Not hardly. Utah gave up 2 1sts their full tpe and a player. I'd want Cleveland nowhere near that deal.

Would the Hawks make that deal for Shaq and nothing else besides cash and picks? The Hawks may be of the same mindset as the Cavs last year that all they need is someone that can cover Howard to put them over the top. As long as the Cavs don't give up JJ, Andy, or Eyenga I would do any deal.

Shaq won't participate in the sign and trade that would make it happen, according to Windhorst.

I think you're mistaken about what the Jazz gave up. Even if not, Jefferson's getting old (and he never was that good to begin with, IMO).

Where did Windhorst say this? Here's what he says on the matter in his latest article:

Thwarted in bid for Lowry, Cleveland Cavaliers continue search for up-tempo point guard | cleveland.com

There were also various reports Wednesday that the Cavs were talking to the Atlanta Hawks about trading for small forward Marvin Williams. According to league sources, the Hawks are motivated to trade Williams and have been looking for takers and also have some interest in Shaquille O'Neal.
Cavs General Manager Chris Grant has a relationship with Williams from when he was in the Hawks' front office. But Williams had a poor 2009-10 season, averaging just 10.1 points and 5.1 rebounds. He also has four years and $30 million left on his contract.
A league source said that while O'Neal's representatives have been pushing the Cavs to look for a sign-and-trade with the Hawks, the Cavs are only mildly interested. It is believed O'Neal is looking for a two-year contract worth more than the $5.7 million mid-level exception and also plenty of playing time. Without cooperation from the Cavs, his options will likely be quite limited.

So while the Cavs have a quality point guard in Mo Williams, they obviously intend to acquire another one. Two players believed to be on the radar are former Ohio State star Mike Conley and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ramon Sessions.

Conley is coming off the best season of his career for the Grizzlies, averaging 12 points, 5.3 assists and shooting 45 percent. Memphis might be interested in reducing salary and are trying to have O.J. Mayo play more point guard next season.

I would LOVE to see Conley running Byron Scott's offense in Cleveland. That would be one way to recapture some excitement in the Cavs.

That has to be the best rumor I've heard so far. Do that and then pull a Shaq sign and trade for Oden and you would have a lot of happy Ohioans.

That, and Oden doesn't seem like they guy you'd want if your plan is to go uptempo.

Summer league highlights best (and worst) of prospect Christian Eyenga: Cavaliers Insider | cleveland.com

But the Cavs' eyes are focusing on Eyenga. None of his points were more impressive than his vicious one-handed dunk on a fast break that lit up the fans at UNLV's Thomas and Mack Center. It was the sort of play that makes a player with Eyenga's ability stand out in a group of young players attempting to get noticed.
The Cavs are using the five games this week to help them determine if they want to sign Eyenga and bring him to training camp in the fall. Last year, after a choppy summer league, they let Eyenga sign a contract to play with a team in Spain.
