Cavs close to sending Shaq for Marvin

[D21]

I think Its a great move. Atlanta have to take risk on Shaq to get further to the playoffs. Plus its best for Marvin to resurrect his career In Cleveland. Its best for the future also for cap relief.

Did CLE send young potential for Shaq ? No, then sent Ben Wallace.
Why do we need to send Marvin ?

Send Zaza+Evans for Shaq and that's all.
Sending Marvin will cost us a bigger trade later with Marvin and Crawford for example.

We won't go further with Shaq without Marvin than Miller with keeping Marvin, so there is no point to that except ASG is maybe starting to think that with Shaq and the same results, they can get more money selling more seats, while still not spending any tax dollar.

We have the player who is the more All about money in the NBA, now we have the owners going perfectly with him. They are both happy about making money, not winning and kill every summer fans hope.
Thanks.

I think this move would be made stricly for the playoffs...It gives you guys more size down low against teams like Boston and Orlando..Also allows Al to play the 4 and match up against guys like K.G, Bosh and Booz instead of the bigger centers..A frontline of J.Smith, Al, and Shaq can be one of the most effective defensive frontlines in the league if you ask me.

A frontline of J.Smith, Al, and Shaq can be one of the most effective defensive frontlines in the league if you ask me.

I agree with that, but winning is based on defense and offense, and if increase in defense is not higher than what we loose in offense, because we would loose a lot with Josh at SF, then it doesn't make any sense to do it.
