A potential Suns trade that would send center Shaquille O'Neal to Cleveland to help LeBron James' title quest is heating up again after the idea was killed back at the trade deadline. The trade consist of the Suns would send O'Neal to Cleveland for veteran power forward Ben Wallace, who is considering retirement, and reserve guard Sasha Pavlovic, whose final contract year is not fully guaranteed. This would help both teams since Steve Nash has said the team needs more-active big men. Nash had some difficulty incorporating O'Neal's post-up game after running a system based on his skills. Also this is a plus for the Suns because the trade could save the Suns $9.9 million or even more if Wallace wants a buyout. It makes since to the Cavs because getting O'Neal would counter Dwight Howard and the Magic, who took them out in the Finals. The Cavs should do it before Shaq's window close and he retires.
Other options could be: The Clippers are expected to part with one of their three bigs because they will draft Oklahoma forward/center Blake Griffin with the No. 1 overall pick; Chris Kaman. Marcus Camby, a former Defensive Player of the Year, Zach Randolph. Then you have Rasheed Wallace, Charlie Villanueva, and Carlos Boozer. Just pick up anybody better than what you have now.
