Shaq gone by Feb

Mark my word ... the Cav will dump Shaq by the trade deadline in feb. O'Neil has been notorious for being a part time player. Once the all-star break happens (he may even be an all-star this year) they will look to move his salary to make room for a younger superstar to team with LeBron (maybe two) and stock pile more money for the LeBron contract.

I don't think the Cavs know exactly who they want but they'll keep their eyes on guys that can keep up with LeBron-- don't be shocked by a Chris Bosh or a Chris Paul level of player coming on board. Watch an up and comer like Boris Diaw, Troy Murphy, or dare I say David Lee of the Knicks.

It will be interesting as to which big goes-- Ilgauskas or Shaq-- Ilgauskas represents roughly an 11million dollar salary that can be dumped at year end ... wait and see. Danny Ferry is sitting on a goldmine with LeBron.

If he views LeBron as the power forward he could put together a weapon more powerful than the 80's showtime lakers.
