Blockbuster Trade: Shaq Going to Cavs

The Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers have come to an agreement on a trade that will send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns in exchange for Shaquille O'neal, who will now play alongside LeBron James. The Suns will also receive the 46th pick in Thursday's NBA draft and $500,000. But most importantly they get to dump Shaq's $21M salary on the Cavs and Cleveland gets what they feel is and essential player in their quest for a championship.
