I think this is to good to be true. Kobe will put the stamp on his legacy with the Big Twitterer on the same team with the Chosen One.
 
Ooooh, I can’t wait.

Wow, this is bad.

no more excuses for the chosen one

I mean the Suns were a good fast-paced team before Shaq got there, then they got worse. He just isn’t the same player anymore. This will slow the any fast paced action the Cavs plan on having.

And I’m not being a hater. I like both players. But how’s LeBron going to charge into the paint with Shaq in his way?

what is shaq gonna say now? that lebron is the best player hes ever seen? first he was on wades nuts then on kobe this season, now lebron next season…send his ass to sesame street. he can blow big bird and rap about it too.

So let me get this straight, the team that finished with the league’s best record last year and was a “lock” to make the finals is now going through major renovations? Newsflash, teams that good not named the Florida Marlins don’t have to make major trades in the offseason. Hmmm maybe Mo Williams wasn’t the solution or even an all star at that. This just proves that the Cavs were to their credit huge over-achievers, and that the Eastern Conference is still the Eastern Conference

The biggest thing Cleveland has been missing for several years is a solid post presence. Orlando’s biggest advantage against Cleveland was that they always had one frontcourt player they didn’t have to guard (Varajeo, Wallace) and thus Howard had freedom to roam, a rather dangerous proposition for any team. Cleveland’s role players simultaneously choosing to choke during the series didn’t help, but the moment Orlando shut down Cleveland’s shooters by playing off Varajeo or Wallace, they could force LeBron to go for 50 every night. By the end of the series, he was downright exhausted at the load he had to bring, a downright miraculous achievement because we’ve seen LeBron go for near-48 minute runs in multiple, consecutive games in the playoffs before.

Now, they have Shaq to command the double team down low. As far as driving lines go, I think that’s slightly overrated. It’s up the offensive coordinator to create the proper spacing for cutting lanes to be available, some of which will because Shaq will command at least a semi-double team. Granted, given how poor Cleveland’s offensive coordination has been, this might be a problem, but it’s not as big an issue as people are saying it will be.

Lebron’s run in CLE is DONE.

He will be a Knick for sure now.

This trade has got to have Kobe salivating. Kill 2 bird with one stone, and get his 5th? If you think the Lakers no longer have any motivation, we just got one more reason to watch basketball this year.

The only thing that would be sweeter if the Lebron and Shaq get trade to Boston.

Rondo, Pierce, Lebron, KG, Shaq……. okay now thats a scary lineup. Shaq and Lebron still arent gonna be enough to stop the repeat. GO LAKERS
