There aren't any risks

“Patrick McManamon looks at what Shaq bring to Cleveland and says the rewards of the trade are greater than the risks.”

Giving up nothing to get someone as good as Shaq is, even in his old age, is risk free. Except for injury of course and everyone has those risks.

You’re right, he’s always been fun to watch. It’s going to be so awesome having him and LeBron on the same team. This team was fun to watch last year, I can’t imagine what it will be like this year. I’m pumped.

NBA FREE ANGENCY

As a Fan of the Cleveland Cavs, Please Danny Ferry, wake – up and go get Trevor Ariza before the Houston Rockets get him. He can play defense, shoot the 3-ball, rebound and play the pick – in – roll and can defend all the top power forwards in the eastern conference. Most of all he’s young and he’s been tested & would complyment Lebron and Shaq, resigning Andy V, and having him play the power forward or center coming in off the bench, this could be best front line in Eastern Conference and possible NBA. Charlie Villanueva & Ron Artest have signed, this would be Cleveland’s best chance of winning a Title. Come On Danny……………………………. Step – Up ! Blacksilkys.

Cavs, Free Agency For 2009 & 2010.

Danny Ferry, Sign Trevor Ariza, He’s young and can flat out Ball. Resign, Andy V. Wrap – Up Lebron next year and then go get Chris Bosh. Could = Multiple Championships in Cleveland Ohio. Lebron gets his Money & Fame, Management makes lots of Money and all of North Eastern Ohio gets a Champion in the Cavs for possible years to come.
