Shaq sent to Cleveland

  So it seems the trade that has been rumored for a few months is finally official.   The big trade bait has been sent down river to the 60+ win Cavs for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic.  Neither one is expected to make much an impact in a Suns uniform - if they even ever end up wearing one since one (Pavlovic) can be bought out to save money and the other is contemplating retirement.   I have a hunch that given his history of making financial decisions Robert Sarver may buy out Pavlovic.   Just call it a hunch.

  What's really surprising is that  Steve Kerr isn't getting any real assets for the big fella.  I know, I know, we were all convinced he'd be able to pull a Mitch Kupchak and get something for nothing a la the Pau Gasol trade, but surprisingly this doesn't seem to be the case.   It would also seem that this has finally proved conclusively that the Shaq for Marion trade was on the "moron" side. 

One final thing -  we will see how that affects the "summer of Lebron" next year.   Will the Big guy convince Lebron to stay in town when he's eligible to be a free agent after next season?  Funny how the Suns giving up Shaq for nothing might just affect the future of the whole league...
