Seeing how witness turned into weakness in their Eastern Conference Finals series with Orlando, Cleveland just bought themselves Witness Protection by acquiring Shaquille O'Neal and his $20M salary from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for backup center Ben Wallace and seldomly-used reserve Sasha Pavlovic.
This trade should help beef up their weak frontline but I'm not so sure it will be enough to rule the East next year. If anything, they should match up better now against Orlando's Dwight Howard.
With Shaq having one year left in his deal and Lebron possibly opting out after next season, the pressure for the Cavs to win an NBA title now just dramatically increased exponentially. Cleveland fans have about a year to find out how this interesting saga will end.
