Not a bad trade since Wallace is going to retire and Pavlovic is solid at best. Gave up nothing for Oneal, which is a serviceable backup with any team and maybe starting center material for most teams.
What cleaveland needs is another star to take the load off LBJ. Mo williams is good and i thought he would be sort of a semi star, but he's pretty much turned into a spot up 3pt shooter with muscles. He doesn't create and averaged like 3 ast for cleaveland last year. wtf, 3ast for a PG is shit.
LBJ needs like another Alpha male from any other team who's not a true superstar/franchise player (basically anyone who is not a kobe, wade, cp3, duncan, Dirk, etc.) There are a lot out there, try to get Baron Davis, Carmelo, Bosh, Vince Carter, gay, even dwight howard could use his help creating a shot.
Cleaveland management should stop trying to go for solid/good role players and put them aside LBJ. Although all these acquisitoins are solid for a good team, LBJ still needs a Pippen type. If they don't get another 2nd tier great player, and keep getting has been stars like shaq and joe smith (even though he was never really a star and a bust for #1 pick), LBJ might build his own team with NYK. He'll sign himself and the Knicks would get anyone he demands (baring the guy wants to play with LBJ). LBJ + Bosh, LBJ + Amare, LBJ + Arenas even.
