Rock and Roller? The Big Aramis? (I heard Dan Patrick go with The Big Cayahoga, so you could say when he started scoring a lot -- "The Big Cayahoga is on fire.").
Anyway, Shaq to Cleveland for basically nothing of value (the completely washed up Ben Wallace and the ultra-mediocre Sasha Pavlovic).
Is this what Cleveland needs? Absolutely not. Cleveland needs guys 6'6" to 6'9" who can guard on the perimeter and make open 15 footers. The Diesel is at least a post presence, and he may help LeBron conserve energy in the regular season (just drop it in to Shaq 15 possessions a game).
It also provides the Cavs with probably the two most physically dominating players of the past 20 years (Diesel and LeBron). Unfortunately, one is 37 years old and has logged 1,000,000 minutes on the NBA hardwood.
Grades:
Cavs -- B (worth a shot, gave up nothing)
Suns -- C (you would have thought that dumping $20MM of salary you could have received one actual good player in return; but they were not winning with Shaq and they may buy out the two guys they got and save some cash).

Will Shaq play for every team in the NBA
He has a long way to go to catch Joe Smith.
