Dont you know QQ be da BOSS??

Its a hell of a trade, but Ferry should’ve played some video games first ala the Rockets GM. Or payed attention to STATS issues with Shaq, most notably, Shaq’s ability to take away STATS drives to the basket and just clogging the lane because he’s in the post. LeBron could run into the same problem, and we all saw what happens in the conference finals when LBJ has to rely on his jumper too much.

Keep in mind one other factor. This is LeBron’s team, he’s matured this team and he’s matured as a player.

This isn’t Shaq joining a young D-Wade to help him mature, this isn’t Shaq joining a Lakers squad with a young Kobe. This isn’t the same as the Penny situation either. In all of those situations, the younger star gaurd was still in his very early years in the L when Shaq joined their squads, so Shaq had that ‘presence’ over them. LeBron has been through that ish already. He’s matured a lot more than any of those guys had when Shaq joined them. Considering LBJ’s ego is easily one of the biggest in the L (and for good reason), it’ll be interesting to see how he meshes with Shaq, and how Shaq responds when he realizes he has no idea how to help LBJ get to the next level.

Plus, how exactly does this help the Cavs get past the Magic or the Lakers? Shaq is huge and all, but at this stage Dwight could run circles around him. Quickness is now Dwight’s huge asset against Shaq. And if they have a healthy Jameer next year they’ll be even more dangerous.

With the Lakers, Gasol/Odom/Bynum are going to do the same as Dwight, use their finesse/quicks to take care of Shaq. If Dwight couldn’t do what he needed to against the Lakers, what chance does Shaq have? Plus, I’d rather have Kobe at this stage than an inexprienced LBJ. This year Kobe finally figured out how to win a championship. His experience, IQ, and drive will trump LBJ’s physicality.

Personally, LJB would’ve been FAR better off with VC as his sidekick.

Is this what you want the comments section to be like? Ban QQ already.
