Shaquille O'Neal Going to the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Is the Big Diesel about to be moved to the Cavaliers?

At first all of the signs were pointing to Amar'e Stoudemire being traded.

However, now that Terry Porter has been fired and Alvin Gentry, the former assistant of Mike D’Antoni, is the new head coach, the Suns are back to their fast-break offense.

Stoudemire clearly fits better in that system, which is evident by his 40-point outburst against the Clippers Wednesday night.

The person who now seems likely to be traded is Shaquille O’Neal. Originally I read two reports claiming that the Cavaliers have offered Shaq to the Suns for Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic.  

However, new reports are saying that the trade talks have stalled, because the Suns are pushing Cleveland to substitute Wally Szczerbiak for Ben Wallace.

If the Cavaliers pull this deal off, you might as well Fedex the Larry O’Brien Trophy to Quicken Loans Arena.
