Why not Shaq?

If things keep going as they are and the Cavs want to add a final piece, then perhaps they should trade for Shaq:
Cavs get: Shaq
Suns get: Wally, Snow, Cavs first round pick
Cavs' benefits -- Shaq's a proven winner who can give them 20-25 minutes of inside scoring and bruising play. Shaq can help wear down opponents bigs and score inside. Even as a shadow of his former MDE self, he's still a quality big with limited minutes.
Suns' benefits -- Unloading Shaq for expiring contracts give the suns more flexibility heading into the off-season. Wally will fit the Suns style of play well and Amare becomes 'the Man' in Phoenix as they rebuild around him and JR with the extra pick.
This is probably the best the cavs can do -- even better than getting Joe Smith back.
