| Cavaliers Acquire Shaquille O'Neal |
|---|
On Thursday afternoon, the Cavaliers made one of the biggest deals in team history -- in more ways than one -- acquiring 15-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer, Shaquille O'Neal, for Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic and a second round draft pick in 2010.
O’Neal, a 15-time NBA All-Star and four-time NBA Champion, played in 75 games (all starts) during the 2008-09 season, averaging 17.8 points on an NBA-best and career-high .609 shooting, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 30.1 minutes per game.
