Granted Shaq now is a shadow of the Diesel that left the Lakers five years ago but he still makes an impact. Now, all those Eastern teams are going to have to figure out how to push that giant mound an inch off the block. We know that he will be better shape than he has been recently because he wants a deal for two more years. Even with King James, Cleveland is a defense-oriented team so Shaq won't be worrying about coming out on pick-and-rolls.
I wonder though, LeBron has always had the middle open, that way he can drive to the hoop or pitch it back to his shooters. Now, he's going to have Shaq clogging up the thoroughfare.
