TRADE: Shaq to Cavs for Ben and Pavlovic

[Fool]

Same question.

[Glenn]

The assumption is that the Hornets would want Ben/Sasha for the same reason that the Suns did, to buy them out.

[Glenn]

Since it involves Shaq, I was waiting for the Twitter angle.

Um, yes. I think Lebron would have been happier to get West than Shaq but there's no reason to assume the Cavaliers had a real chance at getting West.

Also, I think Lebron would have been happier getting Duncan than Shaq, or Gasol, or a number of other players.

Plain Dealer honks still speculating that the Cavs will go after Sheed with their MLE.

I would totally agree if the Spurs and Lakers were, like the Hornets, teams that are desperate to shed salary to get under the tax level.

I'm glad that poor examples aren't just my problem today. Thanks!

So you've been hearing the Hornets are shopping West for trash?

Share with the rumors thread. Don't hog shit.

[Glenn]

You are pretending to be naive, I get it.

Trying to put the burden of proof on me for something that cannot be proven is a nice move, though.

[Fool]

Naive about getting West for Ben and Sasha?

No I'm honestly in the dark to Perry having that kind of mind-voodoo power.

[Glenn]

Naive that the Hornets wouldn't consider trading West for salary purposes.

We've got people here suggesting that they'll give up Chris Paul for the same reason, FCS.
