Ben Wallace is/was one of the best defensive players of this decade and he was unable to contribute the way he did in the past due to his aging body. Are they better now? Perhaps, but with the 20mil owed to Shaq are they now limited in who else they can sign? I am questioning weather this is what they need to win a championship.
OF THIS DECADE?!?!?!
YOU FUCKIN' GOOFY FOR THAT COMMENT.
And you mean to tell me adding Shaq isn't a step up from Verrajao (sp) and Ben Wallace?
Greg Oden is twice as old as Ben Wallace and at least makes ESPN highlights from time to time.
Delonte West, Mo Williams, LBJ, Big Z and Shaq?
Tell you one thing, Dwight Howard ain't catching no alley oops if you got them out on the floor. You can play Ilgauskus as an over sized PF (because he's got good mid-range, some long-range capabilities) with Shaq down low... that's killing the post game provided Shaq stays moderately effective. Not to mention JBJ is 6'8, 260lbs and athletic as fuck blocking two shots a game.
I know damn sure Detroit and Jason Maxiell/Kwame Brown won't be effective down low with that spread.
Quit hatin' on the Cavs.
