The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement in principle to acquire Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’Neal (notes), multiple sources involved in the talks told Yahoo! Sports late Thursday night.

Cleveland will send Ben Wallace (notes), Sasha Pavlovic (notes), the 46th pick in Thursday’s draft and cash to the Suns for O’Neal.

Guess Joe will need to find some beef in that draft or FA to throw at Shaq since we will see him again at least 4 times... We know Amir could not handle Shaq so Joe anticipated that match up and disposed of Amir and his 5 fouls...

Poor Ben is now being tossed around like a rag doll since he bolted from here....

They can't be any worse, but i don't see them getting any better.

I wonder how having a large immobile big like Shaq is going to affect the Cavs' (read: Lebron's) offensive flow.

Just like last year with Z. Except this year Z will get 24 and so will Shaq so it's slow-footed center all the time.

But Z has way more range than Shaq ever did. It seems to me like Shaq is going to clog the lane for Lebron. But maybe I don't understand basketball X's and O's. I am just a casual internet fan.

I wonder, between Shaq and Z, who would win a 50 yard footrace. I bet Shaq would dust him.

P.S. Welcome to the club.

Crazy move by the Cavs. I don't see why they don't just return with the same team year after year and add someone like Ron Dupree to spice things up?

Yeah, I'm confused - I thought they were trying to copy us.
