Shaq's slogan "Win a RIng for the King." The Cavs who lost to the Magic in the Eastern Conference, now have the Big Diesel to help slow down Superman2 Dwight Howard. We all know the pre-game antics will be a sportcenter nightly special, but will they really win the whole thing? The trade that brought Shaq in sent Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns. Cleveland will still need to add 1 or 2 players to make it official, but anytime you add Shaq its an upgrade.
Vince Carter to the Magic
Orlando pulled a Big Surprise by adding Vince-Sanity to the roster, choosing him over free agent Hedo Turkoglo. Im not sure how this will make them a better team by losing Hedo but Carter will give them a pure scorer on the wing. Alston and Courtney Lee were sent to the Nets, while Ryan Anderson also came in with VC. The Magic like the Cavs need to add another piece to make a super run back to the Finals.
Ron Artest to the Lakers
The Rich get Richer! After the Lakers beat the Rockets in Game 7 of the Western Conf Semis, Artest went to the lockeroom and told Kobe he would do everything he could to get to LA next year..and he did. Now the Champs have a proven All-Star to pair with Kobe and a defensive stopper who can lock up any player on the court. I already had the Lakers penned in for the Finals in 2010 and this just solidifies my pick.
that ron artest to the lakers move is gonna be reaaaaal interesting
