Brian Windhorst reported earlier today that although both Shaq and Delonte West participated in the morning shootaround today, they will not be playing this evening. He has since changed this report to say they are now likely to play, but this raises some questions.
The only logical reason that both Shaq and Delonte would be held out of a game is if a large trade is pending. That's $25 million worth of salary the Cavs could be moving. Could the Cavs be hoping to trade Shaq to a team that waives him to clear cap and allows the Cavs to resign him? Antawn Jamison or David West would both be very nice additions to a team that is already the best in the NBA
