Lately, I have been on the heels with the Cav’s off season news. Surely this year’s disappointing Conference Finals loss to the Orlando Magic indicated that there are areas to improve on before they finally hold the title trophy up high.
They need an athletic wing with some size even though West and Lebron can play the entire game. They also need a dominant center someone who can guard the likes of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol 1-on-1. Cavs are still too thin in the bench which literally disappeared in the playoffs when it matters. But I am confident that these are areas that can be improved this offseason.
Yesterday, after a late dinner, my twitter was buzzing with news that Shaq has been traded to the Cavs for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, 2010 second round pick and $500,000 cash. Hell of a deal for a superstar. Yes, Shaq is 37 years old but he can still be dominant. He may not be effective in pick-and-rolls like Z, but he is a lane clogging force that will change the game for Lebron. 3 all-stars on a Cav’s team? Oh, and by signing Shaq, Cavs will have the cap space to be active come 2010 when Lebron, Chandler, Bosh, Wade, Yao and Amare are all unrestricted free agents.
Anyways, tonight’s draft were be a snoozer since the pool of talent is weak in comparison to previous years, still it would help some teams to fill their roster needs. Minnesota has something like 5 or 6 picks for this year’s draft so that would make them dangerous come a few years down. Oklahoma, Memphis and Portland are also filled with young talents that would make them interesting.
Anyways, NBA season is over and it is time to enjoy the summer with other activities.
