Cavs Land Shaq

The Cleveland Cavaliers landed the deal they should have made back before the trade deadline and snagged Shaquille O’Neal from Phoenix in a salary dump. This definitely makes Cleveland better, but they really should have made it sooner—Shaq’s not going to be any less old in the 2010 playoffs than he was in 2009. Still, it’s an unquestionable upgrade. Meanwhile, Phoenix acquiring Shaq looks as ridiculous today as it did the day they announced the deal.
