Could he possibly be the difference in a Magic-Cavs series? John Hollinger wrote this before the season started: "Over the summer, the Suns traded O'Neal to Cleveland, where his primary responsibility will be to keep himself ready to defend Dwight Howard in the conference finals."
When I read that I thought Shaq's still a superstar and making $21 million a year, no way that could be right.
Everything's played out exactly as Hollinger said. Now it looks like the first two rounds of the playoffs will be Shaq's preseason and the season for Shaq will start in the third round. His entire reason for existing on the Cavs roster and making $21 million is seemingly for one purpose: to neutralize Howard in the conference finals.
Will Shaq be magic for the Cavs?
