Hard to say, but I don't think that the Cavs would trade Shaq straight-up for Emeka... I believe the Cavaliers will try to get another piece or at-least a pick included in the deal. Otherwise, it is helping NO more than the Cavs...although EO is a good defender and good runner (Scott-style).
As for Shaq... he isn't in any position to be demanding anything. If he can get a 2 year guarantee at 7million, he'll take it almost anywhere.... almost. New Orleans does have Paul...so Shaq would likely be acceptable to that sort of trade.
If Shaq isn't S&T'd... he goes to Dallas, Houston, Knicks, etc and takes MLE tpe money (or less) and then he'll only have 1 yr guarantee. Shaq doesn't command ANYTHING anymore.
