Reports out of Cleveland are telling us that Shaquille O’Neal has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for center Ben Wallace, guard Sasha Pavlovic and the 46th overall pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft. This looks to be very promising for the Phoenix Suns who are most-likely looking to rebuild, but what’s this mean for the Cavs, who were so close to the promised land, they could smell Jack Nicholson’s cologne? Shaq brings size and experience, both things the Cavaliers will need when next year’s playoffs come around.

Don’t be alarmed, this is still LeBron James‘ team. The staff knows it, the players know it, and we hope Shaq knows it as well. There’s been some heavy movement pre-draft day, so we’re excited to see what else happens before Blake Griffin is announced as the number one pick.

Everything was holding to form during NBA’s Draft Lottery tonight until pick number six which was projected to go to the Grizzlies but ended up with Timberwolves. Then, the shuffling began as number four went to the Kings, who had the highest chance to get the number one pick. The final three teams remaining in the lottery were the Thunder, Grizzlies and Clippers. In the end, the Los Angeles Clippers got the number one pick in the draft, beating out Oklahoma (third pick) and Memphis (second pick).

Since the Clippers won the number one pick in this year’s NBA Draft, this means they’re probably going to be taking Blake Griffin, NCAA’s Player of the Year from Oklahoma. They have some key role players like Baron Davis and Eric Gordon that can help to spread the court with Griffin on the floor. We’re excited to see how the draft unfolds on June 25th.
