Owner Real Deal Posted February 15, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Chad Ford thinks so, if they land the Amare deal... Even if the Cavs get Stoudmire, they might attempt do a secondary trade to obtain Jamison or Murphy to fill the need for a 4 who could stretch the floor with his shooting. Given that the Cavs have concerns about well Stoudemire and Shaquille O’Neal would fit together, the team would consider moving Shaq if it acquired Amare. For instance, the Cavs could swap O’Neal and their first-round pick to Washington for Jamison and Mike Miller. They could send the same package to Indiana in a deal for Murphy and Mike Dunleavy. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/13214/is-cleveland-big-enough-for-amare-and-shaq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Shaq would be the laughing stock of the league if that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I mean it would make some sense, Amare and Shaq couldnt coexist in Phoenix so what makes the Cavs think it would work this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if they land Amare why is this so hard to believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Marc Stein: Cleveland's interest in Antawn Jamison dates to last season, which has apparently spawned some radio rumblings in the DC area about the Wizards and Cavs discussing a deal that would swap Jamison and Mike Miller for Shaquille O'Neal. I've been encouraged by both teams to dispel that notion in the strongest possible terms. Both teams resoundingly shot it down when we checked with them. Got a flat "no" from one of the two teams and a louder "BIG no" from the other. The Cavs still covet Jamison, but giving up Shaq to get him makes no sense, even if they do successfully strike a deal for Amare Stoudemire before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. On top of the fact that the Cavs are very pleased with Shaq's first 50-plus games in town, they need him for potential down-the-road playoff matchups against Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, etc. Cleveland, remember, thinks defense first.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=TradeTalkRoundup-2010#shaq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 That move would be idiotic and when you're at the point that you'll trade Shaq, it's just a joke and fantasizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
