Is Shaq heading to Cleveland?
Per Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic, trade talks between the Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers are heating up again.
There were talks in February before the trade deadline, but the pieces of the deal in current talks are the same as before. Phoenix would send Shaquille O'Neal to Cleveland, who would send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix.
The Suns could save considerable amounts of money (nearly $10 million), according to Coro.
Shaq is due a $20 million salary and will count $21 million towards the salary cap next year. Wallace is due a $14 million salary, but there are reports that he is considering retirement. Pavlovic is only guaranteed $1.5 million of his nearly $5 million salary.
O'Neal averaged 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season.
