

    I don't even know why you guys are questioning Shaq moving....I'm a Suns fan and hate Shaq in the Suns and would love to see him go (he's a great guy, just stop making the Suns look like a franchise good players come to retire to). But nothing's happening, Shaq's not moving.

    Illguaskas is a good center Shaq got only like 1-3 years left so I think he will be in Suns

  • Woah. Don't even mention Z in a trade. lol

    Z is retiring as a Cavalier, we would NEVER give him away.

    If we were to trade Andy and J.J. for Shaq, we would be trading 2 young and developing big men for a Veteran player near retirement.

    I don't know! Cavalier rumors are flying around like crazy. Just go to cavsfanatic.com < my goodness.

    I can't really say anything, all I know is Danny Ferry is a very smart guy...he will make the right move.

    What's the point of going after Shaq? He is aging, and what's too much money. The Cavs need all the money they can get to re-sign LeBron James.

    Cleveland has actually offered a trade similar to that to the Suns, but its for Amare not Shaq.

    no ilgelckus got some years left shaq said hes retiring after this season

    Why would u want Shaq slowing your team down. Illgauskas is a good center and they can win with him.
