In what is a complete turn from what GM Danny Ferry stated to reporters just days ago, it seems the Cavs are intent on making the biggest splash of the day, by obtaining the rights to Suns center Shaquille O’Neal. The Cleveland Plain-Dealer is reporting today that the Cavs are offering Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns for Shaq. With Amare Stoudemire now set to stay in Phoenix, at least for now, all signs point to Shaq being on his way out. Things will get very busy in the few hours that remain till the trade deadline.
ESPN.com is reporting the Knicks are closing in on a deal that will involve both the Chicago Bulls and OKC Thunder. The deal would send Larry Hughes to New York, along with Chris Wilcox. The Bulls would get Tim Thomas and Jerome James, and the Thunder would get Malik Rose.
The Sacramento Bee is reporting a deal that is done between the Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Kings are sending Bobby Jackson and Shelden Williams to Minnesota for Rashad McCants and Calvin Booth. Sacramento has continued to state their moves are solely for financial purposes, and they are picking up two expiring contracts in McCants and Booth.
In other news, one person who was not happy that Tyson Chandler failed his physical was the Thunder’s Joe Smith. ESPN.com is reporting that Smith is now telling people he wants to get his contract bought out, and sign with the Boston Celtics.
