It was nearly LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal in Cleveland. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns nearly made a trade that would have sent Shaq to Cleveland two weeks ago. The Times called it "the Big Near Miss''.
According to the report, Phoenix was prepared to ship Shaq East for the bargain basement price of Wally Szczerbiak and Sasha Pavlovic. However, instead of Szczerbiak, whose $13.5-million-a-year deal is expiring, the Cavaliers wanted the Suns take Ben Wallace, who has one more season at $14 million left.
Of course, who's to say it won't come up again this summer?
