Shaq and Lebron...that'll be a very interesting combo. But I still say Cavs should go for Amare...he's younger and probably has more years in him left. Don't count out Shaq though...he can still be a significant factor for the Cavs if he's in shape and stays healthy in 2010.
Shaq wasn't much of a factor in Phoenix. But any decent big man combined with LeBron James will be dangerous. Shaq has a good 20 minutes in every game left in him, if he stays somewhat in shape. I agree that Amare is a better choice for the Cavs.
I think Shaq will make any team he goes to better. I'd rather have an old Shaq than a injury-prone Amare Stoudemire. Plus, Stoudemire is gone in 2010 when the Cavs will need to be putting everything into keeping LeBron. Shaq is perfect. He's there for 1 year, which should be enough to get Cleveland the championship they need to keep LeBron.
That being said, I hope the Rockets get him to back up Yao in place of the now retired Dikembe Mutombo
The big buzz in the trade rumor mill is that Shaq could be headed to Cleveland soon.
